MyPillow Guy’s “Free Speech” platform Frank launches next week and there’s a lot of rules. Nothing can break the ten commandments, which means you cannot take the Lord’s name in vain, there’s no porn, no nudity, and even NO LYING? “You’re not going to be able to swear. There will be four words for sure you can’t say: You can’t say the C-word, the N-word, the F-word, and you can’t use God’s name in vain. What a concept, right?”

Wow how incredibly free! Just make sure you also don’t post anything about how you think Casper Pillows are best.

New Song From Mick jagger and Dave Grohl Song Has Everyone Talking About the Lyrics

Mick and Dave released Easy Sleezey, and there’s a lot of talk about pandemics lockdowns and vaccines.

We took it on the chin/The numbers were so grim/Bossed around by pricks/Stiffen upper lips
Pacing in the yard/You’re trying to take the Mick/You must think I’m really thick/Looking at the graphs/With a magnifying glass/Cancel all the tours/Football’s fake applause
No more travel brochures/Virtual premiers/I’ve got nothing left to wear

Looking out from these prison walls/You got to rob Peter if you’re paying Paul/But it’s easy, easy/Everything’s going to get really freaky/Alright, on the night/Soon it’ll be a memory you’re trying to remember to forget…

That’s a pretty mask/But never take a chance/Tik Tok stupid dance/Took a Samba class

I landed on my ass/Trying to write a tune/You better hook me up to Zoom/See my poncey books/Teach myself to cook/Way too much TV/It’s lobotomising me

Think I’ve put on weight/I’ll have another drink/Then I’ll clean the kitchen sink
We’ll escape from these prison walls/Open the windows and open the doors
But it’s easy, easy/Everything’s going to get really freaky
Alright, on the night/It’s gonna be a garden of earthly delights
Yeah it’s easy, sleazy/Everything’s smooth and greasy

Easy, believe me/It’ll only be a memory you’re trying to remember to forget
Shooting the vaccine/Bill Gates is in my blood stream
It’s mind control/The earth is flat and cold/It’s never warming up
The Arctic’s turned to slush/The second’s coming late/And there’s aliens in the deep state

Okay boomer.
