The wood is weathered bare

I like old fences
Where they’ve fallen into disrepair
A few slats missing and
The wood is weathered bare

Sunday May 19th — Payola, gatekeepers and Top40 were way worse than social media - When I see article after article after article about how algorithms and AI are ruining art and music and news, I only have one question: Are you insane? Do you not remember Top 40 heavy rotations? Were things better when hit songs were selected by payola? (Also: How much ya wanna bet payola is STILL going on? It’s just called targeting now.) Were people more informed when gatekeepers decided what you could know about events in the nation’s capital, and decided the entire population of the United States was not mature enough to see photos of President Franklin Delano Rosevelt in a wheelchair? Or any reporting at all about the open secret of President John F Kennedy’s naked pool parties?
