  • Verizon owned TUMBLR bans porn! And its user base leaves in droves

    Verizon owned TUMBLR bans porn! And its user base leaves in droves

    Tumblr announced this week it will ban content featuring nudity from its platform, starting December 17.

    The decision was met with lots of backlash from users who view the site as a safe space to explore their identity and sexuality through not safe for work (NSFW) content.
    Many Tumblr users have said they plan to abandon the platform for alternative blogging websites that allow explicit content..

    Tumblr says it’s banning “adult content” from its platform in order to make “a better, more positive” place, but the policy change has some users abandoning the site.

    The new policy goes into effect December 17, and will result in the deletion of any content portraying “real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples,” Tumblr, a Verizon-owned company, said in its announcement.

    Reaction to Tumblr’s announcement has been swift and critical across social media. More than 423,000 people have already signed a Change.org petition to “make Tumblr rescind their adult content ban.”

    This move comes after years of debate of whether Tumblr porn was free  expression and art, or porn. Creator David Karp didn’t touch the subject.. When the company sold to Yahoo, people began to get worried..
    Corporate drama weighed heavily into this event..

    Tumblr says that child pornography was the reason for its app’s sudden disappearance from the iOS App Store. The app has been missing from the store since November 16th, but until now the reason for its absence was unclear — initially Tumblr simply said it was “working to resolve the issue with the iOS app.” However, after Download.com approached Tumblr with sources claiming that the reason was related to the discovery of child pornography on the service, the Yahoo-owned social media network issued a new statement confirming the matter.

    And now, with Tumblr acting like the Porn Stealing Grinch before Christmas for users, some are wondering if the website–around more than ten years–is going to be hit with the same fate as another former amazing site for creativity: LIVE JOURNAL.

    But if TUMBLR goes, users are going to take it down in the same fashion they used it in: With perceptive and incredible memes with social commentary:

    Man coughs blood in the shape of his bronchial tree

    This is not for the faint of heart..

    Doctors at UC San Francisco Medical Center see a lot of things, but even they were stunned by this.

    They were treating a 36-year-old man with end-stage heart failure when he began coughing so violently, that he coughed up a 6-inch-wide blood clot from his lungs in the near-perfect shape of his right bronchial tree.

    It has been a while since I posted.. there are a few reasons why..

    While I type the post you are about to read, I am listening to an old school song of the disco age.. I recommend it as a background soundtrack while you take in the rest…

    This was a really cold Thanksgiving, wasn’t it? … Charlie Brown was just about ready to be grounded for the Macy’s Day Parade until, finally, at the last minute he was set to fly. Without a coat! Just his bare arms out for Al Roker to see!!

    This was a Thanksgiving, personally, to forget. But one to equally learn from.

    My family and I, on the way to a carb filled dinner of Thanksgiving lure, smacked dead on into a deer. He did not live, and someone most likely had a gruesome surprise at the paper box BLACK FRIDAY morning… Bambi did not make it. Only three days until Deer Season and we already got one with the front bumper of our car…

    On Thanksgiving night, my mother ended up in a hospital for a bad fall.. a few days later she is in a higher care unit and having some issues of mental and physical despair ..

    I pray to the warriors of time that my Mom will be fine.. that whatever will be, will be.

    And whatever will be, will actually be.

    After all, we are not in charge.. we are not in the ‘know’ of what will occur..

    Tonight, despite the sadness that has encompassed a family, I am thankful for so much that occurred in the past.. the strength my mother had and still does, the beauty inside and outside she had, and the strength she has possessed since I my younger days… back in the time when she would sing me to sleep while a quaint photo of Winnie the Pooh would rest above my bed..

    Trump insults reporters, claims Acosta video wasn’t altered

    Trump insults reporters, claims Acosta video wasn’t altered:

    Phillip asked Trump whether he wanted Matt Whitaker, the newly-appointed acting attorney general, to rein in Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

    “What a stupid question you asked,” Trump replied. “What a stupid question and I watch you a lot and you ask a lot of stupid questions.”

    In response, CNN said through its Twitter feed that Phillip’s question wasn’t stupid. “In fact, she asked the most pertinent question of the day,” CNN said. Trump’s insults “are nothing new. And never surprising,” CNN said.

  • Scientists say mysterious ‘Oumuamua’ object could be an alien spacecraft

    Scientists say mysterious ‘Oumuamua’ object could be an alien spacecraft

    Scientists say mysterious ‘Oumuamua’ object could be an alien spacecraft:

    Scientists have been puzzling over Oumuamua ever since the mysterious space object was observed tumbling past the sun in late 2017. Given its high speed and its unusual trajectory, the reddish, stadium-sized whatever-it-is had clearly come from outside our solar system. But its flattened, elongated shape and the way it accelerated on its way through the solar system set it apart from conventional asteroids and comets.

    Now a pair of Harvard researchers are raising the possibility that Oumuamua is an alien spacecraft. As they say in a paper to be published Nov. 12 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the object “may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilization.”

    The end of GOD? Claims humans will ‘worship AI Messiah’

    Dan Brown:

    Speaking about the advent of this technology, the Da Vinci Code writer said: “Humanity no longer needs God but may with the help of artificial intelligence develop a new form of collective consciousness that fulfils the role of religion.

    “Are we naive today to believe that the gods of the present will survive and be here in a hundred years?”

    According to Daily Galaxy, MIT physicist and cosmologist Max Tegmark also said that once this new superintelligence is vastly greater than that of a human, the fate of mankind will depend on it.

  • Rise in melatonin for sleep aid

    Rise in melatonin for sleep aid

    This from the UK GUARDIAN:

    Tens of thousands of children and young people are being given the hormone melatonin to help them sleep, prompting concern that the medicine is being handed out too readily with little evidence of its long-term effectiveness or safety.

    Melatonin, which is produced naturally by the body in dark environments to help sleep preparations, has been authorised for use by people aged over 55. It has been hailed as a less addictive alternative to insomnia drug treatments.

    Despite the fact it is not licensed for use by any other age group, 117,085 people under 18 were given melatonin “off label” – the term used for when a drug is given for an unapproved indication or in an unapproved age group – to aid sleep in the 2017-18 financial year. In the first four months of the current financial year, 69,280 prescriptions were given to under-18s.

    The WEBMD verdict is this: Melatonin is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth appropriately, long-term.Melatonin has been used safely for up to 2 years in some people. However, it can cause some side effects including headache, short-term feelings of depression, daytime sleepiness, dizziness, stomach cramps, and irritability..

    But why the overwhelming need? What is the issue within America and the developed world that is leading to such awful sleep problems? 

    A recent report running in the CHICAGO SUN TIMES  reports on one expert who concludes:

    Before trying sleep aids, return to basics like establishing a regular sleep schedule, Tsai said. She sympathizes with parents, and in the last five years has seen an influx of teens in her own sleep clinic fighting some serious emotional battles.

    “There’s more electronic usage and I feel like our teens have higher rates of anxiety and/or depression and that plays a role in our sleep,” she said.

    Afraid of the effects of melatonin and effectiveness in general? Maybe CBD gummies are the way to go instead.

    One article tells of a “sleepyhead” who was put to sleep by the them..

    The first night I took the gummies, I was convinced they worked. I felt less stressed on the Sunday night before work and within thirty to forty minutes after getting into bed I was asleep. However, my success was short-lived. I don’t know if I abused the gummies by taking them in the day time (when I was also stressed) or built a nightly tolerance, but after a week or so, I was awake again. The 10mg of cbd oil that the Sunday Scaries contained was not doing it for me anymore.

    A Nightmare on Elm Street star Heather Langenkamp says that…

    A Nightmare on Elm Street star Heather Langenkamp says that there’s a sexist connotation with the phrase “the final girl,” as male characters earn a nickname that doesn’t specify gender. ..

    “I don’t think we should call her a ‘final girl’ anymore,” Langenkamp shared with the L.A. Times. “Because one, I want a boy to be able to play a part like this, and they’re never going to call him a ‘final boy’ — they just call him a hero. Just call a hero a hero, regardless of gender.”“To me, it’s at least a little less offensive than ‘final girl’ in some ways; at least she’s at the top of the heap — she’s a queen,” the actress pointed out. “I just hope that for women in my shoes who get the opportunity to play a part like Nancy [in A Nightmare on Elm Street], it doesn’t take them so long to think that they did something right.”

    “I’m sitting here like any other scream queen in Hollywood, hoping that they revive their franchise,” Langenkamp shared with Entertainment Weekly. “I’m not alone! I know of lots of other horror heroines who have this little bit of spring in their step thinking about the chance of perhaps being in [new versions of] the movies that they helped make famous as young people. It’s kind of crazy, but it’s definitely something I would love to do.”
