You know the place.

Today (Dec 30) in #NLMusicHistory... In 1969, The Daily News reviewed a rock concert held at The St. John's Arts & Culture Centre. Participating bands were Rock Pile, The Ambassadors, and LUKEY'S BOAT. The latter seemed to be the audience's favourite. @SeanWMurray @blastybough

Today (Dec 25) in #NLMusicHistory... In 1970, CBC Radio's program schedule for Christmas Day was almost completely filled with programs produced throughout Newfoundland & Labrador! Not so much of that nowadays! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! @CBCNL @sconjin @SeanWMurray

Anthony Fauci called RFK Jr. a liar for stating that not one of the 72 vaccines mandated for children has ever been safety tested*. In response, RFK Jr. took legal action, and after a year of delays, Fauci's lawyers conceded that RFK Jr. had been correct. "There's no downstream liability, there's no front-end safety testing... and there's no marketing and advertising costs, because the federal government is ordering 78 million school kids to take that vaccine every year." "What better product could you have? And so there was a gold rush to add all these new vaccines to the schedule... because if you get onto that schedule, it's a billion dollars a year for your company." "So we got all of these new vaccines, 72 shots, 16 vaccines... And that year, 1989, we saw an explosion in chronic disease in American children... ADHD, sleep disorders, language delays, ASD, autism, Tourette's syndrome, ticks, narcolepsy." "Autism went from one in 10,000 in my generation... to one in every 34 kids today." *in pre-licensing, placebo-controlled trials

I wrote about whether Americans care -- like, actually care -- about democracy

“RFK Jr. is the poster boy for the new Trump administration, a rich man who never has had to worry about a thing in his life, putting the lives of ordinary Americans in jeopardy because he thinks he knows better than scientists” thenation.com/article/archiv…

Users frustrated with Elon Musk’s handling of X and closeness to president-elect Donald Trump are fleeing to Bluesky—an easier migration than leaving the US. wired.trib.al/bHRlSWQ

@JoshTaylorNL Josh if you haven't picked that up yet I can't help you.

@SeanWMurray How is Musk a fascist? That's absurd

There has been a massive migration of #Newfoundland twitter users to blue sky within the past week or two. You'll find me there more and more, here less and less.

@JoshTaylorNL Musk is a fascist who is enabling fascism. I don't want to support that. "Those in control" are the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. Musk is not a threat to them. He is them.

@SeanWMurray I don’t know the platform. Musk seems to be driving people away. His opinions are his own though and the algorithm is open sourced. But, I am boggled by progressives that seek censored enclaves. It’s a show of over confidence in alignment with the values of those in control.

He was detained in 2001 and is the world's longest detained journalist. Dawit Isaak, was given the Swedish human rights Edelstam Prize for his commitment to freedom of expression after being in an Eritrean prison without trial for 23 years. bbc.in/4etbTaM

@ergosum79 @MarietjeSchaake Dorsey resigned from the board of Bluesky a while back.

@MarietjeSchaake Move to a safer social media . Mastodon BlueSky ( but cautions , it’s Dorsey, the ex owner of Twitter that still works with Elon)

The media is the government

Trump has now reaffirmed his plan to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. For the record that department funds, among other things, all the special education and special needs program in public schools and public colleges in all 50 states.

Today (Nov 12) in #NLMusicHistory... In 1986, RUFUS GUINCHARD was invested into The Order of Canada for reviving the art of traditional fiddling & ensuring through his teachings, recordings & performances that traditional Newfoundland fiddle playing will survive. #RufusGuinchard

Meanwhile in Russia: Putin's presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev said, "To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."
