Oh Boy! A more modern look and feel! Don't worry, Beta-Testing a resounding success. Passed with flying colors. No glitches. No redesigns that impact the current simplicity of it.
If you dislike the changes, will they allow you to revert to the legacy mode?
"Vat do you mean you don't like ze chang-zes? You vill like ze chang-zes und you vill use them!"
Thanks for that notification, Bloooooger. I wouldn't have concluded that without the message.
Friday the 13th? Since Biden's has F'ed Up everything he touches, I suppose it's a matter of time until he shats on the web. I've seen other blogs and sites (Blooooger, WP and other independently hosted sites), all having problems today. Pages won't load or if they do it's a half-assed load. Tried to leave a few comments at Blooooger and WP sites, all of which failed.
Oh...wait, I know what's causing this. It's climate change.
Find an alternative video host other than You Tube. There are many choices.Two conservative outlets have complained that their livestreams of the Senate impeachment trial have been taken down —for no apparent reason.
Judicial Watch’s president, Tom Fitton, noted that the organization’s livestream of the impeachment trial was halted mid-stream. YouTube claimed that the stream was “violating ‘community standards,’” according to Fitton’s Jan. 21 tweet. While the stream still remains on Judicial Watch’s feed, it was not allowed to continue.

Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) also tweeted that its livestream had been interrupted as well. At 3:54:41 in the video, the content ceased to stream.
Both of these streams simply followed the Jan. 21 Senate Impeachment Trial as it was happening.
YouTube’s “Restrictions on live streaming” states that “live streaming ability” would be shut off if a channel had a “Community Guidelines” strike, if the content had been blocked around the world, if there was a copyright takedown notice, or if it matched another copyrighted live broadcast. But none of these rules appear to have applied to the simple livestream of impeachment.
A new study by researchers at Northwestern University “presents an algorithm audit of the Google Top Stories box,” examining the results’ variety and ideological leanings, the Daily Mail reports. The researchers looked at the 6,302 articles that appeared in Google’s Top Stories box in November 2017, and found that CNN had the largest percentage of articles at 10%, followed by the New York Times at 6.5% and the Washington Post at 5.6%. From there, Fox News was fourth at just 3%.This new Northwestern University pdf is located here.

The rest of the top twenty sources were all left-leaning organizations or publications, such as Politico, NPR, ABC News, NBC News, and the Huffington Post. No openly conservative news publisher, such as the Daily Caller, made the list.

The findings are only the latest revelations to undermine Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s repeated insistence that the company’s ubiquitous services are ideologically neutral. In April, documents revealed that Google manually manipulates search results and even maintains a blcaklist of conservative sites including The American Spectator and Conservative Tribune.
A leaked video of Google’s internal “all hands meeting” following the 2016 presidential election shows the tech giant’s leadership mourning the outcome, inviting hugs of comfort all around, and vowing efforts correct misinformation [sic] on the Internet that could have contributed to the success of Donald Trump and the rising populist movement worldwide.
