Independent video creator Matt Orfalea just found out YouTube has demonetized his entire channel over a 13-second parody video from May 2014, saying it violates the “violent criminal organizations” policy. The video titled “Starbucks makes you evil | Elliot Rodger” features a clip of the deceased UC Santa Barbara killer Elliot Rodger drinking a Starbucks vanilla latte and saying: “Hey, Elliot Rodger here, enjoying a nice vanilla latte.” It ends with a graphic that says "Starbucks: Insanely overpriced beverages for psychopaths." In a tweet, Orfalea explained, "I’m obviously making fun of materialism, corporations, and narcissists. NOT organizing a violent criminal organization!!!!!!"

I am trying out a new idea: Saturday livestreams to reflect on the week before and discuss the week ahead, and to hear from you about what you would like to see covered. So, bring your ideas and become a member of my editorial board. Also today you get to meet our new puppy!!
I discovered Dave Collum on Twitter because he was saying things that run VERY counter-culture to a typical Ivy League university professor. We covered SO MANY topics, I would love your thoughts on which short segments you think should be uploaded to YouTube.
As the only federal medical professional I can get on short notice, my dad will be making another appearance today! We will try to get the livestream up between 8-8:15A PST. It will be cut early on YouTube, continue live on Rokfin and uploaded here later. Leave me your questions!
