🇨🇦 Canada Feed Tips ✍️

Thread of (hopefully) helpful info and tips for the Canada feed...

I suspect media only covers entertainment by copying and pasting press kits that gets sent to them

Agreed. Mcluhan also gave lessor lessons about The impacts of 20th century technology.

But the Gutenberg press put information in everyone's hands much as social did.

So are we headed to the same place as back then? Hope not

Neil's flub was calliope theme for the clown show that is human hubris...

Those institutions would be unrecognizable after the change, I think.

What did they look like in the 19th century? In the Renaissance? Before the church?

In times when the media topography changes, it's really hard to find the centre.

Thanks for the thoughtful post.

I can see a mass ignore movement taking hold...

We are, in our home, speaking out against all of it:

Materialism, predatory mercantile economics, monoculture...

Check out her PODCAST Let's Appreciate.

Pretty grim but illuminated explanation that our economic media system is not designed to solve the problems it creates.

She feels that you need to play the game to win the game 😐

The Long Goodbye

Wow! It's funny how memory works. I distinctly remember hearing Fred say it. Oh well

@torontomike.com

That sorry for attempting to task you on something, but you're the only person I could think of who could answer this:

Howard claimed that he said a very bad swear word on the first h&f podcast? I could swear it was Fred who said it. Do you remember?

Thanks. I'm a big fan

Maybe....

Maybe....

Who thinks there would be a market for sketch comedy but strictly about Agile methodology ? 🤔

Adam Smith said otherwise.

But he had Boardwalk and Park Place so *** him ☹️
