But Michael John Burkett, the NOFX frontman known as Fat Mike, who is also a partner in Fat Wreck Chords, says the current political atmosphere has had a chilling effect on the genre. “How politics are right now, it’s not good for punk rock,” he says. “A lot of bands are scared because of Trump and his followers. They love to hate and take revenge.”

No, just came up in the feed of a movie site I subscribe to, thought it might be of interest to someone here.

Do not do an image search for “President Trump’s hot streak”.

A few years ago, the UK Justice Minister called for a ban on the sale of tiny, lipstick-sized mobile phones that came with a voice-changing function built in. (Article) They were being smuggled into prisons and the convicts were using them to commit crimes from the inside, including making intimidating phone calls to witnesses etc.

What a sad day that would be for legitimate rectally-insertable, voice-changing cellphone enthusiasts!

Someone should do this for members of the Fraternal Order of Police.

And it’s already St. Patrick’s Day-themed!

It’s only July but we’re already complaining about Eternal September.

YES!

Banging tune! Banging message!

Are you trying to bait Chuck Tingle fans?

Great overview!

One typo?

For example, any and many were spelled based on one dialect, but spelled based on another dialect instead of the also current spellings eny, meny.

I think one of those “spelled” should be “pronounced”.

Thanks!

You cannot be therious!

The only criticism of the PRC they’ll accept?

I’m also interested. Every now and then, I try to find one.

The last time I think it was Fasto TV Lite from this list:

• https://github.com/iptv-org/awesome-iptv?tab=readme-ov-file#android

But IIRC it just would not go full screen (you need to buy the full version for that I think) and I soon uninstalled it.

And the last time I tried IPTVnator on Android, it couldn’t handle a large playlist, like IPTV-org.

ATM I’m using a proprietary app, Televizo, or the website https://tv.garden/ .

Oh cool! Now men have Cosmo quizzes, too!

You’re welcome :)

A great app. I use the (FLOSS) LibRedirect browser extension to automatically send YouTube links to FreeTube.

Interesting read, thanks.

Me, too.

1. “Boelter helped lead the private security firm Praetorian Guard Security Services”. Frankly, anyone who names a “security” company after the Praetorian Guard should be preemptively arrested.

2. Web site still up at time of writing.

Dr. Vance Boelter has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on the ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. Military. He has worked for the largest U.S. oil refining company, the world’s largest food company based in Switzerland and the world’s largest convenience retailer based in Japan.

Yeah, so he’s saying he worked at a 7-11?

A Rigorous Mathematical Deconstruction of the Hypothesized Causal Link Between Vaccines and Autism Spectrum Disorders

Abstract

This paper provides an exhaustive and incontrovertible mathematical framework establishing the causative relationship between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Employing avant-garde statistical pseudo-logic, nonlinear pseudoscience, and hyperbolic integrals, we derive novel equations that not only confirm but quantify the absurdly subtle mechanisms by which vaccines trigger ASD. Our findings challenge the prevailing dogma of evidence-based medicine by introducing the groundbreaking concept of “Vax-induced Neuro-Synapticality” (VINS) and its inverse correlation with
common sense. This work, at the intersection of quantum conjecture and wishful thinking, paves the way for future “research” in vaccine skepticism with impeccable rigor.
