Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

Say what you want about millennials but if this was 2014 we would have found this girl’s name and address, sent her mom death threats and made her cry in front of Al Sharpton.

remembering my 101 film theory class and the instructor saying "the idea that you would ever see anything revolutionary in the confines of a narrative movie in a for-profit cinema should strike you as so ridiculous it's offensive" and students started cryin talking about pixar

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, your wedding vows (!), I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Remember the American government can send a rocket to the moon and finance three wars simultaneously, and apparently an inevitable nuclear apocalypse, but it can’t afford day care, social security or a functioning healthcare system….

[Jackson @Jacksonsrule]

Billionaires don’t have bank accounts like you and me. They have art collections,Yachts,Mansions,Stocks. None of it gets taxed until they sell it. So they just never sell it. They borrow against it instead. Live off the loans. Pay almost nothing. Then when they die, their kids inherit it all tax-free. The wealth never gets taxed, It just gets passed down.
And we wonder why the gap keeps getting wider.

🚨 are you paying attention to what's happening in boardrooms right now..

Coca-Cola CEO.. stepping down this month.. said AI was a factor..

Walmart CEO.. stepped down in February.. said AI was a factor..

two of the largest companies on earth.. combined revenue over $700 billion.. and both CEOs told CNBC the same thing.. "the next wave needs someone else"..

think about what that actually means..

these are the people who spent the last 3 years telling YOU to "adapt or get left behind".. the same ones who fired thousands of workers and replaced them with AI tools.. the same ones who sat on panels saying "AI won't take your job.. someone using AI will"..

and now THEY'RE the ones leaving..

they didn't get fired.. they weren't pushed out.. they saw what's coming and decided they'd rather announce a graceful exit than get exposed as the guy who didn't understand the thing he forced on everyone else..

they told the cashiers to adapt.. they told the drivers to adapt.. they told the middle managers to adapt.. and when it was their turn.. they quit.

I made a video specifically addressing and explaining why racist white people get bent out of shape when it comes to seeing black people in any fantasy fiction.

The video still holds up:
