The Imperfects
Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

Is Jim Carrey the real Jim Carrey or is it a clone?

The Imperfects
Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

It seems like he's had some cosmetic surgery done and he appeared at like an awards thing and the internet went into a frenzy.

The Imperfects
Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

And the common assumption was, oh, well.

The Imperfects
Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

He's a clone.

The Imperfects
Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

Not that he's followed a history of people getting plastic surgery, but no, clone.

The Imperfects

It's super binary.

But for work, for example... Don't you take my Kindle away from me.

The Imperfects

My experience is with news, these days most of my information comes from YouTube and then a bit of like Instagram, I guess, realistically.

The Imperfects
Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

But I still pay for New York Times and really try to will myself to check the New York Times and look at it as if like, okay, I'm going to look at the New York Times, get my world news from that.

Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

The Imperfects

The Imperfects
Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

Yeah, so I'll end up going to YouTube to see what's going on.

The Imperfects

And, of course, I'm getting like...

And objectively, well, intellectually, I guess, I know that that is an unhealthy and potentially biased view of the world, and I'm definitely not getting all the information.

The Imperfects
Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

But I also know that I'm not going to read the whole New York Times.

The Imperfects
Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

I'm not going to read long articles because I just do not have the attention span or really, to be honest, and it's kind of embarrassing, but I'll want to read that much text.

The Imperfects

But I maintain my subscription because I kind of feel like I'm kind of offsetting the fact that I'll just like watch 23 minutes of Jon Stewart tell me what to think.
