Short Summary

1. In the 1950s and 60s, there was a belief in a golden age of news where information was delivered without political bias, shaped by cultural, technological, and political forces.
2. The rise of television, figures like Joe McCarthy and 60s radicals, and even Ronald Reagan played a role in shaping the news landscape.
3. The aftermath of World War II highlighted the power of propaganda and the need for responsible news delivery.
4. Government sought to regulate news organizations through acts like the Radio Act of 1927 and the Fairness Doctrine in 1949 to ensure programming was in the public interest.
5. During the era of television news, objectivity was valued, with news programs not expected to make money and a doctrine of social responsibility guiding ethical journalism.
6. The New York Times set high standards for objectivity, with television news aiming to emulate this model.
7. Clips from the era showed commentators presenting opposing viewpoints without bias or emotionally loaded language, allowing the audience to form their own opinions.
8. Anchors like Walter Cronkite maintained impartiality even when reporting on controversial topics like the election results of pro-segregation candidate George Wallace.
9. Journalism in the 60s and 70s shifted towards a more active approach, with journalists encouraged to call out lies and take sides based on facts.
10. By the end of the 60s, there was a noticeable shift towards more activism-driven content in newspapers like The New York Times, departing from earlier eras where objectivity was considered the highest journalistic goal.

"I like the business model of ‘I want money so I make something that I think is worth money, and you pay me that money and you get the thing, and we're all happy’,” Szymanski continued. “That's it. There's nothing complicated or hidden here.

Lmao I love it, gonna get this game now

The unsealed court order wasn’t just fishing for a list of vague identifiers that could be winnowed down to a list of suspects and a follow-up warrant demanding actual identifying information on these ~30,000 YouTube users. No, it appears the feds led with the big ask, demanding names, addresses, phone numbers, and user activity for every viewer of these videos between January 1-8, 2023. AND(!!) it asked Google to provide IP addresses for all viewers who were not logged into (or did not possess) Google accounts.

That's fucked

Damn dude lol

• The Bread Circus
  • They go through the Star Wars movies from a book lore perspective, point out flaws in the writing and lore-breaking, and offer suggestions on how the sequels could have been handled differently. They did The Last Jedi, and I really enjoyed it. They also have some cool videos on podracing, ships, and guns.
• Defunctland
  • History of Disney rides, takes the culture of the time into consideration, the video on queues is a must-watch, imo.
• Draw Like a Sir
  • Really solid drawing tutorials that aren't very complicated, takes the time to break down high-level concepts into simple exercises. Overall a really fun channel to watch, even if you're not into drawing.
• Fredrik Knudson
  • Long, deep-dive videos into internet history/culture. Rare uploads, but a banger every time.
• James Lee
  • Newgrounds-era animator with amazing compositing techniques and a very unique animation style where he inserts himself into his videos as a very animated caricature of himself.
• Lemmino
  • Like the History Channel but without the fluff. Cool topics, very nice animations, high production, high-quality content.
• MattKC
  • Known for a Lego Island decompilation project. Also does retro console repair from time to time — very fun watch.
• Paper Will
  • Rare uploads. but interesting video essay topics. High quality and a nice watch during lunch.
• Pecos Hank
  • A storm chaser who is Reed Timmer's ying to his yang. Very chill, documentary-quality footage featuring himself playing guitar and talking about the beauty and power of nature. You've probably seen his footage on the Weather Channel!
• Technology Connections
  • Great deep dives into random technology, old and new. The video on the popcorn button on microwaves is really good (I think that may be on his second channel?)

We now consider this anniversary version of Half Life to be the definitive version, and the one we'll continue to support going forward. Therefore, we'll be reducing the visibility of Half Life: Source on the Steam Store. We know Half-Life: Source's assets are still being used by the Source engine community, so it'll remain available, but we'll be encouraging new Half-Life players to play this version instead.

Wow. Didn't think they'd ever acknowledge HL:S again but here we are. This is such a cool update.

Don't skimp on anything that separates you from the ground: shoes, tires, mattress, etc. Your body will thank you later
