Frazz by Jef Mallett for March 21, 2025

There is a lot of old technology in the Libraries.

The U.S. is disintegrating too rapidly for the media to keep up with.

Most monthly news magazines have Facebook accounts. And you can read news updates on them.

Perhaps ‘news updates’ might be a more accurate title, but even that doesn’t cover the gap between the event and the publication time. It is said that the elapsed time offers opportunity for a fuller description and interpretation of events. But as life has moved on, that means there’s already a little dust on the event.

Conundrum

Magazines are so last century

I’ve Time (magazine) on my hands …

The faster we go, the behinder we get!

Maybe the world would slow down if we went back to reading magazines . . .

I recommend the slow-news dot org site

Back in the last century I read Time, Newsweek, US News and World Reports, AW&ST and The Economist every week because they had differing political POV. When US News went digital I dropped it, When Time changed their format from news to that of a Entertainment/News magazine I dropped it, when Newsweek went digital I dropped it. I still read The Economist and AW&ST along with MTN and a couple of daily newspapers which I think keep me fairly well informed

The world does move fast for the young.

Getting today’s news is like trying to keep up with events, by looking only at the second hand.

The context provided by time passing often beats the immediacy of RIGHT NOW.

News comes at us faster, and lot;s of people seem to forget it faster.

It ceases to be news faster…
