"Don Lemon’s desperation for relevance" -- he's desperate just for any attention. I've seen short clips of his podcast and his man-in-the-street interviews and he's just as abysmal at those as he was at CNN.
Look. The average intelligence (whatever the heck that was/is) among humans for the past at least 100,000 years was adequate to perpetuate the human race. Most estimates place world population at the time of Christ as 200-300M. Assume the average IQ at that time was 100 (equivalent) and 100-150M people were below average IQ. But they persisted and human population, so they must have been smart enough in enough ways to survive.
If you told me Lemon's IQ is 100, or 105, or 95, I would believe you. He is smart enough to survive and prosper in an environment that caters to him much more than it does to many others.
But he has been told all this time that he's smart. He's not. Much like a parrot he can repeat a great many words and thoughts that he has been taught make him sound smart.
His real problem is two-fold. 1) He is willfully and obdurately ignorant. He doesn't really know much, and he doesn't care to learn. Why should he? So far his life has been great.
2) He is unable, probably, to actually think. Consider the smartest people you are familiar with, personally. I'll bet they share a common trait. They want to think. To ponder. To learn and know new (at least to them) things. They tend to ask a lot of questions of themselves and others. Much like 3-year-olds, they want to know "Why?" "How?" and so on.
Now try to picture Lemon seeking to know something new. Nope. He rides the wave he thinks he knows.
Actual journalists do not participate in planning forced entry into a house of worship, nor harassing those engaged in worship. None of that constitutes journalism…
I didn't notice an uncanny valley in the Time video. But I did see something in the closed captions. When Washington refers to "the United Colonies of North America," the captions change it to "United Provinces." I guess the C-word is just too toxic, or something.
Oh well, as a great man once said, "Nostalgia is just a mask to hide your sadness."
You forgot the #1 bad martyr George Floyd. Why is it “egg” punk? What am I missing? My brother is 8 years older and played Devo a lot. The cover of satisfaction is great.
Like "egghead," I guess? There's supposedly "chain punk" and "egg punk." I dunno, whenever a new music subgenre pops up, everybody starts calling it that.
"Grunge." What, because they didn't bathe? That hardly narrowed it down.

Maybe "Egg" signifying young, new? Whatever. Grunge was grungy music, grungy people.
