mark zuckerberg meta
On Thursday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company would be changing its corporate name to Meta.

Zuckerberg stated during Thursday's online event that the old name of Facebook "doesn't encompass everything that we do." Facebook includes its namesake social media platform, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

According to the New York Post, the new name comes as part of Zuckerberg's push to emphasize a virtual reality world where users can socialize, work, play games and create art, called the "metaverse."

The narcissism of trans activists 'protesting' at David Chappelle sums up how taking choreographed offense has become a plague

Dave Briggs holds a placard as he attends a rally in support of the Netflix transgender employee walkout "Stand Up in Solidarity" to protest the streaming of comedian Dave Chappelle's new comedy special, in Los Angeles, California, U.S. October 20 2021.
The Chappelle/Netflix/trans fuss is just the latest in a series of minor social dust-ups that will continue so long as every cultural subgroup seeks time on the protest carousel. Whose turn is to be offended next week?

Before I begin, I just want to make sure everyone did their homework. By now, we should all have our own self-identifying cultural sub-group named. You can define it any way you wish. It's just essential that you be able to monitor interpersonal and global communications for any whisper of mockery, sarcasm or criticism. If you haven't completed this assignment, you won't be able to demand tragic attention when life's cruel jokesters lob perceived insults your way.

Surely, you can see how well it's working for the most sensitive members of this week's chosen victim set. One stand-up comic got up on stage and joked about their members (no pun intended). They immediately claimed prime "victim of the week" status and rode the headline tidal waves to the top fold.

The president of a California school district was caught cursing on a hot mic during a school board meeting Tuesday, after a parent gave a speech knocking masks in classrooms and COVID-19 vaccination mandates for students.

Lauren Roupoli, who called herself a concerned parent, addressed the Los Alamitos Unified School District Board of Education and spoke about the problems she perceives are involved with enforcing a mask mandates in children.

Her belief is that any possible benefit is far outweighed by the risks.

'Nazis' bearing tiki-torches, allegedly supporting Republican candidate in Virginia election, exposed as false-flag stunt by Democratic establishment


Comment: THIS is election meddling...

A group dressed as white supremacists poses in front of Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin's campaign bus in Charlottesville, Virginia, October 29, 2021.
With the Virginia gubernatorial campaign down to the wire, Democrats pointed and shrieked at "Nazis" allegedly supporting their opponent in Charlottesville. The Lincoln Project then admitted to the false-flag stunt.

The election has gone from a sure thing for Democrat Terry McAuliffe to a possible upset by Republican Glenn Youngkin in recent weeks. On Friday, as Youngkin came to Charlottesville for the final campaign push, reporters were drawn to a group of people posing in front of his bus in pouring rain. All five wore hats, sunglasses, white shirts, khakis and tiki torches - in what seemed to be a reference to the 2017 'Unite the Right' rally that ended in violence.


Comment: It seems pretty obvious that this wasn't a 'demonstration,' despite trying to spin it as such after the stunt was exposed. They were trying to pull a fast one, and in their blatant hubris, thought they wouldn't get caught. But in the digital age, Twitter-sleuths are better at uncovering these things than people tend to anticipate.

Health minister Adrian Dix and chief provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry provide an update on COVID-19 on Oct. 26 2021.
B.C.'s health minister called Tuesday a "solemn day" as 4,090 health care workers missed the deadline for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination and were placed on unpaid leave before they could potentially lose their job. Advertisement Article content

That is just over three per cent of B.C.'s 126,000 health-care workers.


Adrian Dix said 1,369 of the unvaccinated workers are in the Interior region of the province and that overall vaccination rates are also low in Northern health.

"Health authorities are taking steps across B.C. to deal with the challenges presented by this," Dix said.

The same day, B.C. announced a plan for all eligible residents aged 12 and up to get booster shots by next May as part of a program that is already underway for those at highest risk of breakthrough infection.

Author Brittney Cooper speaks during the "Feminism: A Battlefield Report" session at the 10th Anniversary Women In The World Summit on April 11, 2019 in New York City
A Rutgers University professor said, "We got to take these motherf---kers out," when discussing White people in September.

Brittney Cooper, an associate professor in the Rutgers University Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, made the comment during an event titled, "Unpacking the Attacks on Critical Race Theory," hosted by The Root.

"Like, the thing I want to say to you is we got to take these motherf---kers out. But, like, we can't say that, right? We can't say, like, I don't believe in a project of violence. I truly don't," Cooper said.

Cooper was responding to a question posed by Michael Harriot, senior writer for The Root, who asked Cooper what can be expected out of White people from Black Americans.

Cooper also said that she believes that "White folks" are not "eternal."

Comment: Cooper is also probably insane.

Rapper and actor Ice Cube has exited a movie for which he was supposed to be paid $9 million after refusing requests to get the Covid-19 vaccine.

Ice Cube has left the ironically titled 'Oh Hell No' Sony comedy, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter. Cube, known for films like 'Friday' and songs such as 'It Was a Good Day', was set to co-star in the feature with comedic actor Jack Black.

The production was set to kick off in December in Hawaii. Cube, whose real name is O'Shea Jackson, previously joined numerous other celebrities during the coronavirus pandemic and encouraged mask-wearing, even donating thousands of face coverings to an Oklahoma college. He also sold t-shirts during the pandemic encouraging masking and raising funds for healthcare workers.

Comment: When he and other celebrities encouraged mask-wearing, even donated thousands of face coverings when the Corona circus started, nobody said anything about him and he was a "responsible" person back then.

But when he publicly refused the vaccine the same brainwashed celebrities and his colleagues were among the first to attack him.
Ice Cube is one of the few celebrities that we know about that has refused the Covid vaccine.

Another Metropolitan Police officer is in prison facing a rape charge

scotland yard

PC Adam Zaman, 28, who is based on the East Area Command Unit, was charged by the City of London Police.
A Metropolitan Police officer has appeared in court charged with rape.

PC Adam Zaman appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 27 October before district judge Snow.

Zaman was represented by Ricky Blennerhassett. He is accused of raping a woman on Sunday 24 October at the Andaz Hotel in Liverpool Street, central London.

Not an isolated incident

The charges against Zaman are doubly shocking, coming as they do after the brutal abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard. Serving Metropolitan police officer Wayne Couzens used his authority as a police officer to arrest, handcuff and ultimately kill Everard. On 30 September, Couzens was sentenced to life in prison.

Ex-Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, expected to be arrested next week.
Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo was charged Thursday with groping a former aide in Albany's Executive Mansion — a crime that could send him to jail for a year if he's convicted.

A misdemeanor criminal complaint filed in Albany City Court alleges that Cuomo, 63,
"did intentionally, and for no legitimate purpose, forcibly place his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim ... and onto her intimate body part. Specifically, the victims [sic] left breast for the purposes of degrading and satisfying his sexual desire."
The incident allegedly took place on the afternoon of Dec. 7 on the second floor of the Executive Mansion, the governor's official residence.

The name of the alleged victim was redacted from the complaint, but a lawyer representing former Cuomo aide Brittany Commisso, 33, acknowledged it's her. The complaint charges Cuomo with forcible touching, which carries a maximum sentence of one year in jail.

The alleged evidence against him includes: a text message from Cuomo's cellphone, state police aviation records for Dec. 7 and news reports of a press conference that day, state police BlackBerry PIN messages, swipe card records from the state Capitol, and Commisso's testimony to the Attorney General's Office.
