“State prosecutors add video-sharing platform to their investigation into social media’s psychological effects on young users

WASHINGTON—A coalition of state attorneys general is launching an investigation into TikTok, seeking information about whether and how the video-sharing platform contributes to online harms to children.”

Yes…because “everything harms children”, these days.

Sad, hard reality is…a lot of those “children” are the exact same a-holes, bullying each other.

…But, of course…this will become a nebulous excuse to further censor the internet…strangling nearly everybodies voice, even when they have nothing to do with the a-hole bullying.

As always…you will be punished for things you’re not even involved in, or responsible for.

…This is their “brave new world”…a world that cannot survive diversity in voices.

“Performing as the group Tears for Fears, English pop rockers Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith had hits in the 1980s with such songs as “Shout” and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” But after an acrimonious split in 1991, the two didn’t speak to one another for nine years. They have since reunited, and are about to release Tears for Fears’ first album in 17 years, “The Tipping Point.” Correspondent Tracy Smith sits down with Orzabal and Smith – soon to embark on a U.S. tour – to find out how their musical collaboration helped heal a personal tragedy.”

Dr. Oz Challenges Fauci & Twitter Pounces!…

“TV celebrity and GOP Senatorial candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz has been a severe critic of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, and recently tweeted a reminder that he’d challenged Fauci to a debate but received no response. He did, however, get a response from Twitter, which exploded with mockery intimating that Dr. Oz is not in Fauci’s league, and that the NIAID director doesn’t owe the sometime diet pill peddler the time of day.

Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the Twitter wiseacres’ ripostes at Dr. Oz’s expense.”

“Donald Trump’s “Truth Social” platform has only been online for a week, and they’ve already been hit with problem after problem. The latest scandal to rock the platform was revealed this past weekend, when it was reported that the site was creating official-looking accounts for prominent media outlets. The goal was to make it look like REAL media outlets wanted to be a part of the site, but that fell apart very quickly. Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

New Music Is Faltering – And I’m Loving It…

“Classic rock has officially overtaken new music in terms of sales and that trend is growing. An article by Ted Gioia in the Atlantic explains the issues the current music making industry is facing and Matt delves into some of them here on Pop Goes the 60s.

Is Old Music Killing New Music? Article by Ted Gioia:
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/01/old-music-killing-new-music/621339/

Good, even great, “computer music” can be made…I think most people just aren’t that good at it.

“Human” music, with the hands directly on the instrument, will always be better…so long as the musician can actually play.

What I really don’t like, is when they take old hits and try to remake them by the formula of today…There’s an Elton John medley currently being rammed down our throats…and while I love the original songs…this end product is the laziest, most pathetic thing of cringe…

Why don’t they just play the original songs and vastly improve the quality of their radio station, instead of sullying our perception of great music?

I don’t think Elton John even cared enough to get back into the recording studio, and make this a proper duet…They just sampled his existing recordings.

It’s very sad that Elton is enabling this sort of garbage.

Spotify’s Joe Rogan and comedian Akaash Singh mock child sex abuse and claim it’s “fine” for boys to have sex with adult women…

…. Many of the things expressed in this Sub-Blog, I’ve addressed any number of times over the years. I don’t wish to analyze every video, etc., but I do find it valuable to share these kinds of video, etc., even if I disagree substantially with any of it…It’s important to acknowledge and embrace, that there are people out there, who are engaged in levelheaded discussion about “pedophiles”. – Steve

“Joe Rogan: “If it’s a 15-year-old boy and a 30-year-old lady. … You don’t feel bad at all.”

[…]

On the February 8 edition of his Spotify podcast, host Joe Rogan and guest Akaash Singh mocked accounts of children being raped, with Rogan asserting that when it comes to boys sexually assaulted by adult women: “You don’t feel bad at all. … He’s fine. Even 13, he’s going to be fine if he’s got a good dad. You’re going to be fine, kid, keep moving. Walk it off.”

[…]

During the episode, Rogan said that when boys have sex with adult women “it depends on what the woman looks like,” and added, “If someone is gross then it’s not good.” Singh then stated that Mary Kay Letourneau, a teacher who raped her sixth grade student in 1996, was “not that bad looking.”

I’m all for mocking the sex abuse industry…but there’s a lot of ignorance mixed in there [possibly for comedy], too.

Pedophilia, hebephilia and ephebophilia have nothing to do with arrested development.

Why are we still trapped in the dark age of sexuality?…At this point, there is simply no excuse for this type of lingering ignorance.

CDC REFUSES To Release Covid Booster Data…

Date: March 01, 2022

01) LINK


“The CDC has accumulated data about the effectiveness of boosters, but has opted not to make the information public because reasons. More specifically, officials say the data is not “ready for prime time,” whatever that means, and that they fear release of the data will lead to possible “misinterpretation.”

Jimmy provides informed speculation about just why the CDC might REALLY not want to release the data.”
