That's because they gave you a godly numbers of channels and got you off of PBS that's how it's obvious. Obviously not you personally and definitely not me cuz I remember that I actually enjoyed that and not just as a child but as an adult
Never missed an episode! In 1995, we hosted Bob Dorough at an In-Store appearance at our vintage toy shop, "Out of Our Heads!" in which, he sang 3 songs from the show. He performed A Cappella versions of "3 Is a Magic Number", "Get Your Adverbs" and "I'm Just a Bill". Ironic, isn't it?
A dipshit on Facebook complained on the White House page that Biden waited too late in his term to sign the Social Security Fairness Act. Like he’s king and could do it without Congress, which was working on it for YEARS. This is why people cheerfully elect a would-be dictator.
i was called pedantic for pointing out that less is for uncountable nouns and fewer is for countable nouns when an ex-teacher complaining about teaching used the term less incorrectly. these are basic standards. imagine if a teacher were to write "I worked much years" and then ppl saying that is ok
The insurrectionist who were busted should have told the judge they were celebrating School House Rocks Birthday,they couldve cured the infection with 1 small injection by simply shouting out interjections🎤 cuz when they showed excitement on J6 they should have showed emotion standing b4 the judge🤣🤜🏾
"Mother Necessity" was one of my favorites as a kid but goddamn was that full of just straight up myths and even fucking disregarding of slavery early on
It would be kind of awkward, but maybe still entertaining, to see how a bill is made now. They would have to be like "So the president, the richest man in the world, unilaterally makes a decision with the person who got the title of president and then congress votes for it or they get a primary!"
Carl Sagan predicted this future. The one we’re living in now. He saw ignorance and misinformation as the key reasons for the failure of our great experiment. I personally thought more of my countrymen. I was wrong. So gullible so easily conned so fearful. So ignorant. So sad.
It’s absolutely absurd how so many Americans revel in their ignorance. You want to hide something from an ignorant American? Put it in a book. They might burn it but their never going to look in it. Asimov knew it long ago. Well it’s reached critical mass.
not me...have hunkering for a hunk of cheese, know how a bill becomes a law and have had a trip through conjunction junction...oh and for the maga's out there I know what a melting pot the US is
Wow. It really hit home then. I remember being jealous of people who had bilingual households. 😄My great grandpa crossed the ocean, went to Canada, changed his name to make it less Italian and then somehow snuck into the US. We found out his story a few years ago. He never spoke of it.
You are correct. I had the preamble memorized by the time I was 8 years old today. Kids think the Constitution's toilet paper and they teach our children and public schools. That that founding fathers were criminals.
That would be, at least in part, because a few years later the Trilateral Commission explicitly said what had been kept on the down-low for years: the greatest threat to American business interests was democracy and an informed electorate preventing the transfer and concentration of wealth & power.
We found out we were never really a “melting pot”. The term “tossed salad” was around for a while because we were more of a mixture of different cultures. And then there was another term also used but I can’t remember right now.
I'm a Gen Xer, and I was just thinking about School House Rock! this morning! Definitely more people should have watched it! I have it on VHS, lol. My favorite is "Conjunction Junction", but "I'm Just a BIll" is a close second.
Half of America is a malfunction. I've promoted this over this entire campaign and still... The next 4 years are going to be insane of how Schoolhouse Rock teachings won't even exist if these bastards have their way.
While many within the media did try to educate us there was a concerted plan from the conservatives to try an undermine all the things that made a progressive society work. And they wound up striking all the supports out from under our society. We are in free fall and the ground is approaching fast.
People just remember the songs sung by jazz artists such as Jack Sheldon, Bob McDorough and Blossom Dearie.
At least some remember those people, if not what they sang about.
I told someone to review this one when they were complaining about how the Social Security Fairness Act is unfair. Only takes 3 minutes to get educated.
I LOVED Saturday mornings when I was a kid. Conjunction Junction, Mr. Bill.... lol. Oh yea, later after the cartoons was Creature Double Feature. Wow! I am old lol.
I think we need to bring a new version back, and put it on Truth Social, and Video Games, and everywhere it can get voter's attention for the next elections!!!! 😁
It was a HUGE part of my growing up. Saturday morning cartoons (watched by us three kids like it was a religious experience) -- with School House Rock.
One question we had on a high school American history test was to write down the preamble to the Constitution word for word. As each of us reached the question on the test, we started humming slightly to ourselves. The teacher was convinced we were cheating, especially when we all got it correct…1/2
I often think about this, captain planet, magic school bus, Bill Nye, & all the shows that were on when I was growing up in the mid-90's to early 00's and wonder how so many people just completely missed the messages. And I also think about how they would not fly and be called "woke" these days.
Well, since most of maga typically is male with their little lady in tow, not to. Stereotype, maybe they just got into Bang Bang. Shoot them up, Call of Duty type video games, and didn't watch the normal educational television shows that most of us grew up with.
As a leftist who enjoys a good Bang Bang Shoot 'em up video game from time to time, I try not to explicitly link violent media to extremist ideals, but I understand your point. I also have seen a growing disdain for being smart, like intellect means you're weak, or elitist, no longer the common man.
I'm old school and I love video games. Started with Nintendo from start. My children had every new system and games, but I think there has to be a balance. My theory is that parents used video games as babysitter. Like TV. It took away from education and learning social skills. Now, social media
Yeah, I definitely agree with that. As a tech enthusiast the amount of kids on social media (tiktok, youtube, w/e.) getting fed insane content via a predatory algorithm is definitely concerning, having access to the entire world good and bad unmonitored is, really dangerous for developing minds.
My daughter is 4 and already knows the 8 multiples and has an obsession with planets bc of “Figure 8” and “Interplanet Janet”. We had to break her heart and tell her that Pluto is not a planet anymore 😅

Kinda gal?
Though listening, it’s processing verbal information and 54% of adults read below a sixth grade level, 20% below a third grade level.
He allows shit like this!
I sometimes do it to torment my kids.
At least some remember those people, if not what they sang about.
Millennials missed it completely
Today people think the US President has a ton more power than the Constitution grants the President.
I’m I had younger siblings but they watched other things.
I did babysit and turned it on for the kids!
I’m just a porkfilled CR!!!
But you also have the entire world’s stupidity at your fingertips too~ and you’re gonna be the only filter…
There’s far more of the latter than the former… filter wisely.
“3 is a magic number”
This should be brought back
“We the pe-ople,
In order to form a more per-fect un-ion…”
What happened on January 6th, 2021, that the post might be referencing? 🤔
😏
And a refresher for anyone who starts a sentence with “Why doesn’t {the President/the Congress/the Senate} just…”
😉
Most things require the full process to go through.
