My folks didn't know what to make of my musical tastes....
Eddie the Head enjoyed the view.You too had Heather Thomas in the pink bikini on one wall, Maiden on the other wall? We must have hired the same interior decorator.
My biggest pet peeve is how often the "news" is just an advertisement for a network's other divisions. ABC/Disney is the worst. It's amazing how often the "news" on ABC is just a report on the latest Marvel movie that opened, the newest ride at WDW or the goings-on at ESPN.
Sports Illustrated doesn't ****ing matter. I'm glad it's dead.
Can't say that I care either ...I really just can't deal with how people wait until a thing is dead to suddenly romanticize it.
It's like the people who act like reading something bound in leather and printed on paper is so much more meaningful than reading it on a kindle.

Fnord was on the list for the next body issue?And yet they always spoke so highly of you
When I worked at ESPN back in 2009, I heard from a lot of folks over there in Marketing how their website is not all that important. They were also dismissive about online sports competitors like Bleacher Report, Yahoo sports, etc. Such Fools!

I generally agree with your post, but on this one point, I'm a brontosaurus. I still like the feel of a book in my hands and read 2-3 a month when in civilization.
I have a study with many leather bound books
(packed in a storage unit right now...but still)
So I don't think it's wrong to prefer a book any more than it is wrong that I prefer to use a computer than a phone.
But I don't sit around kvetching about kids being all about phones nowadays and neglecting PCs but you see a good number of book lovers who want to try to paint pervasive phone (and to a lesser extent PC) usage as the death of thought. I guarantee you my young adult children have spent more time reading, albeit on their phones, than I did and I was a voracious book reader in my youth.
So love books but as long as you don't think reading the same thing as an ebook on a digital screen is a lesser activity then you and I have as much beef as a pair of vegans.
