It's interesting that you start with Gladiator - Roman politics was probably as much 'vibes first, policy second' as you can get. The other thing that came to mind was Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, probably the best book I've read in connection to politics, entertainemtn and media. Great piece as always, I generally enjoy anything that you come up with, excited to see what's next!

That's a great recommendation, I'll definitely give it a read :) Is there anything that I could be doing differently to make the blog better? :)
Honestly, I just like how things are now! But if something pops into my mind, I won't hesitate to let you know!
