Cancelled Embrace Hollywood Frankly, My Dear Media The Tolerant Left 30 Comments

As someone who could never stand Stephen Colbert’s overtly partisan, sanctimonious political cheerleading for more than a couple of seconds, I don’t think that any new void is being created by his departure; there was nothing but a void to begin with.

Among those sorry to see Colbert go is astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, a frequent guest. Johnny Carson used to book scientists, but Tyson notes wryly that not many TV hosts do these days.

Brehm saw Colbert make himself into a sort of moral authority and lean into the social justice camp of progressive Catholics: “He is playing up that moral quality by standing up for American moral values like freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and he’s doing it with a Catholic jargon, with Catholic language.”

I assume his political and cultural views are pretty similar to his old man’s, so I’m surprised he didn’t cancel the US tour out of spite. I had no idea he even had musical talent in the first place, and even if I did I doubt I’d be rushing to get show tickets.

Kiefer Sutherland is the latest artist to be struck down by the so-called ‘Blue Dot Fever,’ cancelling his upcoming U.S. tour over poor ticket sales.

Sutherland has been playing shows overseas in support of his new album, Grey, and posting videos documenting his experience to social media.

I asked Grok the following question:

Putting yourself in the shoes of a Canadian with conservative views, speculate on some scenarios that might cause prosecution of such a person for something they might say, write, or do under Bills C-9 and C-12.

Here’s how it responded. I personally believe that professional activists are going to use these bills to shut down any speech they disagree with. Plus, anyone in any protected group will be able to say anything they wish, knowing they’ll never be prosecuted.

In my digital calendar, I denote all sorts of important events – births, deaths, historical events, etc. On March 6, 2019, one of the most important Joe Rogan podcasts ever occurred: Joe Rogan Experience #1258 – Jack Dorsey, Vijaya Gadde & Tim Pool. Here’s a summary of what occurred.

The following is entirely my opinion, but this video is proof positive that Vijaya Gadde was absolutely one of the worst people in the world at that time. Since then, we’ve witnessed other tyrants like Thierry Breton of the EU and a bunch of anti-free speech zealots in Canada, the UK, and Germany, but she was clearly a pioneer in this arena.

Embrace Hollywood!

Democrats Embrace Hollywood Frankly, My Dear 3 Comments

“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.” – Michael Moore

I’ll admit, I missed big by predicting something “delightfully sordid.” Instead, we got something unpleasantly sordid: The final nail in the coffin for the Netflix bid [for Warner Bros] was almost certainly board member Susan Rice’s ill-timed appearance on a podcast hosted by Preet Bharara on February 20, where she promised “accountability” for Trump administration wrongdoers once the Democrats took office. This was interpreted by MAGA’s most agitated online voices as a promise of lawfare against the administration — the irony of complaining about this is apparently completely lost upon them — and led to Laura Loomer loudly demanding the former national security adviser resign her position on the board of Netflix.

Since Loomer has Trump’s ear, that meant that Trump himself began to instantly parrot Loomer’s line, demanding Rice resign from Netflix or “pay the consequences.” That put Netflix in an impossible position — they were not going to earn the eternal wrath of progressives by caving to Trump and firing Rice, not for a bid they were going to have extreme difficulty getting Trump’s approval on anyway. So they have bowed to the inevitable and cut their losses.

Keir Starmer’s Britain

Freespeechers Great Moments In Socialism 5 Comments

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and the Magna Carta is a bird cage liner.

In a recent interview, Cleese observed that the government’s new speech standards would classify many citizens, including himself, as presumptive criminals for criticizing certain policies. He observed that ”As I am an Islamosceptic, I’m now worried that the Labour government may categorise me as a terrorist…”

The government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer has continued its headlong plunge into the criminalization of speech. The guidelines include a section on cultural nationalism, stating that such views are now the subject of government crackdowns. To even argue that Western culture is under threat from mass migration or a lack of integration by certain groups is being treated as a dangerous ideology.

Cleese responded by saying, “I’m clearly a terrorist, so I’m afraid they are going to have to arrest me.”

The tragedy is that this is no wicked Monty Python joke. Cleese has every reason to be concerned.
