Why the World Still Needs the Voice of America
Why the World Still Needs the Voice of America For decades, VOA opened windows to the world for millions living under censorship. Former U.S. Ambassador to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan Daniel Rosenblum says VOA was “an essential source of information for society, the government, and our embassy.” Now that voice has been silenced and America’s global influence is paying the price. “Our competitors and adversaries are broadcasting. We’re not,” he warns. #SaveVOA #PressFreedom #short Why the World Still Needs the Voice of America

Having the public transportation creates the demand. Growth along the orange, yellow/blue and red lines took longer than expected but is clear.

Sure. How’s that cybercab thing going in Texas? Not hearing anything about it.

Cannot believe that people are talking about the exact same stuff as a decade ago.

Back in the old days, someone like this would do Stern, do celebrity boxing, then go away.

He is perfect to create the The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch tv show. Also feel free to connect to other Philip K. Dick and Alien and Predator.

I wish people knew more about Venezuela. Maduro needs to go but everything this administration is doing is wrong.

i find every story about costco's brand strategy and overall approach completely fascinating.

Who inspired the movie Bladerunner? Is that really the best they could do?

Weirdest part of the Venezuelan fixation is that if you want a blue print of what the Trump administration has done and is doing, one just needs to look at what Chavez and Madura did to their country. Strange that the administration admires Orban and hates Maduro.

I’m fascinated with what gets one of these channels. A mediocre show with one seasons or less of content? Why?

It is true to the Lovecraftian tradition of introducing a terrifying cosmic monster and then failing to deliver anything beyond “madness”

I’m joking about this. I will say that when Happy Days went from single camera to a studio audience it felt like something sad had happened.

“Taped before a live audience” is theatre with do overs. Demand perfection!

It’s still the local paper for a very densely populated area and I figured that would keep it going indefinitely. But there are real competitors in the space now.

Baltimore Banner is covering more and more of Maryland, so there’s some competition for the Metro section now.

Counterpoint: every Tron movie is the coolest techno beat/special effects movie at that moment of time. And its ok to not like them.

Tron had a big impact on the scifi, special effects, and computer worlds. Also has consistently looked cool for a long time.
