I genuinely think a lot of millennials are reaching the same conclusion at the same time.
We grew up watching technology make life better every year. Cell phones. iPods. Smartphones. An app for everything. It felt like the future was arriving right in front of us, and we couldn’t wait for what came next.
Then somewhere along the way, it changed.
Everything became a subscription. Social media became algorithms. Every day feels like another once-in-a-lifetime event. The things that were supposed to save us time somehow ended up demanding more of our attention than ever.
We were sold convenience.

This clip shows how original versions of TV shows have been shortened via syndication and streaming. But the bigger takeaway is that most people don’t realize it. In an era where books are being banned and original materials are becoming harder to find. This is just a small/fun example of that concept. If we don’t hold on to original copies of books, newspapers, magazines, vinyl, commercial VHS tapes, television recorded VHS tapes, cassette tapes, DVDs, original news broadcasts etc, we will watch history be edited with holes in it where things are missing and presented as though it is the complete picture. Here’s a light example of that concept.
Wow this story upset me. I never knew about to story of Ruby Ridge.
The way they approached his home to killing his family is horrific to me!
Did anyone follow this story and have insight to share? It seems so unreal to me. That poor man!
Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee are heralded as one of the best Black celebrity couples to ever exist. However, that strong parternship came through a series of hard times that a lot of a couples experience. Their open lines of communication and discussing what was and wasn't working is likely what made their marriage last so long. It's also probably why they decided to try an open marriage in the 1960s.
