Matt Walsh on Doomerism “. By Miles Mathis
”By the way, although Walsh doesn’t mention it here, Meta and Google have recently lost huge lawsuits on this “doomscrolling”, being found liable for creating addiction, depression, and even suicide. So it isn’t just me and Walsh who are claiming this. Multiple juries have ruled that Big Tech is doing this on purpose, and found that some levels of malevolence are involved. Plaintiffs weren’t required to explain exactly WHY Big Tech would wish to make its consumers miserable, only that it had done so withmalice—the cause of the malice being beyond the scope of the trial. But I have told you why:
Big Tech is an arm of the government, and the government needs you to be confused and powerless. Operation Chaos. The bludgeoning of your sanity by a full-spectrum attack, to prevent revolution…..”

11. Some housekeeping
Nothing particularly technical this time, more about what we’re offering. I say “we” because of reader offerings, which are appreciated, natch.
Thing is this … certain types of offerings almost run themselves from my position here … but some are more problematic. Now that Dearieme has lost interest in the jazz on Sundays … yes, even if only one person still likes it … AKH for example, then I’d keep it going in that slot.
However, AKH also likes the films, as does Toodles, plus they keep appearing, unlike the jazz. This coming Sunday is Easter Sunday or Resurrection Day, so maybe I’ll do something other than jazz on the 5th.
Another problematic offering is the “serious” music. Now it just so happens we have some rippers coming up, suddenly having appeared … first tomorrow around 0800. So they’re all right for two weeks.
Another is the Ruairidh or Jago type … they’ve slowed down but are still occasional.
One which has almost disappeared is my own music from the past (quiet at the back there, enough of this “thank goodness” business) and my attitude now is not to run it unless it connects to a time and topic, e.g. as the Don MacLean did. I have three right now which very much related to past events.
Of all the above, the most problematic, as it’s been before, is the jazz.
