Hey there my friends, so I am back once more with the topic being “The Shorty Awards” and as you well know, the world is a VERY different place at the moment due to the continuing issues and problems surrounding the Coronavirus. These awards were supposed to be given out at the now shuttered Playstation Theater (which I might add was a venue we loved to visit for PiercingMetal.com stuff) and with large gatherings being forbidden right now they were dished out via a streaming. This marks the first year I’m adding this awards show to my batch of related content so before I share the winners with you here is a little more about what these honors are for.
“The Shorty Awards, also known as the “Shortys”, is an annual awards show recognizing the people and organizations that produce real-time short form content across Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch and the rest of the social web”.

*** end of rundown ***
Piercing Ken Thoughts: As I pointed out in the nominations rundown, I am not “on point” with a lot of the folks who were up for the honors and hence those who won them. I do like that this kind of thing exists though because due to the pandemic a lot of us are turning to the assorted social networks for entertainment and folks such as myself are really ramping up the content on their own networks. At this point in time, my PiercingMetal site is on all of the major networks and “The Chronicles” are following suit so if you like what we do please hit our About Pages and follow along. Of course the most important aspect is the engagement so like bomb, comment and share the stuff you see so we know to keep it coming. Readers are encouraged to keep commenting on posts like this in the space provided to let us know their thoughts and that they are out there. I promise to keep the entertainment rolling along to distract you in some sense from the constant barrage of news about the goings on from the politicians. Please be safe out there and use your head since this is still too new to know much about. Thanks for reading I will see you again soon.
