It compresses information wonderfully, so it&#39;s inconceivable that a video could ever replace a good academic book.<br/><br/>Also, the ease of jumping in and out at any point, and bookmarking points, is much better than with video.<br/><br/>The irony is that - aside from the lower cost of production - novels are the genre of book where film &amp; video most often equals and maybe surpasses text. 2025-01-23T23:11:37Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs83se2fh03rf7hzsnhfgp8t4zl9whf7fcnkljpapn6pk8sv0txmjczyrshnfddjzpqtezqlz6hkxq6d6lap0prjzdnp4r35kucfauf6tqt6nfmn3c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsge82wrp63y704ad0sy5n6u8fyv7k7xs2nryl9ny8zgy2z0hwedys64w0nt'>nevent1q…w0nt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This is kind of a silly talking point, as novels are hardly the only kind of book.<br/><br/>You could also argue that women aren&#39;t reading much nonfiction about world war 2, or sports biographies, but what would be the point? 2025-01-23T22:08:38Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs00c92w4ns8kd7degvvaec5alv554lmw2qlj2umpfssutjpjg90sszyrshnfddjzpqtezqlz6hkxq6d6lap0prjzdnp4r35kucfauf6tqt6y7cy87 Election thoughts #4 of 3:<br/><br/>The abortion referendums may have backfired. The plan was to boost turnout by women who would naturally vote against Trump.<br/><br/>But it may have made pro-abortion women feel safe in voting for #trump since their reproductive choices were protected by state constitutions. Trump&#39;s &#34;leaving it to the states&#34; BS enabled selfish swing state women to throw their red state sisters under the bus. 2024-11-10T03:15:54Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqsrcc0nx6gf48h5yq3kryjj5vmq6304xxrznyj9unxmxlyrjnx2gzyrshnfddjzpqtezqlz6hkxq6d6lap0prjzdnp4r35kucfauf6tqt69duy59 Shock poll: Harris grabs last-minute Iowa lead over Trump in The state&#39;s &#34;gold-standard&#34; poll<br/><br/><a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/11/03/harris-iowa-poll-trump-women">https://www.axios.com/2024/11/03/harris-iowa-poll-trump-women</a><br/><br/>#Election2024 #trump #kamalaharris 2024-11-03T05:09:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd2ll28wx8gxdr7qhjl8l4re5avj5tcvqw0q8tw8gudgy8m25vv6gzyrshnfddjzpqtezqlz6hkxq6d6lap0prjzdnp4r35kucfauf6tqt6jsf0qz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstxnrkjpku4cjx4vpzgrvh5whckq5snpnt8jsmswus7cjy95hwf6g6af77m'>nevent1q…f77m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ha!
