History is written by the teenagers? Hardly.

Your metric of “does anybody care?” being what teenagers know is really not relevant. Teenagers know jack all about anything.

In a just world, they should feel that capitulating to Trump’s agenda would be actual suicide.

They should be equally as afraid of enabling Trump. That’s where we come in.

If not for portraits on money, would we all easily remember what Washington, Lincoln, et. al. looked like?

I’m sure part or maybe most of the reason the titans of industry ‘s portraits don’t live in most of our memories is because there were much fewer photographs of them taken. I’m sure I have an order of magnitude more photographs of my child on my phone, then existed any photographs of Rockefeller.

We remember Rockefeller and Carnegie because of the public works they funded. If Bezos and Musk and Zuckerberg want to be remembered, build some libraries.

Most EVs, and especially Teslas, are prime offenders. It’s like the focused them specifically to blind oncoming drivers. Which would be selfishly on-brand for Tesla.

He does. That’s why it’s fun to point out that it’s wrong.

First, anything 95 years old is in the public domain. On Jan. 1st every year, works created 95 years ago enter the public domain. As I write this in 2025, everything published ANYTIME during 1929 is in the PD.

Second, I like to read articles on https://publicdomainreview.org/.

One thing you can try is to upload the movie to YouTube. But I’ve found that their detector is too sensitive, it’ll flag something undoubtedly in the PD as being under copyright.

Am six months away from my four year cycle of a new iPhone. Bit the bullet last night on a current model while the carrier still offering top dollar for trade-in, and there are no tariffs.
