This has been running on our TV lately…
Well, not this particular episode, but others… 
The whole “Sovereign Citizen” movement is ridiculous. I know it’s happening in several countries, but here in the States, it’s getting much more prevalent.
Speaking of “Sovereign”, I can’t wait to see this!

Oh life was so simple then when there were only Kradashev scales that could be counted in a single hand. Now this proliferation and sub categorization is going wild
watching is not reading unless what you are watching requires reading what you are watching 
Reading requires more brain engagement and imagination, as you visualize scenes and characters based on the text, while watching is a more passive activity that provides visual and auditory information directly. Both activities offer benefits, but reading is often linked to better cognitive function and stress reduction.
Key Differences Between Watching and Reading
Cognitive Engagement
| Aspect | Reading | Watching TV |
|---|---|---|
| Brain Activity | Requires imagination and creativity | More passive, less mental effort |
| Focus | Engages attention on text | Visual and auditory stimuli dominate |
| Learning Style | Enhances vocabulary and comprehension | Primarily visual learning |
Health Benefits
| Benefit | Reading | Watching TV |
|---|---|---|
| Stress Reduction | Lowers heart rate, relaxes muscles | Can also relieve stress, but less effectively |
| Cognitive Function | Improves memory and may prevent cognitive decline | Limited cognitive engagement |
| Physical Activity | Encourages active engagement | Sedentary activity |
Social Interaction
| Aspect | Reading | Watching TV |
|---|---|---|
| Social Experience | Often solitary, can be shared through book clubs | Commonly a social activity |
| Discussion Potential | Stimulates deeper conversations | Often surface-level discussions |
Time Investment
| Aspect | Reading | Watching TV |
|---|---|---|
| Time Commitment | Can vary, often longer per session | Typically shorter, binge-watching possible |
| Flexibility | Can be paused and resumed easily | May require more continuous attention |
Reading generally promotes deeper cognitive engagement and offers various health benefits, while watching TV provides entertainment and social interaction but can lead to more passive consumption. All that being said, the title of this thread is, “What are you watching”. What you are reading is a bit off topic.
AI generated? Before I read and put some thought on your assessment I’d like to know if I should read it passively or actively.
Peppa pig, this is what my daughters are watching too “daily” 
Similar to melodysheep channel. Sc-Fi documentaries in longer format, love it. Thanks for sharing. (Though melodysheep provides original visuals, not taken from movies). High quality original Visuals+Music are costly and impossible for smaller channels.

I can tell yous what I’m NOT watching. 
The Room?
Excellent to fall asleep to. 
Thought that I had lost this classic for good, but found it laying in another DVD’s box.
