No Walrus, Just The Eggman

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly
I’m crying

Sitting on a corn flake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you’ve been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long

I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus – Goo goo g’joob

CBS Minnesota reports, “Snowfall Begins In Southern Minn., Twin Cities”

The largest April snow event in Minnesota’s recorded history brought 13.6 inches. That was on April 14, 1983.

This year, April 14 could bring an event that eclipses that one, at least in the southwestern portion of the state.

WCCO meteorologist Molly Rosenblatt says that area is likely to see 8 to 15 inches of snow — or even as much as 18 inches — by Sunday evening. The situation in the Twin Cities isn’t necessarily much better, with anywhere from 7 to 10 inches likely.

Mr. Zuckerberg Goes To Washington (Update-2)

It does appear, based on the test in “Mr. Zuckerberg Goes To Washington (Updated) that Facebook does, indeed, censor posts critical of Mr. Zuckerberg. Here’s the results.

Even after an obvious warning that a censorship test was being conducted, Facebook replaced the satirical meme image of Mark Zuckerberg with a “safe image” placeholder.

Final conclusions aside, in this instance Facebook could not be trusted to be a fair broker of the news. How many occurrences should it take before Facebook forfeits the trust that has been placed in it to be able to operate free of Government Regulations? Not so many, I think….

Mr. Zuckerberg Goes To Washington (Updated)

In case you missed Mr. Zuckerberg’s 2 days of Congressional Hearing testimony – “I’ll have my team get back to you on that, Congressman….” Update:  an anecdotal test to determine if Mark Zuckerberg, or his “team” are so sensitive to criticism that they substitute ‘safe images’ for images, shall we say, that are critical of Zuckerberg.

This is the original Featured image from the post.

This is the image Mr. Zuckerman’s Facebook AI/Censors used to replaced the original post’s ‘Featured Image”.

This is the Screenshot of the resultant Facebook post. Here is a link to the original ThePublicEditor.com post.

And this is a Screenshot of the resultant Twitter post. Apparently, Twitter founder, Mr. Jack Dorsey, has fewer sensibilities regarding ‘memeing’ Mark Zuckerberg’s image than Facebook does.

Now we will test whether the “Safe Image” used was by ‘accident’ or by ‘design’.

NRA ‘Salesmen Of The Year’

The Washington Post reports, “Gun control debates create gun production booms, government data show.

The data also shows episodic spikes of production and firearm sales when there’s the possibility of new federal gun-control policies. The two biggest years for gun production in recent history — 2013 and 2016 — came during intense debates about whether Democrats would be able to curb access to firearms such as the AR-15.

“Gun lovers have been convinced that their right to buy guns in general, or particular types of guns, would be taken away by the politicians and they better hurry up and get whatever guns they have considered obtaining,” said Philip Cook, professor emeritus of public policy studies at Duke University.
