@Super70sSports I had these

[The McLuhan Institute @McLinstitute]

“I am an intellectual thug who has slowly been accumulating a private arsenal with every intention of using it. In a mindless age, every insight takes on the character of a lethal weapon.”

Marshall McLuhan to Ezra Pound,
letter, June 22, 1951

McLuhan, born this day, 1911.

[The McLuhan Institute @McLinstitute]

“Computers can do better than ever what needn’t be done at all.

Making sense is still a human monopoly.”

@Breaking911 Surreal here.

We might ask ourselves to what extent would it be possible not only to have trade without information coverage, but also to what extent would it be possible to have war?”

Marshall McLuhan
‘Information Hunt Looms Big’
1967

[The McLuhan Institute @McLinstitute]

“If education is undergoing the flip from instruction to discovery, or tending that way, there are other extraordinary flips resulting from technological advance.

And the general tendency is to use the audience as a work force instead of as a target or consumer.”

McLuhan
1967

[The McLuhan Institute @McLinstitute]

“To what extent is war accelerated and raised up into a potent force by just good coverage?

To what extent is information coverage itself aggressive warfare?”

Marshall McLuhan
‘Information Hunt Looms Big’
1967

@Super70sSports Definitely had that! Could use plug or batteries

[Hedgeye @Hedgeye]

America is running out of places to gather:

Bars and clubs per capita have fallen over 60% since the late 1970s, and since 2001 a fifth of movie theaters have shut their doors.

Over the past two decades, the country has lost roughly 2,000 golf courses and 7,000 bars and nightclubs.

Catching live music now costs a pretty penny: top-tour concert tickets averaged $134 last year, up +42% from 2019.

So Americans stay in. Nearly 80% see friends and family less than three times a week.

Read that again.

America has traded their community for their couch.

The C-2 Greyhound Has Made Its Last Trap Aboard A Carrier

It's truly the end of an era for naval aviation as the C-2's carrier onboard delivery role has now been turned over to the CMV-22 Osprey.
