“Iain Forrest was passionately performing for evening rush commuters at the Herald Square subway station when a woman came up behind him and smacked him in the back of his head with his water bottle.

Forrest, a medical student and electric cellist with the stage name Eyeglasses, says the random attack happened at exactly 5:50 p.m. on Feb. 13 and it was all caught on video. His assaulter appeared to be leaning on a column at the 34th Street station while looking at her phone when she suddenly put the device in her tote bag, marched behind Forrest, grabbed his metal water bottle and forcefully struck him.”

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Rogers Waters’ savage takedown of Bono’s pro-war propaganda.”

“Vice.com is no more. The site is officially shutting down immediately, with Vice pivoting to become a “content studio” instead of a news organization. Or something. This leaves HUNDREDS more journalists without work. And it’s only February…

Additional Context:
Vice’s struggle is not isolated. The industry has seen a trend of layoffs and closures, with Vice Media laying off over 100 employees and shutting down its Vice World News brand as part of its restructuring efforts. These moves are reflective of a larger media market adjusting to economic challenges, with several other outlets experiencing similar layoffs​​.

This situation raises critical questions about the future of digital media and journalism. As Vice transitions towards a potential new ownership and operational model, the industry watches closely to see how this might influence content creation, distribution, and the viability of digital media platforms as a whole.”

Some asshole keeps stealing content from other people…I’ve watched in good faith three or four times in the past, put together a post…and found the video deleted for copyright infringement, before I even got the post published…

…This looks to be another instance of the same thing…So, I wont dilly dally…

This will almost certainly disappear…

…The asshole behind this is pissing me off…Their content somehow keeps getting into the algorithm.
