@Minholkin Happy to be back Home! It was torture! Felt...homeless🤷♀️😂
@Gramdma2011 eek! That bad?
@Lindy Lol...I have been spoiled by CoSo...watching news w/out Cosonauts' analysis is like...🤔reading Shakespeare with no Cliff Notes to aid in deciphering the jumble & meaning of plots
That's rather unfair to Shakespeare. He at least makes sense once you know what his words mean.
@misterfive @Lindy That's what I was saying. Having only the option of watching the News & not seeing CoSo's reactions & thoughts about it is like reading Shakespeare (whom I love❤️) without someone explaining it. Cliff Notes are like Cosonauts who help the News make sense to me: I know some w/the Notes just wanted to pass a class w/out actually reading an entire work. I used them to understand the heart & plot of his Works. He can be quite frustrating to read. And CoSo is better than news❤️
Oh, I wasn't actually thinking you were dissing the Bard so much as giving way too much credit to the newscasters.CoSo doesn't so much explain them as give you what information they should've said in the first place
@misterfive @Lindy Yeah that's it; the story behind the story is usually here! Heck, the actual story is usually here first anyway! I missed that achingly!
@misterfive @Lindy 🤣 Getting old; should have mentioned that I saw many of Shakespeare's plays & attended festivals because as a kid & teenager, I grew up @ 5 minutes from here:

@misterfive @Lindy High School & College delved into more complex Works. You have to really immerse yourself into the character sometimes to understand the words!
I'm the "Exactly what are you saying, concisely, in plain & simple English" kind of person. Tell me the point, then I can read with understanding. Quite a few I can understand as I read, but some... oh oh oh; gotta read about it first🤷♀️😂
:D I always love finding out someone is a fellow Bard lover.
I grew up with lots of Shakespeare too. No one should ever read Shakespeare anyway, he's so much better performed than read.
News folks these days are much the opposite. They should present and not perform, and need to be way less into staging a drama. But that's what gets the ad money....
@misterfive @Lindy Yes, watching a Shakespeare play is better than trying to read it!
