There was a guy known as evil Elmo who would don the costume at fish wharf and scare folks till he got arrested.

Wonder if he was hacksxxxxinated to death by big Harma?

Unfortunately, makes perfect sense, considering who provides major funding for (what USED to be) Public Radio / Public TV). I’ve listened to Public Radio my entire life...but no more. It’s completely ruined.

I totally agree, Cathleen! And it’s not just Big Pharma they shill for. I recall that when the US inflicted Shock and Awe on the people of Iraq in 2003, NPR was doing puff pieces such as what was on the menu for US troops there. While I was flipping out about the horror, the injuries, deaths and destruction of a country, they were finding ways to make it all palatable. That was the death knell for me.

The television speaks but doesn't listen.

The internet analyzes, but doesn't understand.

We're being deceived by things that appear human but aren't. They speak but have no soul. They appear to learn, but stay cold and inorganic.

Our idols went from being a meat sage to a cloth puppet with a hand up its ass.

Reject all false idols.

That or follow them into the abyss, reader's choice.
