Google Censoring “Died Suddenly” Searches

by

I was logged out of Google on a desktop computer, and tried to search “died suddenly” on Google News and was met with an error. I tried many other searches without problem. I also ran this test on multiple operating systems and different browsers and got the same result. I did not encounter the same issue when logged in to Google or on mobile, for now at least. Below is a video of my interaction.

A new song by Weezer about how society always tries to force you to say yes and impose its will on you, and resorts to gaslighting and intimidation when you refuse. It is what Martin Heidegger called the “Dictatorship of the They.”

Ludovico Einaudi – Experience

by

One of my favorite songs by my favorite music artist Ludovico Einaudi. I discovered Ludovico Einaudi in 2013 when he released his In A Time Lapse album, which features Experience along with many other great songs. I attended his Elements concert a few years later and could easily say it was the best concert I have been to. Musical style is neoclassical.

Joe Bonamassa – The Last Matador of Bayonne

by

The “Last Matador of Bayonne” is about a lone fighter who continues to fight undeterred by unfavorable circumstances and outcomes. Like Rodrigo y Gabriela, I discovered Joe Bonamassa many years ago and attended one of his concerts. I would consider him the greatest blues player today, and probably of all time.

Rodrigo y Gabriela – Our Home

by

A Mexican duo I have been listening to for 20 years, their music never gets old, and I think their latest album may win an award. I attended a concert at a small venue before they became popular and it was a memorable performance.
