Robert Putbam wrote a book about this about two decades ago. One of his students made a film about it in 2023. When civic instructions die, democracy won't be far behind

A thing I didn't grok when I was younger: You can just... do stuff. Anyone can write a book-- just open a document or buy a composition book and go. If you want to try an art form, you can take a class, watch a YouTube video, or borrow the tools from the library. You don't need permission to play.

literally every day is going to provide more evidence that the "let's provide some votes for the least bad trump nominees out of respect for the presidency" was a boneheaded strategy. any idiot could have told senate democrats that any vote for any of these people was going to make them look bad.

I keep hearing comments that elected Dems don’t know what to do because they are in the minority. How many smallish-audience podcasts did you do this week with Dems working hard to build up their audiences? If you want an alternative media universe, you have to help create it.

I really wish Dem strategists would just once go on TV and acknowledge that Trump only won by 1.5% and didn't even get a majority before they start with the tiresome "Democrats have completely lost touch with average Americans etc, etc." That's how you think after a landslide loss not a squeaker.

By the 1990s, there were even specialist “cyberculture magazines.” Mondo 2000, used the word in its first ever issue back in 1989. In the introduction, co-editors Queen Mu and R. U. Siruis wrote that their goal was “bringing cyberculture to the people!”

Cyberculture 1960s-1990s and the Legacy of Alice Mary Hilton

The word 'cyberculture' was coined by Alice Mary Hilton in 1963 and by the mid-90s was in common use. But Hilton never got her due, especially compared to her contemporary Marshall McLuhan.
