What is Marriage and Family? To me marriage and family is really all about being cooperative in these various ways.
M is for meeting or trying to meet each other needs.
A is for active listening to each other.
R is for reaching out to the other person.
R is for trying to read (see) each other perspective on things.
I is for interactions between each person.
A is for trying to show allegiance to being involved to try to solve.
G is for gaining understanding.
E is for trying to educate each other to see all sides.
and
F is for finding or seeking answers.
A is for allowing each other to talk.
M is for the meeting of the minds.
I is for being able to interact with others if possible.

Happy New Year, Charlie Brown!
This one is very early, but I am on a roll. 'Happy New Year, Charlie Brown!' created by Charles M. Schlutz is when Charlie is assigned in school to read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy over the New Years holiday and write a report. He wants to enjoy the holiday with the little red-haired girl, but something happens and couldn't. This one is not as old as the other Charlie Brown specials, but it is still fun to watch just to see the gang getting ready for another new year together.

Who Is Clavicular? The Looksmaxxing Streamer Who Ran Over A Stalker In His Cybertruck
What is so damaging to this current culture is the ant-intellectualism which pervades nearly every element of it. Clavicular, real name, Braden Peters equivocates physical form with getting women, making money, and overall being a strong “man.”

Angry People Click More: The Economics of Manufactured Dissent
(Ideas from the book The Economic Policy of Online Media: Manufacture of Dissent, Routledge, 2024) Abstract This article examines the formula ‘angry people click more’ as a core logic of contemporary online media and as a structural transformation of propaganda in the digital age. It argues that the defining feature of the current attention economy is not only the circulation of misinformation, but the systematic deployment of openly implausible claims designed to provoke moral outrage and sustain profitable engagement cycles. The analysis links Oxford’s 2025 Word of the Year ‘rage bait’ to earlier lexical markers of epistemic crisis such as ‘truthiness’ and ‘post-truth’, and situates this trajectory against the older ‘manufacture of consent’ model of Herman and Chomsky. While classical propaganda in totalitarian and mass-media systems sought ideological unity through censorship and the Big Lie, the emerging Propaganda 2.0 model, articulated by Peter Ayolov, monetises anger by manufacturing dissent and deliberately populating the public sphere with absurd, polarising narratives. The article interprets this dynamic through the allegories of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ and Václav Havel’s greengrocer, showing how the move from fearful silence to permanent online rage changes both the psychology and political economy of propaganda. Drawing on Evgeny Morozov’s critique of fake-news moral panics, Frances Haugen’s disclosures about Facebook, and the documentary The Social Dilemma, it concludes that anger has become a tradable asset and that blatant lying has shifted from an authoritarian instrument of control to a market mechanism in a global ‘free trade in slogans’.
