Damn! You do fine work! Your insights are still dead on, and eerily current. My favorite phrase: the unedited raw feed of history. Mark Twain was right about history rhyming.

Thanks and appreciated. I’m truly interested in how others digest this, 20 years on.

For me, it's still pretty powerful and fresh; but that might be because I'm working to pivot into nonprofit work that will involve comms in some way.

Perhaps the only thing that's different is with the proliferation of social media channels, the signal:noise ratio has gotten much worse. What do you think?

Yes and no. The routine and mundane may be more ignored because of all of the flotsam and jetsam on the web, but the sensational still spreads like a virus.
