A good rule of thumb, when it comes to all celebrities and politicians is always remember, someone who wants to be famous is arrogant enough to think they deserve to be famous.
It doesn't shock me at all Lizzo is a self-centered lying creep, because being self-centered, a liar, and a creep are the personality traits necessary to be famous.

Fyi, the streaming service in question is Yoto, which is intended for kids aged 0-12, but mostly aims for kindergartners.

Also, do they know about Freddy Mercury's incredibly flamboyant gayness?

So the song just... wasn't included on a greatest hits? That's not fucking cancellation. By that reasoning, every Queen song that didn't make it onto that album has been "cancelled".

They're fucking morons.

We know from the message logs for Tucker & Co that Fox's employees don't actually believe the shit they peddle. The morons are their viewers who lap this shit up because it plays into their preexisting worldviews. Fox cynically serves it up for money and influence; they're evil rather than stupid.

Conservatives: "Liberals are trying to groom our kids into being promiscuous!"

Freddie Mercury: "Left alone with big fat Fanny, she was such a naughty nanny...."

Conservatives: "This is classic! Our kids need to hear this!"

No, Fat Bottomed Girls is normally on Greatest Hits Vol 1. But was omitted from this version because its one of their more fucky songs, and Yoto didn't feel the song was appropriate for their audience i.e. kindergartners. Tho I'd say by that metric they should've left out Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy too. Also pretty fucky.

It's very important to protect the kiddies from inappropriate content. Until it isn't.

Ohhhhh right so it's a reissue of an older compilation, not a new compilation. Got it.

Eh, i am usually against any forms of censorship, media deletion etc. But i fail to see the problem with this. You don't want everyone (ages 2-12) to hear about wanting to play with jiggly asses (because they are the best) - sure why not. I would be pissed if they would cut it to hell and AI-change the lyrics or something.

Also: I am also very surprised when i hear "The Ballad of Chasey Lain" on the radio here. (Also Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo and The Bad Touch) by the Bloodhound Gang.
Apparently those are "Cool Rock"-Classics. I mean, yeah, when i was a edgy Teenager we made them great and we found them fun in their crude rebellious ways, and then familiarity snuck it into the standard-rotation of a boring rock-station here. It's funny. Straight up hearing on the afternoon radio someone musically proposing sex for cocaine and bemoaning the lack of response to his dick-based advances to a pornstar. (I mean even if you don't have the context... it's not subtle)

It's pretty common for kiddybop versions of popular songs to cut racier sections, or swap in different lyrics. Not a new thing either. Been that way for as long as the genre exists.

Apparently that's what Mark Meadows argued in a filing, saying that as an ex-federal employee he is immune from state prosecution.
I get that, though: that's a valid legal wheeze you can try to pull off to delay or dodge consequences.

Trying to shame officials doing their basic job just makes someone a petty, pompous lump of snot.

People are saying this is a sad day, we shouldn't be happy about this. Wrong. Today is a great day, we should rejoice about this. That a man, any man, even a president, is held accountable for their crimes is something to embrace, not recoil from.
The sad day was when this fucker got elected president. Its not bad an ex-president is arrested, its not even bad Trump is arrested. What's bad is he was elected once, and has a chance a second time.

That fucking mug shot.

Maybe he thought it made him look tough while really it makes him look constipated.
