How to Pass the Time on Public Transport.

I can’t believe how long they kept it up. Did they ever get off the bus?

From the Reddit thread, a philosophical take:

If you think about it, despite themselves, they actually ended up with a reasonable compromise: the window was open half the time.

I do love a happy ending.

Useful scientific rejoinder
Yes. I suspect some of this hyperventilating about advertising and such, and I’m taking this back decades to the days of fears of subliminal messages in movies (like single frames of “buy CocaCola” or whatever) isn’t itself a distraction from the real indoctrination of The Narrative in movies, news media, history books, etc. I used to joke that conspiracy theories are created by the government to discredit anyone who might stumble on to the real conspiracy. I’m not laughing anymore.

Those two are married.
Heh.

Hate facts!
Curious if these media clowns understand the implications of the game that they have played. By discrediting, and especially suppressing, factual information, relativisticly non-factual fake news is given more credence. The vacuum must be filled somehow. In totalitarian regimes this is addressed by secret police and violence and such. Once extra-judicial elements like that get rolling, they don’t much care who they destroy, “legitimate” targets or those convenient targets of opportunity much lower in the power structure hierarchy. Same applies to their allies in academia.

And in other news.

Hate facts!
As Prager is wont to say “Truth isn’t a Leftwing Value.” Even jobs are lost for being inconveniently correct in public.
