Crosby, Stills & Nash have ended the protest they began against Spotify five months ago over the streaming service’s deal with podcast king Joe Rogan.
The aging harmony rockers’ music returned to Spotify July 2, according to Billboard. They had pulled their catalog in solidarity with erstwhile member Neil Young, who was upset at Rogan’s penchant for interviewing guests with different points of view on COVID.
‘Shame on those responsible’: Float in Sundre, Alta. rodeo parade called out as racist
I see representations of Trudeau and Singh on a manure spreader labeled The Liberal. That’s not racist. That’s an accurate depiction of the LPC.
Erected in 1907, Richmond’s historic statue of Jefferson Davis was destroyed in 2020 by the Black Lives Matter rioters who besieged the city; burning businesses, museums, and homes, even killing a little girl in the name of left-wing racial justice. Along with other statues and artifacts, what remains of the monument to Jefferson Davis was given by Democrat officials to the far-left Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, to be shown off as a trophy in the left’s war on White America.
‘New Day’? Renaming of Canada Day events in Winnipeg sparks controversy
“We are reimagining a Canada Day, a new day, that includes a reflective, inclusive and fun day for everyone to come together,” says an events notice on The Forks’ website.
The celebrations, which news reports have said will be called “New Day,” will feature “spaces for healing, with Indigenous-led music, dance, and sacred fires,” food trucks and picnic spots, “family-friendly, multicultural entertainment,” including Indigenous games, a chalk and bubble station and an oral history tour with Indigenous elders.
Students want more restrictions on free speech and safe spaces on campus compared with six years ago, a survey suggests.
It reveals that far more undergraduates want to be protected from difficult viewpoints and see certain groups or issues banned from discussion.
Universities should set out explanations of “academic norms” to new students in freshers’ week, the report from the Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) recommends. It also suggest that institutions should be careful not to invite too many controversial or inflammatory speakers.
While this is a UK survey I feel certain the same would hold true in North America. You have to wonder at the quality of education provided these young geniuses and whether it’s worth society’s continued investment.
Joe Rogan said that Fox News and conservative media outlets were the only ones that supported him when he faced accusations of spreading vaccine misinformation earlier this year.
‘They had my back through it,’ Rogan, 54, said. ‘It was Fox News that had my f*****g back.’
Speaking on Tuesday’s episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan lamented that he felt Democrats had abandoned free speech and openness to other people’s ideas.
Famous author Uwe Telkamp is cancelled for saying that most Muslim migrants are not fleeing persecution but looking for social welfare.
“I have to justify even being German, to dare to refer to Goethe. Suddenly, you are like a pariah.” This is how Uwe Tellkamp speaks at the Süddeutsche Zeitung. His is the cultural case of recent years.
Not only because in 2008 Tellkamp published the great novel “The Tower”, which sold over a million copies and describes the last years of the German Democratic Republic through the educated middle class of Dresden. It has won numerous literary awards and has been celebrated by all feuilletons and literary critics.
Gender ideologues are the real bullies
The curse of the literal-minded strikes again. This time it’s Ricky Gervais’s new stand-up special SuperNature which has sent the congenitally humourless into conniptions. Predictably, Pink News led the charge with a report that disapprovingly quotes the most offending lines. The effect is not dissimilar to Mary Whitehouse reading aloud the contents of an erotic novel; few are likely to be aroused.
Controversial comic Ricky Gervais is in hot water online yet again, this time over a series of perceived anti-trans jokes featured in his just-released Netflix special “Supernature.” The “Office” creator’s name was trending on Twitter Tuesday as the LGBTQ community urges viewers to boycott the special — with some folks vowing to cancel their Netflix subscriptions.
“I love the new women,” Gervais snarks in the special, which has only been on the streaming platform for several hours as of Tuesday morning. “They’re great, aren’t they? The new ones we’ve been seeing lately. The ones with beards and c–ks. They’re as good as gold, I love them.”
My prediction – a mass shooting by an unhinged tranny.
A UK art professor whose livelihood was thrust into doubt after she lost her accreditation following innocent remarks about Meghan Markle is fighting back, taking legal action claiming a breach of contract by a national arts organization.
Dr. Anne Anderson who is an honorary professor at the esteemed Exeter University was thrust into a living hell after she made comments about the Duchess of Sussex prior to a Zoom lecture on IKEA furniture last year during small-talk about Markle and her emasculated husband Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, words that would be used to smear her as a racist and cut off a major source of her income.
Why does the left hate Elon Musk?
It’s simple, really: Because he can’t be controlled, and because he doesn’t tolerate BS.
The left can’t stand either. It insists on control, to the point of systematically eliminating or co-opting anything that might serve as an independent power center. (Their fear is justified: “Music clubs” turned out to be a major factor in Czechoslovakia’s 1989 anticommunist Velvet Revolution.) And it insists on not merely spreading BS, but on requiring people to repeat and endorse its BS as a sign of submission.
Some are calling attention to a comment Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre made while appearing as a guest on controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson’s podcast in an episode posted on Tuesday.
“I’m a believer in using simple Anglo-Saxon words that strike right at the the meaning that I’m trying to convey,” Poilievre said in the interview. “And so I say things that people say, ‘Yeah, that actually makes sense.’”
Some have pointed out that the term has been used by those on the far-right to differentiate white people from immigrants and people of colour.
OMG! He said Anglo-Saxon! The best thing he can do is laugh in response and never apologize.
I’m thrilled that Tucker Carlson isn’t doing the usual right-wing thing and crumpling in the face of bad-faith attacks from the media and Democrats. Watch this 15-minute monologue from him last night, throwing the “Great Replacement” smears back in their faces.
Early in the monologue, Carlson points out that last year, a Syrian immigrant shooter went into a Boulder, Colo., supermarket and allegedly (he has not yet been tried and found guilty) murdered ten people — same number of dead as in Buffalo. Unlike this week in Buffalo, Joe Biden didn’t fly to that crime scene, Tucker said. Why not? Because that mass shooting didn’t fit the Narrative. He was a Person of Color, not a white supremacist. Colorado Public Radio even did a story at the time about how worried Colorado Muslims were of “backlash” because the shooter was Muslim. The Washington Post ran an analysis that pointed out that the Syrian shooter was, in fact, legally white, and an example of “whiteness”. So the Narrative Managers were able to call this an example of white male violence after all!
Some of the most high-profile liberal figures have joined together to encourage advertisers to boycott Twitter if Elon Musk brings in his promised policy of unfettered ‘free speech.’
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics are a kind of social credit system designed to coerce businesses—and, by extension, individuals and all of society—to transform their practices.
Through a carrot-and-stick approach, investors and banks (and soon governments) use ESG to push businesses to change how they function, regardless of what the employees and customers of those businesses want. In many cases, however, corporate executives are all too willing to go along, because they want access to the cheap capital offered by investors and financial institutions.
