They're just concerned with the threat to their profits and to their monopoly over content.

1. The US murder rate is down an 12% year-to-date, based on 90 cities that have released data.

If the trend holds it will be the single largest annual decline in the murder rate ever recorded.

And yet, you probably haven't heard anything about it.

my air purifier has been showing elevated pm2.5 levels the last couple of days. that's even with windows closed. are the wildfires still burning? or is this something else? I checked the air quality map and there is a lot of orange and even some red in southern Ontario but I don't see anything about it in the news.

More on the misinformation spread by RFK Jr. on Joe Rogan's show. Such false claims about vaccines are responsible for over 200,000 preventable deaths during the Covid pandemic alone. Can't count on Spotify for stopping such misinformation.
