The degree of caring I’ve been able work up about this is tiny – and yet it’s a big story. So I’ll just link to and quote this on the Zucker affair and why he’s left CNN: A familiar (and … Continue reading →
Now they tell us. Actually, during these COVID years I’ve read several earlier studies questioning the effectiveness of lockdowns. I don’t recall where or when, but it’s been ongoing. However, I had to seek them out; I don’t recall them … Continue reading →
Yes, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell and whoever else has joined their cause have the right to threaten to leave Spotify if the platform doesn’t boycott Joe Rogan. But they would serve their cause better if they just state clearly … Continue reading →
