I've watched all of the media that I use to love turn to shit in the last decade. Myspace was great, for a time. Facebook was too. Digg. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Colbert. Chapelle. JRE. YouTube. Reddit. They all got mainstreamed (or ceased to exist altogether) and they all lost their edge.

There used to be options. Good entertainment. Edgy, funny, powerful, truth...
Truthiness in the case of Colbert. WTF happened to that guy?
I can't even stand to look at him anymore.
That dude became a real life parody of the parody he used to be!
It's actually really damn funny, just not the way that he thinks it is. He became the joke.
JRE too, dude straight up sold out, turned his studio into a nightmare, became a rich know-it-all alcoholic type.... geez joe

Anyway, I just wanted to vent about that. Media sucks these days.
I mostly just listen to audiobooks or read.
I've been enjoying Philip K. Dick books, that dude wrote some fun and weird shit.

Yeah, Joe Rogan's new studio is engineered to be off putting. It looks cramped as fuck, the colors are painful to look at. The flag is gone, the shit he had on the table is gone. I'm pretty sure his guests don't feel comfortable. They did an amazing job destroying his podcast.
