Every Christmas break I pantlessly sit and watch and absorb a lot of pop culture (books, comic books, tv shows and movies) and then I have tea and I think a lot and I write a lot I’m recording a handful of My Pal Sammy episodes; this is my Captain’s Log...a record of some of the pop culture I've been consuming and some of the stuff I've been thinking about over my 2019 Christmas Break. I did this last year hence...Round 2!!
Tonight...Santa has come and gone...Christmas is kinda over. Shortly after Midnight, my tea-fuelled-thinking is focused on Come With Me If You Want To Live. Or...trust. This topic was prompted by:
I'm Going to Break Your Heart
Hate Inc.: Why Today's Media Makes Us Despise One Another by Matt Taibbi
Thanks for listening.
