The UK passed an online safety bill, which will hold Internet social media companies' feet to the fire. It seems like a revocation of Section 230, of which efforts to do something similar failed in the U.S. How will it be enforced, however? No one has an answer. Nice empty gesture, though. I've always said that the Internet was not designed to be a family-friendly network. Act accordingly.

Bring back the Mafia? I don't think so. There is no accounting or responsibility. Better solutions exist, but it's interesting that some people are thinking that we need a separate law-enforcement system.

Nice to know that Sony prizes competence and excellence over progressive sentiment:
Yeah, that flute player is Cornelius Boots, one of the world's best shakuhachi players. If Sony wanted to use him, that's fine with me. It's their story to tell, not yours. "Cultural appropriation" is one of those progressive clichés we can toss out, like "TERF", "hate speech" or "cisgender".

The Overton Paradox. With each generation, something is discarded that has long been with us. These are basic beliefs or traditions that have long withstood time. Because they were there for a reason. But then politicians and other foolhardy individuals think that they know better. And with each loss, we proceed away from the central tenets and strengths that made our nation and its culture the envy of the world. Standards are lowered or thrown out. Teachers teach kids that the pillars that made America great are to be torn down and replaced by ideas that have already been found faulty. Now the clearly mentally-ill are in the halls of power. This is why. It should be called the Overton Degradation.
