The business conference I attended two weeks ago said the entire Internet is going video: no one reads any more or, if they do, they won't be shortly. In order to get your content noticed, it must be on video. So, with dread, I bought video-editing software last Sunday and started working on cobbling together something, video-wise, for The Weekly Eudemon. There's a learning curve, to be sure. My first effort is pasted below or you can click [this link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOj-eefAvr0&t=249s&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). It's awful, but if you really like something, anything, visual when you listen to a presentation, there's stuff there. I fully expect to get better at this as time goes on. We'll see.

I'm really digging my Spotify subscription. Yesterday, I found an entire playlist devoted to Bossa Nova Christmas music. It's some of the mellowest holiday music you'll find without being borderline morbid. It relaxes me as fast as a stiff vodka tonic.

Thaddeus Russell makes an interesting argument in [this podcast](http://www.thaddeusrussell.com/podcast/72?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). He argues that Google, Facebook, and Twitter have become, through subsidies funded by taxpayers, huge propaganda arms of the federal government and, therefore, shouldn't be exempt from First Amendment restrictions. I don't know if he's right, but I suspect he's onto something. The legal test, btw, is a thing called "state actor." Is the organization or person in question, in effect, a "state actor."
