They’re saying the ‘out loud part’ at the top of their lungs.

Yesss. That’s how we do it now.

For anyone who needs to hear this, by virtue of being a “human being” with “empathy” and a concern for “the dignity of others,” well, I regret to inform you that you are and always have been a part of antifa.

The pressure on Disney worked: Now turn it up on your local Sinclair affiliate station. Look ‘em up, call their switchboard, email their GM. Turn ‘em off! Sinclair is in the MONEY making business. Take that away they’re just a bunch of greedy, rich assholes who hate working people.

Jimmy Kimmel is returning to TV and this proves just how much power we have and sadly how much power we have given away. The billionaire oligarchs truly have NOTHING without us, the consumers. We need to stop giving away this power, we need to keep using it to save our democracy. #Resist

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

Johnson & Johnson, the manufacturer of Tylenol, should sue these deranged maniacs back into the Stone Age.

Happy Autumn Equinox! I hope you take time on this first day of Fall to feel the season. 🍁 This is a day of BALANCE —between day and night, darkness and light, inside and outside, action and rest. ⚖️ It’s also a time to express GRATITUDE—for the earth’s bounty and the people who harvest it. 🌽

Really enjoyed reading The List of Seven (1993) by @markfrost.bsky.social. A genre-bending mix of murder mystery, conspiracy thriller, supernatural adventure, Victorian alternative history & Sherlock Holmes homage. Surprised it hasn't been made into a film (yet!)📖 www.bymarkfrost.com/books/the_li...

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

History often turns on unexpected pivots. The aspiring dictator has probed the limits of his power by getting a comedian fired. This has been met with significant pushback by both ordinary and powerful people. Tipping points like these can make a difference. 1/x

If you canceled Disney+ and Hulu, please consider directing that money to PBS or NPR. You can set up a monthly donation and it’s a payment you were making anyway. It would send a GREAT message about our collective power as consumers. www.pbs.org www.npr.org 🙏 @stevethdemocrat.bsky.social

If you want to cancel Disney, but are reluctant to do so because your kids like to watch one or more of its shows, then this is an opportunity for you to step up and be a good parent. Explain to them why you are cancelling it. Teach them about doing the right thing. Kids are smarter than you think.

Let me state the obvious that seemingly needs restated. You can BOTH condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, and still disagree with what he said. This is the USA.

THEY DEFORMED ME, COOP. REDUCED ME DOWN TO ONLY MY MOST RECOGNIZABLE CHARACTERISTICS. I’M A CUTESY SHELL OF MY FORMER SELF. THE BOYS AT QUANTICO ARE CALLING ME A “CHEE-BEE.” I’M SEVEN CENTIMETERS TALL, COOP. 150 GRAMS OF VINYL PLASTIC.

Fear has destroyed more lives than any tyrant...but only when people let it. This is the moment to master yours...stand firm... and resist like your future depends on it...because it does. You're scared. History won't give a shit that you were scared. There are no other acceptable options. None.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

As someone who works in television and film, I understand what it’s like to have your show canceled. I feel for my colleagues, the crew who makes production run smoothly. Bob Iger is a MAGA wuss, w/ no backbone, not a patriot & he knows damn well Jimmy said nothing wrong. 😑 #Pinks #SheShed

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.” That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

What an Image. #TwinPeaks

Yes, Mike Birbiglia.

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI? Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Why does the FBI protect elites from accountability? Massie’s testimony today gives us the answer. A Hollywood producer. A royal prince. A rock star. Six billionaires. Massie says the FBI has them all in Epstein’s files.🔥🔥🔥 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

Anti-Trump protest in London today.

Like anyone who ever crossed his path and got to know him, I celebrate his decency, kindness and supreme artistry.. Long after this dark stupid age has passed he’ll be remembered as the kind of American who personifies the best of who we are, or were.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

those commies at cato will get it for this

These two will always be winners in my book! Mark Frost and David Lynch #TwinPeaksTheReturn @markfrost.bsky.social #MarkFrost #DavidLynch

What’s your favorite Robert Redford film and why?

"He saw the state of the industry as it evolved out of the auteur-driven New Hollywood of the 1960s and 1970s and into the bombs, brawn, and boobs of the 1980s." He "envisioned a better cinematic world," and he set out to build it. The great @sonnybunch.bsky.social on Redford's legacy.

My personal favorite Robert Redford performance ALL IS LOST is currently available for free on Kanopy and the Roku Channel.

This is so important. It’s easy to mistake their threats about ending and persecuting liberal orgs as a sign of strength, when it’s anything but. Their current actions are a sign of the weakness, stress, and strain afflicting their movement and their political efforts. Nothing is inevitable.
