A woman torturer, murderer, and general polluter of society is dead.

Phil Spector, the music producer responsible for some of the biggest hits in music and the architect of The Wall of Sound has died … sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

We’re told he died from COVID-related complications, after being transferred from his prison cell to a hospital. We’re told he was diagnosed 4 weeks ago and went to the hospital but recovered well enough to return to prison, where he was serving a 19-to-life sentence for the murder of Lana Clarkson.

RIP? No, BIH, killer.

They’re getting all their hoaxes, deceptions, and civilization-destroying ideas mixed up in Brussels.

Belgian rioters attacked the king’s car with the monarch inside in violent unrest in Brussels over the death of a black man in police custody who was arrested for breaking the country’s strict coronavirus rules.

King Phillipe was travelling to the Palace of Laeken, his official residence, as protesters began to batter his BMW with projectiles. The vehicle quickly sped off guarded by the king’s security detail.

More than 500 protesters, some of them holding Black Lives Matter signs, gathered in Belgium’s capital on Wednesday following the death of the 23-year-old Ibrahima Barrie.

What was it about shooting at the King? Oh, wait; that is an antiquated saying from the days before the DIEversity arrived in Western Europe. Look at all the cultural enrichment and vibrancy! This is truly Belgium’s greatest strength for everyone, the King included.

When I was very young, my family almost moved to Belgium. Now, I deeply regret that I’m not there to share in this exciting multicultural exchange of projectiles. It’s a shame that things like this don’t happen in my boring country. My tough luck.

Remember, old Belgians, your nation is merely propositional in nature and always has been. They have always thrown rocks at the King. It’s a transformation that has to happen. Long live the King Diversity!

The Cure for ‘Toxic Positivity’

Yes, there is a downside to the half-full mentality.

Raise your hand if you have ever heard “Well at least . . .;” “It could be worse;” “Look on the bright side;” or other expressions that are offered in response to real negative emotions. You’ve likely been on the giving or receiving end of phrases such as these, which means you’ve experienced what is called toxic positivity.

While it is well-intentioned, toxic positivity suppresses emotions. That can lead to stronger negative emotions, such as anxiety and depression, which can also manifest as physical illness. Experiences of toxic positivity are not limited to well-meaning friends and family. It’s also increasingly taking hold in the workplace as leaders lean into optimism in the face of massive COVID-19 economic and social impacts.

Forgot that last part about the hoax. But, the author is correct. All the bright side obsession is usually a mask for something. Despair is the opposite of hope. However, there is a distinct difference between pessimism and honest realism. We’ve known all of this for thousands of years. The solution, the correct way to judge life is via Christian stoicism. It takes practice but it works.

The follow-up video refused to film itself. Similarly, the columns have stalled. Let’s just say I’m too giddy with excitement. In not unrelated news, my video series on the 2033 (or sooner) scenario is rolling right along. Stay tuned. P

PS: Thanks for all the looks this week!
