From the interwebz:
As we just learned when the Bald Vampire stepped down from Amazon he just went on to be a douche somewhere else so there’s no net reduction in fuckery from these gigantic pieces of shit.
I’ve read that Zuckerberg wants to run these here United States of Amerka — I don’t know how the Trumpy white nationalist crowd would feel about a Jew as the Big Kahuna but you never know, they’re not known for being very bright.
The sad part is how young Zuckerberg is — he looks set to be a millstone around the neck of America for decades to come. Unless we get lucky with an earthquake or a plane crash.
@@@ Pom Pom Squad: Death of a Cheerleader (City Slang, 2021) Some pretty rote power pop punk I got to via Vice’s best albums of 2021 thus far. Crunchy guitars, female singer with a droll delivery and a whole lotta vocal melodies. The third track, Crying, is supposed to be the clearest example of its genius combining a string, orchestral opening that gives way to the aforementioned power pop punk formula. The two styles aren’t integrated so it’s weird to me as it’s just a brief string opening that segues. WTF? It’s perfectly serviceable in what it does but I’m not a huge fan of the singer’s delivery. So solid B. Some PR douche got this record on the list.
@@@ Deem Spencer: Deem’s Tape (The Flower Shop, 2021) Also off a Vice list but hip hop this time. I’m digging Spencer’s bouncy slightly against the grain delivery over some tasty keyboard vamping. The dreaminess continues in the second tune but you get a chill beat and if I’m not mistaken he’s going for a lofi bedroom/hip hop thing and is pulling it off for the most part. His flow on the mic is sloppy and relentless, that’s how I would characterize it. I really like the front of the record is outstanding but it fades a little bit as it moves through the list of tunes but I could be wrong and I’m going to check this record out more when I get a chance.

From Business Insider:
Looks like Biden might get an Oscar this year for best actor in a society that’s rapidly turning to shit.
Here we have a politician who has spent the vast majority of his career making the lives or ordinary Americans more difficult.
And no he’s tired of it?
I don’t buy this.
@@@ DijahSB: New Balance (DijahSB, 2021) First two listens today off music publicist emails. Very stylish sounds here, some of the finest synth sounds to be found out there can be found in hip hop. Really impressive, almost three dimensional pulsating synths. Beats here are not trap which really changes the vibe and is refreshing to my ears. Two female MCs on about I’m not sure, as I thought originally it was gonna be about sneakers but it doesn’t appear to be about sneakers. I’m not sure how important it is to know what the lyrics are about if they’re purposely not presented in a way easily digested. The rhyming and tone is tight, minimal and funky. Very good track.
@@@ Boom Bap Project: Deion Sanders (Self-released, 2021) Oh this is a very different type of hip hop track with retro beats, rhymes and epic rock feels personified by big guitar riffs. I like the droning high synth barely audible in the verses and I don’t like the guitar parts. Beats are cool, the MCs are all right. I’m agnostic on Deion Sanders, I have nothing against the brother nor do I worship him and his flow. It’s all right, the track that is.
From the Twatter:
Yowsa, these douchebags at Facebook are really scraping the bottom of the barrel on this issue!
Imagine being that vaccinated piece of shit Mark Zuckerberg making money off this issue, I don’t know how this garbage sleeps at night.

From CNBC (I think):
Is this not paid access?
Just because he did it publicly and he’s the richest man in the world does this mean it’s not a bribe?
