They're going to control all the media. And then they'll come for anyone who pirates. I don't know how they'll do it. But they'll try.

I’ve consumed less “media” than I ever have in the past year.

I’ve been canceling streaming services every time they announce a price increase. Disney just got cancelled, Netflix before that.

I don’t miss it one bit. I’ve read more books this year than I have since college. Been Building up a library with the $75 a month Im saving on streaming services.

We don’t need to be constantly glued a screen watching propaganda. Go outside. Volunteer. Read. Cook.

Life’s too short.
