Slipnot drummer Joey Jordison is dead at the age of 46 from multiple sclerosis. The drummer left the band in 2013 after announcing he had the disease. The specific diagnosis was a form of multiple sclerosis called transverse myelitis, which affects the spinal cord and is difficult to treat.
Another former band member of Slipknot died in 2010. This was their bassist, Paul Grey.
Jordison’s family released a statement saying he died peacefully in his sleep.
What might offer hope to millions of Americans, and hundreds of millions of people around the world, who currently suffer from some form of age-related memory loss came out of the Universities of Cambridge and Leeds in England. Age-Related Memory loss was successfully reversed in mice in a study conducted cooperatively by the two UK universities.
The team have already identified a potential drug, licensed for human use, that can be taken by mouth and inhibits the formation of PNNs. When this compound is given to mice and rats it can restore memory in ageing and also improves recovery in spinal cord injury. The…
Chinese Communist Party extension, Huawei will be releasing its major rival to American-created Android in what will surely be profitable to its bottom line in America as the current administration is almost sure to allow this police state machine to sell its data gathering, tracking tools to Americans for what will presumably be cheaper than than Android currently provides.
Chinese behemoth Huawei will hold its next blockbuster launch event tomorrow, July 29, where the firm is tipped to unveil its alternative to Android 12 as well as an all-new flagship smartphone. In the final hours ahead of the bumper event, some details have leaked.
The latest Huawei launch comes a little over a year after its previous Huawei P40 phone announcement – and almost two years since it was walloped with a trade ban by the US, which barred it from dealing with all American…
“This is a really exciting result,” says Edward Cackett, an astronomer at Wayne State University who was not involved with the study. “Although we have seen the signature of x-ray echoes before, until now it has not been possible to separate out the echo that comes from behind the black hole and gets bent around into our line of sight. It will allow for better mapping of how things fall into black holes and how black holes bend the space time around them.”
Amazon just announced no more arbitration standards in settling disputes between itself and its customers, meaning customers can now sue them. The move could signal their confidence in the state protecting their interests in the courts, or fear that their standards of arbitration might themselves be violations of the rights of its customers in a Bill-of-Rights-based republic.
Amazon’s recent email to customers declaring the end to binding arbitration.
For a major corporate declaration, it was relatively brief. And as short as the email was, it can be distilled further into three simple words: So sue us.
When Amazon recently declared that it was abandoning binding arbitration as a method of settling customer disputes — and in doing so, actually informing millions of people about an arbitration clause they didn’t know they’d agreed to in…
While America tears itself apart through reductionist materialism that sets humanity’s worth according to its melatonin, genitalia, and sexual preference, China is rushing forward in its efforts to catch up to the possibly former republic of America in the Space Race. Its Space Station is humming along and preparing to engage in a thousand scientific experiments that are sure to bring ‘hope’ to the world.
China launched the core of its space station in April, and sent three astronauts up in June. But although the space station probably won’t be complete until late 2022, there is already a long queue of experiments from across the world waiting to go up. Scientists in China told Nature that…
Despite the recent dismissal of a lawsuit against Facebook by 40 States Attorneys General, the mega social media platform still faces threats to its status as a monopoly as the losers in the ruling have vowed that they will keep fighting anyway to break up Facebook through antitrust action.
More than 40 state attorneys general on Wednesday said they planned to appeal the dismissal of their antitrust lawsuit against Facebook, setting up a protracted legal fight to rein in the power of the Silicon Valley giant.
The states would be pushing back on a decision made last month by a federal judge who eviscerated their arguments that Facebook had obtained a monopoly through its acquisitions of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014 and had harmed competition. The judge said that the…
The quisling within Team Trump during Donald’s Predidency that is Jared Kushner is prepared to leave politics after serving to undermine his father-in-law for four years in political ways, eschewing the tough battles of politicking for the soft life of entitled investing, as he has announced plans to launch an investment firm, which might very well be the convenient vehicle of financial power through which his real allies, the DNC and the corpostate that supports it, to give him his monetary reward for the work he’s done over the past four years.
This, of course, is merely our opinion, though this latest move gives more credence to it.
Sometimes moral panics emerge, sometimes they are engineered. The Nazi boogeyman is the kind of moral panic that is engineered, and seeking to make the world safe by preventing dangerous thoughts and misinformation is far more tyrannical than the alleged boogeyman such moral panics, including this one, actually represent.
The moral panics around anyone finding “bad” content online are getting out of control. The latest is a truly silly article in the San Francisco Chronicle whining about the fact that there is Nazi content available on the Internet Archive, written by the executive director of the Middle East Media Research Institute, Steven Stalinsky, who is quite perturbed that his own personal content moderation desires are not how the Internet Archive moderates.
The School Counselors Association of Pennsylvania just signalled its commitment to the perpetuation of racism and bigotry recently by coming out in support of Critical Race Theory being taught in classrooms.
First we were told that CRT is a legal standard only taught in law schools, so reports of CRT in our government-run schools were wild conspiracy theories. Then we were told that CRT is the only way to end racism in America, so anyone opposed to it is simply anti-racist.
As violent authoritarian types often do while they yet have lack of total monopolistic power, this group is appealing to actual injustices in the land to justify injustices that will soon outstrip the injustices they allege to be ending. They do this by failing to actually end the injustice they promise to end (as a matter of fact, they often excacerbate them, and we are sure this is what will happen here) WHILE adding more people to the rolls of injustice than were there before (as CRT most assuredly does).
Keep reading the Freedomist for more on CRT and the complexity of confronting a program of police-state control without undermining the parts of that program that might be beneficial to Americans, such as facing our sins, reporting on them, sharing them, and seeking to create more just societies that measure up to a Bill of Rights standard this nation-state has yet to fulfill, but has consistently been moving ever closer to fulfilling.
We won’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, and CRT does have contained within it some ‘babies’ we hope to keep.
The bottom line is that an ideological frame that assumes humans are reducible to melatonin, genitals, and sexual preference is scientifically, spiritually, morally, and ethicly unfit for government schools that are allegedly there, in part, to create good citizens in a Bill-of-Rights-based republican form of governance.
The bottom line is that telling children their nation is evil, telling children their skin and their relation to their genitals defines their worth in society is criminally vulgar and molests the children the state alleges to be serving and equipping. This, my friends, is the underlying dark flaw of CRT, and Pennsylvania School Counselors just made it known they stand for this molestation of children by the state.
