I don't necessarily agree with everything I say, but I surely agree with everything I don't say.

A policeman gives a light to a punk protester in Amsterdam, 1984 (they say). Looks so much like young Neil Postman...

"A newspaper is not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator; it is also a collective organiser." Vladimir Lenin. “Where to Begin?”, 1901. #Postjournalism

As everything looks like a nail to a man with a hammer, so everything ought to be given an opinion by a person with an account on social media. As a hammer tends to turn a user into a carpenter, so social media tend to turn a user into an expert.

Historically not truth... Though the post - truth!

McLuhan, as it happened, was not an easy actor to work with: even when playing a parody of himself, a role he had been practicing full-time for years, he couldn't remember his lines, and when he could remember them, he couldn't deliver them. JD Peters on MM's cameo in Annie Hall

Many McLuhans Funny thing. Discussed with a friend that MM and Neil Young went to the same Kelvin High School in Winnipeg. And found a nice typo on the Shool's Wall of Fame: kelvinhistory.org/Hall%20of%20Fa…

If one says it’s raining and another says it’s not, the (post) journalist’s job is to say that rain is bad and should not be, no matter what you see.

Obsolete media become art forms (attributed to McLuhan). Or not. Some were art forms from the beginning.

Watchdogs prefer the paywalled garden. But readers do not. #Postjournalism amazon.com/dp/B08GWWXDG7

“Jean Baudrillard, a Frenchman, of all things, tells us that not only does language falsely represent reality, but there is no reality to represent... You can get a Ph.D. in this sort of thing.” Neil Postman, 1999 (A degree in Canadian TV - "Office Christmas Party," 2016)

Tribalism in real time.
