CelloGayageum

From the description of the below videos:
CelloGayageum is a duet of Austrian cellist Sol Daniel Kim and Korean gayageum player Yoon Da-young. Founded in Berlin, Germany in 2016, the two pursue an extraordinary collaboration between East and West, featuring the two similar yet different instruments.

I like how the two instruments sound together. The music feels relaxing to me, neither happy nor sad.

On the Youtube playback page, these 3 videos have a neat "360 degree" feature that lets you move the viewpoint to look in any direction. (Oh wow, it even works in the embed!)

Fox "News"

I've had a realization, after many times noticing how Fox News in almost every "news" story bashes (and/or subtly or not-so-subtly puts down) Democrats and liberals - even when Republicans are/were in charge of the government.

Fox News isn't only a channel geared towards Republicans and conservatives. Its intention is to sway and convince people to *vote* (and keep voting) for Republicans and conservatives.

If you are a very wealthy conservative Republican, how can you influence elections in a democracy? Among other things, you can give money to candidates and PACs, and you can fund advertising in hopes of swaying the electorate.

Fox News is basically an on-going 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week political advertisement, designed to convince and keep people voting for Republicans (or whoever they choose to laud on their shows) and against Democrats. It is only disguised as a "news" channel.

Perhaps that is obvious, and perhaps it has been apparent to me in the background of my mind before. But in general I try to pay as little attention to Fox News as possible because of how much it upsets me when I do pay it attention.

Wonder Years

I remember enjoying the original "Wonder Years" television show. I haven't had time to watch much of the new series till now. But I just watched 3 episodes, and I think it's been making me laugh as much the original series probably did.
