Because a left-winger who advocates for physical violence against conservatives complained about being made fun of, YouTube has demonetized a slew of non-leftist channels using vague handwavy appeals to mysterious rules. Basically, they bent the knee to a modern fascist, and created yet another argument for people to bail from YouTube and find an alternate platform that’s much more sane and stable.

YouTube ends monetization of conservative commentator Steven Crowder’s channel after left-wing outrage

And this was *after* Crowder issued an apology:

There’s an election coming up in 2020. I suspect we’ll see a whole lot more demonitization and deplatforming of right wing/conservative content before then.

Super Happy Fun America

These people are *clearly* trolling the SJWs with their call for a “Straight pride Parade” in Boston. Additionally they’re calling for raising the “Straight Pride Flag” over city hall, a flag that “has represented our community for over 0.4 years.” Even the most casual examination of the website makes it pretty clear that this is a gag. But predictably the SJWs, having no sense of humor nor the ability to even process the concept, have lost their tiny little Twitter-addled minds.

The event is free and open to the public. All are welcome. Antifa (short for Anti-Fun) is not welcome because they oppose happiness and fun.

Snerk. Well, they’re not wrong.

This looks…interesting. There seems to be a whole lot in here, and a lot of it doesn’t seem to make sense. It’s clearly set a good deal of time in the future, but a lot of the engineering looks like it’s from the 60’s. The “space station” at the beginning is either hanging at the end of a space elevator at the upper reaches of the atmosphere or it’s violating the laws of physics.

If you’re a 74 year old woman who gets injured hiking on an Arizona mountain in 100-degree heat, you might think twice before calling up this helicopter rescue crew. Yikes.

I just can’t tell no mo.

That’s just… I dunno, man.

With luck this is not only real… but she’ll be met with a barrage of appropriate and relevant questions by people who aren’t buying her BS.

“For All Mankind”

Ron Moore, he of “Deep Space Nine” and “Battlestar Gallactica” fame, is coming out with another new series that looks pretty fantastic:  “For All Mankind.” It’s an alternate history show where the Soviets make it to the Moon before Apollo… and as a result, the US doubles-down and, seemingly, goes for the “let’s conquer the whole damn universe” approach.

Downside: it’ll be on Apple TV+, yet another streaming service I ain’t gonna pay for.

I have often wondered if the Soviets succeeding would have led to the US either expanding Saturn/Apollo, or just giving up.For Apollo to have gone on to greater things, I suspect history would have required a different, better President than LBJ who squandered Apollo in favor of micromanaging Viet Nam and in bloating the budget with the Great Society programs.
