    Non-copyright Willie: Disney backs down!

    On Thursday, Mashable reported that YouTuber and voice actor Brock Baker had uploaded a video to his channel with over 1 million subscribers which was almost immediately hit with a copyright claim from Disney.

    Mashable continued in an update now..

    After being hit with the claim, Baker’s upload became demonetized, meaning the YouTuber could not make any money off of it. The claim also blocked the ability to embed the video on third-party websites. In addition, the YouTube video was given limited visibility, including being blocked from view entirely in certain countries. 

    MORE..

    Baker disputed the copyright claim shortly after receiving it. His case appeared strong, as Steamboat Willie entered the public domain on January 1, 2024, allowing a broad range of creative usage of the film and its contents without Disney’s permission — including for profit. “Disney released their claim and it’s now embeddable and shareable worldwide,” Baker told Mashable on Friday along with a screenshot of the email alert he received from YouTube letting him know the copyright claim was released.

    HERE IS THE VIDEO..

  • A BRAND NEW BOEING LOSES WINDOW IN MID-AIR!!

    A BRAND NEW BOEING LOSES WINDOW IN MID-AIR!!

    This may be of the most frightening things that can happen on an airplane–mid-flight.. in the air..

    You may as well have queued up the monster on the plane that William Shatner saw during that Twilight Zone episode.

    Brand new Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max loses WINDOW in mid-air

    An Alaska Airlines flight from Portland, Oregon to Ontario, California was forced to make an emergency landing after suffering depressurizat

    MAIL ONLINE

    From reporting:

    Heartstopping audio footage captured the moment an Alaska Airlines pilot radioed for help after a window on her new Boeing 737 Max plane blew out shortly after take off.
    ’Portland approach, Alaska 1282 emergency! Aircraft is now leveling 12,000 in a left turn heading three four zero,’ the unidentified woman could be heard saying after Friday evening’s drama over the skies of Portland in Oregon.
    ‘We need a divert. We’ve declared an emergency. We are depressurized. We have 177 passengers on board and a seal is…18,900’ the pilot can be heard explaining. 

    It is being dubbed the plane of horror.

    While we often decry media over exaggeration.. this one may be warranted.

  • 2023 AND WHERE IT GOT US

    2023 AND WHERE IT GOT US

    We use Holidays as markers in time. The little events that pass or collect.. all lamented or contemplated deeply over the week between Christmas and New Years. Those reflections of themes of the year, the wishes of what we did different.. and the resolutions for the future that undoubtedly will fail miserably by mid-January.

    We are collectively creatures of habit.

    So in that light, it is a habit that even this website considers these events, perhaps in a bigger picture style.. we review it all. We consider and think .. and predict.

    2023 and where it got us? No further than 2022.. And maybe we are still stuck in a kooky weird pandemic mindset. But it sure will never feel like 2019 again. But that was the year that was, then. This is the year that was now.

    2024..here we come. Never thought you’d write that year down, did you?

    2023 and where it got us

    THE BEST AND WORST OF THE YEAR

    So many lost in 2023

    Predictions for 2024

    Final reflections

  • PREDICTIONS AND REVIEW: 2024 AND WHAT’S TO COME

    PREDICTIONS AND REVIEW: 2024 AND WHAT’S TO COME

    So it’s that time again.. we predicted. We locked those prognostications in the massive secured vault, protected from the elements and storms of the year, and unsealed and opened as we end the year..

    What did we predict in 2022 as the new year bloomed, and how bad was it… while we are at it, what do we see, as the great seer of sees, for magic ’24?

    First we review.. the “bold” in what we say about it now. And we did BAD.

    1. The Ukraine/Russia war will drag on until about April or May.. at that time serious discussions will occur to bring a truce. This will be inspired by House Republicans becoming increasingly reluctant to give more aid to Zelenskky.. Russia may end up getting a piece carved from Ukraine for its territory as a result. Before that occurs there will be at least 2 or 3 potentials that it develops into what looks like World War III.. WRONG. The war still drags on. And as far as aid packages, while there are some who decry the money, it continues to flow..
    2. Before said war comes to a truce, an atrocity will occur in Ukraine. It will cause global outrage, but will not cause world leaders to intervene despite the horrors the world sees.. WRONG..
    3. 2023 will be a troubling year for world figures. At least 3 or more world leaders will succumb to their fate. It could be Putin. It could be Biden, It could be the Pope. Troublesome events will emerge in some nations. WRONG.. Just wrong wrong wrong.
    4. We are banking on a Papal change, and with it ‘the end.’ That was predicted by old prophecy.. Peter the Roman would be last. That does not mean the Church and the Pope are gone forever, it means something weird and new happens. A great new schism of modern time may be upon us. WRONG.. we didn’t have much hope in the Pope. But he survived to live another year..
    5. There will be serious litigation considered about how to reign in AI art. It is busy stealing copyrighted images.. it is creating a strange legal conundrum. Who do you prosecute. How. And when. The future is happening faster than law can keep up with it. When the first AI art gets to court, there is a good chance the judge won’t even understand the concept of what is being dealt with! Not yet. Maybe soon. But AI art sure is changing everything.
    6. Inflation will ease–slightly. But also will be a total collapse of certain markets. Automobiles, housing, and pensions will have a bad 2023. Bright silver linings will emerge. A new economy is coming. But so many parts of the old will die first and cause true economic pain in 2023. Eh.. kinda/ We are so desperate looking for something accurate we will hone in on ‘inflation will ease slightly.’ It did. The rest? Eh..
    7. COVID lockdowns are a thing of the past. But we will be sicker and as a whole more and more ‘sudden deaths’ will occur. Living with COVID will mean living with a weaker immune system, more disease, and more snake oil salesmen. We think we are ready to ‘live with COVID’ mentally, but physically we will be living with stronger viruses and less viral and bacterial medication. Life expectancy will drop either in 2023 or 2024 as a result. DING DING DING.. this one is so right, and yet so many are not paying any attention to the ‘died suddenly’ issue.. and certainly not paying attention to the excess deaths around the world.
    8. House Republicans will attempt to launch investigations of the Biden Administration. Everything will just be a mess. Few legislative *if any* victories will be had by either part due to a divided legislative branch. Yep! Got that right. Impeachment coming in 2024.
    9. Everything will seem unstable. Institutions. Governments. Banks. Jobs. Everything we have come to accept will look weird as events change quickly. YES. But this one was easy.
    10. Space travel will be filled with hope.. until it is not. Events will occur that will make Mars and even Moon explorations look implausible in 2023. NAH.. Maybe some other year. Not in 2023.

    So there you go. We did rotten. A barely-anything-right kind of set of predictions. Everyone has an off year..

    What do we see in the great year of 2024? Pain? Horror? Hope?

    Here we go..

    1. The Israel / Palestine war will ravage through spring, with more and more corpses piling up. At some point by May the world will have enough and look for a solution. But Ukraine and Russia will at time divert attention. Both wars will ease as the summer months reign.. but newfound chaos awaits in the autumn.
    2. Black swan event. We will have turmoil and tumult. At times it will feel like the world around us is ending. The only sanity we will get is if we go offline..
    3. Going offline will be in vogue in 2024. With AI tech reigning, we will distract ourselves with 20th century ideals of nature.. hiking.. We will still keep our phones attached to our bodies, but we will try to get in touch with things that once grounded us to the planet. We will need all the support from Earth as we can get in 2024’s stressful news cycles.
    4. Donald Trump will be the nominee for the Republican party. The party will attempt to force him to choose Nikki Haley as VP but he will take his own course of action.. while he will want Tucker Carlson, Tucker opts out in favor of making big bucks on X. Instead Trump goes with Kari Lake.
    5. Robert Kennedy will get 19% of the popular vote and will become the biggest third party candidate since Ross Perot. However he will take votes from both Biden and Trump..
    6. There will be NO presidential debates between Biden and Trump.
    7. AI technology will begin to really, really scare people. We will figure out that nothing we see online is written by real people. Jobs? Well we better rethink them. 2024 will showcase the end of the workforce as we know it. Construction and the building trades may be the future no one saw coming. The roaring 20s will be built by grit, not by BITs.
    8. Late January and February will be cold across North America with several snow storms. But for the most part, get ready for heat and hot and sweat. It will be a record warm 2024.
    9. There will be a new Pope by Christmas mass in December 2024.
    10. The electoral college map prediction. Get ready to freak.. we say a 269-269 tie and God knows what will happen next. Our map prediction below:

    Boom.

    Sealed.
    INTO THE VAULT .. to be consumed in 2024 as we enter 2025… May we have a beautiful year and may most of what I say be wrong as hell.

  • AS THE WORLD TURNS: WELCOME 2024

    AS THE WORLD TURNS: WELCOME 2024

    Happy end of 2023.

    Happy beginning of another one.

    We lament the past every December–we play melancholy songs to end the calendar and have hope a new one will be better.

    Every year will BE the best.. and by December every year WAS the worst.

    But yet somehow we go back again.. the next year.. doing the same thing.

    That is why this particular Batman comic has been poignant for me for a long time.

    Happy end of 2023.

    It is not that next year will be better, or worse.. but that it will be.

    That we will make it, and a year from now be healthy and safe enough to toast what was and what will be.

    As times beats on, we all take a beating.

    Here’s to survival. And yes, Commissioner, hopefully we will be doing this again next new year’s eve.

    2024… as we will turn to 2025. . .

    My God.. make it stop.

  • THE BEST AND WORST OF 2023

    THE BEST AND WORST OF 2023

    The story of the year: WAR!

    And here we thought it would be Ukraine. The sudden attack on Israel by Hamas led us into a strange place.. newfound territory and old wounds. This war is brutal. The end is not afoot. And it most likely will feature plenty more death and destruction by 2024. . War galore. And no winners in sight.

    THE PERSON OF THE YEAR

    TIME MAGAZINE chose Taylor Swift. She was big and all. But earth changing? Elon Musk prevailed this year. Some say for the best. Others for the worse.. Either way we have this billionaire with us for the foreseeable future, implementing whatever he wants to on X after renaming it Twitter and still selling tons of Teslas despite them having massive recalls. For as much as people say they hate Musk, they all look up at night when they find out Starlink is above..

    Box office of the year

    Barbenheimer!! Some may say Barbie was also the person of the year.

    These two films collectively brought back the box office, just as much as Taylor Swift..

    They were the films of the year for many.. But the collective were a boom for movie theaters that were on shaky ground..

    Some Weird of the year..

    Where do we start? The crazy plane woman screaming that someone or something was not f(&(&ing real..?
    Maybe the UFOs?
    Maybe the news that robots almost killed a human worker at a Tesla factory?
    Maybe CHAT GPT taking over everything..?
    Or maybe.. all of it. And then some.. but the biggest of the year…

    The really weird of the year..

    The kind that will change the world–maybe–forever?

    The aliens among us!

    This was the wild one.

    The same say that a tornado was forming over the Capitol, witnesses were testifying before Congress that secret government projects exist, that the military has space aliens, and that we may know if other worldly or even inner dimensional creatures.

    All this at the same time the government was actively shooting down both Chinese spy balloons and/or UAPs.

    Disclosure never felt closer than in 2023.

    The HORROR movie of the year

    This will be controversial. Skinamarink. So many horror fans HATED it..
    Yes, it was weird.. at times got a bit boring.. Confounding. But with each viewing–and we challenge you do do that–you’ll see it gets easier to digest and you’ll become more in tune with the emotions. The movie itself was surreal and made you feel deeply uneasy on multiple levels. If nothing else, it became the horror movie of the year because of that impact.

    Best Netflix of the year

    Mike Flanagan is leaving Netflix.. but before he does he gave us another must see series.
    This was one of the more macabre.. the deeper.. the gross at time!

    In end we were glued to our TVs or devices of our choice.

    If Edgar Allen Poe was alive today, he would have been too.

    Politics of the year

    Mitt Romney likes hot dogs. So much that he said “hot dog” is his “favorite meat.” This video cannot be beat.. it perhaps is the best Mitt Romney ever .. Because we love it so much, you can watch it below:

    Freeze frame of the year

    The multiple times that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell froze was the top .. Diane Feinstein, may God rest her soul, also was a shocking embarrassment to us as well.

    The leaders are aged. But they remain. The animatronics just won’t quit.

    The mug shot of the year

    Anti-Trumpers called it the most important mug shot ever.

    Pro-Trumpers called is the most important mug shot ever.

    Not it’s on shirts, mugs, and the Trump for 2024 campaign site.

    Stop doing this in 2024

    No more big giant baby gender reveal parties, please?

    When your baby reveal party leads to a plane crash that kills a pilot and destroys an apartment building, you know you went too far.

    TIKTOK OF THE YEAR

    The guy who lives in a vacant apartment building. While he was around for years, 2023 gave us the viral moment when TikTok user Cody (@atlcody) says the apartment complex he lives in is “abandoned.” It generated 5 million views.

    Accidental Instagram of the year

    When Jamie Lee Curtis posted photos of her office, along with images of a child in a bath tub. It was all innocent, right? Sure? Maybe?

    One Hit Wonder of the year

    Oliver Anthony’s Rich Men North of Richmond was so huge that it was mentioned at presidential debates. It was a giant story for weeks until Taylor took over again. But in the midst, it hit a chord …

    Natural (and human) disaster of the year

    Maui..

    “This is strong confirmation — based on real data — that utility grid faults were likely the ignition source for multiple wildfires on Maui,” said Bob Marshall, the founder and CEO of Whisker Labs, which has 78 sensors across Maui, part of a robust network of hundreds of thousands monitoring grids across the United States.

    In the days leading up the predicted hurricane winds, Hawaiian Electric did not cut power as a precaution.

    So a zoo in China is denying that this is simply a man dressed up in a bear costume..

    It is our weirdest of the year

  • Now revealed years after it happened: Tesla robot attacked an engineer at company’s Texas factory during malfunction – leaving ‘trail of blood’

    Now revealed years after it happened: Tesla robot attacked an engineer at company’s Texas factory during malfunction – leaving ‘trail of blood’

    This is reporting from the UK DailyMail .. developing ..

    Now while the headline might sound stunning, and a perfect way to end a wild 2023, keep in mind that this incident occurred previously. It was not fresh, but instead not known or revealed until now. 

    Two witnesses watched in horror as their fellow employee was attacked by the machine designed to grab and move freshly cast aluminum car parts. 

    The robot had pinned the man, who was then programming software for two disabled Tesla robots nearby, before sinking its metal claws into the worker’s back and arm, leaving a ‘trail of blood’ along the factory surface.

    The incident – which left the victim with an ‘open wound’ on his left hand – was revealed in a 2021 injury report filed to Travis county and federal regulators, which has been reviewed by DailyMail.com.

    While no other robot-related injures were reported to regulators by Tesla at the Texas factory in either 2021 or 2022, the incident comes amid years of heightened concerns over the risks of automated robots in the workplace.
