America’s Broken Stopwatch: Time Has Run Out on “60 Minutes”

 

 

AMERICA’S BROKEN STOPWATCH: “60 MINUTES'” TIME IS UP

Dating back as long as I can remember, every Sunday night of my adult life was spent in front of the television watching CBS’ much-acclaimed 60 Minutes. The weekly trifecta of news features was an important part of our lives. Sunday nights spent with Mike Wallace, Dan Rather, Morley Safer, Ed Bradley, and the rest of the journalists dropped the demarcation of a national drawbridge: One week ended and another began. This was especially true before the internet started scrambling our brains and when fewer options existed to stay informed about current events. 60 Minutes was THE SHOW, one reason a news hour was near top of the TV rankings for five decades.

How to Combat “AI” Fakery (on Social Media)

 

 

HOW TO COMBAT “AI” FAKERY (ON SOCIAL MEDIA)

Lately, I’ve been confronted with an alarming number of fake AI-generated images and false news stories.

One fabrication this week circulating online originated here in Las Vegas. The image (see example here) shows three music legends together onstage — Elton John, Celine Dion, and Neil Diamond (in a wheelchair). There’s even a story attached — completely false — that Diamond was serenaded in front of a live Las Vegas audience by the other two, who sang his classic “Sweet Caroline.”

It’s shameless trash.

5 Things I Don’t Do Anymore

 

 

 

Some years ago, if you’d told me I’d change my preferences and habits to this extreme, I’d have said you were crazy. But indeed–I have changed my preferences and habits, and I suspect so too have many of you.

There are lots of things we used to do with some frequency that we simply don’t do anymore, or — we now do them far less often. Many of these things were once pillars of our identity. Now, they’re no longer (as) important.

I don’t share this with any sense of pride, nor do I believe I’m better for the omission. In fact, in each of the examples here, I’m losing something by not doing these same things. However, I also can’t force myself to go back to the way life was before.

Feel free to comment and share. Am I alone in my changing habits and preferences?
