Fred Rogers, the creator and host of “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”, was born #OTD in 1928. Rogers realized early on that his greatest potential impact would likely be through television, a new technology at the time. Over the years, Rogers’ show helped provide consistency and guidance for countless children whose parents’ capacity to raise them was increasingly strained by capitalist demands.

Today's art is by Niz: https://prettysweet.com/mr-rogers-mural-austin-texas/

"The threat of a recession is looming and economic uncertainty is rising as markets, businesses and individuals adjust to a new reality: the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates and pulling back on its epic monetary experiment that started with the Great Financial Crisis.

"The two-hour documentary Age of Easy Money investigates how the Fed’s experiment has changed the American economy and what it means that the era may be over."

People should watch or listen to DemocracyNow! It is significantly denser than the #PBSNewshour whose most prominent funders are the #rail industry & #walmart

Also, shoutout to #AmyGoodman, host of #DemocracyNow, who was beaten up by #Indonesian #military while reporting on their crimes.

Also, this #PBS #Frontline documentary about our period of extremely low interest, and potential hangover effects is very important info on the topic of our National Debt. I wish it was mandatory viewing for Congress members and staff. And, that they were all required to speak about our National Debt in historical context. Especially, the last twenty years. But, alas, the mere idea is probably blasphemous as “woke virus” thinking to half of Americans.

Instead of buying a worthless Cookie Monster NFT for $60, the same amount is enough for a one-year subscription to PBS Passport, PBS' streaming service. Passport offers PBS' back library of primetime programming (PBS Kids programs are on a separate app for free).

The $60 is treated as a donation to your local PBS station, so you'll also be supporting public broadcasting.

Thanks to whoever it was who recommended "Ron Carter: Finding the Right Notes." It definitely was an old birdsite pal, and the recommendation may even have been over there - it was right around the time of that first big migration. I found it airing at a different time, recorded it, and finally watched just now: Enjoyable, informative, moving - and basses still freak me out, with their lack of frets.

It used to broadcast #DemocracyNow And #BillMoyers. The Bill Moyers show is how I found out who #AndrewBacevich and #MichelleAlexander were. "SOUL!" from the 70's was completely #radical

Now they have #FiringLine where #HerbertHoover's granddaughter sits around pretending #ThomasFriedman is "the left". It's infuriating.

I'm really tired of #PBS giving so much airtime to #DavidBrooks like it's still #1995. How about talking to people living the fallout of his #neoliberal ideology?

❝ Most everything that has been written about cultural hauntology—a usage coined by Mark Fisher—has focused on how very British it all is. Although I grew up during the era in which it thrived, I was born and raised in the United States, and have never lived in Britain. So why was my response so immediate and powerful, if this music and its associated design aesthetic were based on exclusively British cultural forms? ❞ → https://mediatedsignals.com/2021/02/13/remapping-cultural-hauntology-an-american-perspective/

#The1619Project episode 4 explodes the myth of #capitalism in the #US.

Founded here and in #Europe on #slavery (from where do you think most of the wealth in your precious period pieces derived?), capitalism in the U.S. retains much of the same characteristics as 200 years ago.

The author of #SlaveryByAnotherName (book and #PBS show) helps explain in the context of #Amazon in #Bessemer #Alabama.

The #corporate fight against #unions is used to highlight the ills of our brutal society.

Excellent. Well made.

Chance is a remarkable thing.

Were it not for the clouds over Kokura, Japan on August 9th, 1945, that city would have been blown to hell and back by Fat Man, the bomb that destroyed Nagasaki — the secondary target.

And because that happened, a man named Ted Fujita would survive and later go to the United States — where he would advance the study of tornados so much, and save so many lives, that they named the scale after him. #americanmasters #pbs

Hi! I'm a #journalist in #Seattle (via #Cleveland) covering science & the #environment for Crosscut/KCTS9 #PBS. I write about climate #adaptation, human/#wildlife interaction, enviro health, urban #ecology & ppl working to understand these things. I love reporting on assumptions, unintended consequences & grappling w/learning from mistakes. I also love bikes & #dadjokes!

Excited to chat re: the above, as well as scicomm/journo techniques.
