there are a lot of affluent (and not so affluent) liberals in this country who are very angry and don’t know how to properly direct that anger and Disney gave them a very easy target something for the next big corp that wants to bend the knee to consider

Can confirm.

I mean, all of Redshirts

I keep using the term "non compos mentis" to describe Trump because that's how he's acting. It's beyond his longstanding history of total ignorance, habitual lying, and constant exaggeration. He's genuinely disconnected from reality and often incapable of expressing coherent thoughts.

there aren’t a lot of purely good things on the internet but “you have to share Tom Holland doing Umbrella” is one of them

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

*Bon Jovi voice* WHOA, WE’VE GONE HALFWAY,

This is such a smart way to engage folks who might not otherwise pay attention to politics. And this particular dude is a whole 'nother level of tone deaf buffoonery; I hope he gets trounced.

My first job was a transit and rail engineer/planner. Civil engineering is cool and it's a cool college major even if you don't end up working in engineering.

It is funny for sure. The reason for the difference is that the closer analogy here is between Columbia's board and ABC's executives, who responded similarly. Kimmel is more like Columbia faculty who have resisted their bosses' capitulation. The recurring pattern is: management cowers, labor fights.

"so I deleted my Twitter profile."

What kind of rationalizations do you need to make to think that having a D in power who is against women's rights is any different than an R in power who is against women's rights? (this in ref to Ezra K's idea that we should put up anti-abortion Ds in red states as a tactic to win red votes).

This makes me ever so happy, that enough Blueskyites (Blueskiers? Blueskies? Blueskyenas?) are freaking out about AO3 going down for a little while that it is trending here.

the perfect wall clock doesn't ex......

The same men who want women to raw dog pregnancy with no Tylenol "because it's natural" won't accept that erectile dysfunction is nature's way of preventing old men with bad sperm from having babies. 😮‍💨

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like: -masked secret police kidnapping people off the street -creating concentration camps -attempting to eradicate trans people -banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books -murdering fishermen in open waters

The greatest innovation billionaires have come up with is they found a way to have billions of dollars and still be miserable and angry all the time

If you try a second time there will be a 'Fuckin' SHHH' in between numbers. I will not apologize. 🧶

Proud to announce our unnamed tech partners tracked the cell phone locations of hundreds of thousands of people without their knowledge or consent

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

Happy Bi Day of Visibility Especially to my fellow Bis in Committed Het Relationships Who, Surprise, Are Still Bi

Tylenol is safe for pregnant women. RFK Jr, on the other hand, is not.

What if the rapture is the way God intervenes to save the world?

amazing. they're so great

Now that's a campaign video. 👇🏽

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Wishing all my Jewish Dear Ones a Happy New Year (L'shana tovah u’metukah!) Also this image made me laugh.

Let's do it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs06...

If you can’t write a good bio for yourself in under “an hour and change” using your brain, calling yourself a “wordsmith” is fraudulent. And I’m not going to get into that last line, because I genuinely pity her.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

They are saying out loud that they want the most unqualified idiots who will stay loyal. Astonishing.

I know we all hate to log into LinkedIn, but you might wanna do to opt out of this 😘

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

162,000 doctors strong: The American College of Physicians demands RFK Jr. be removed as HHS Secretary, warning he is undermining vaccines, science, and public health. www.acponline.org/acp-newsroom... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #NurseSky #SciSky

Every movie is in theaters for ten minutes because of streaming and that just means I don’t see a bunch of them because I’m a parent who lives in an apartment. I heard the last Wes Anderson was good

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/

The most impactful way to complain about Kimmel. Fellow Portlanders: We do have a Sinclair station, and it's katu.com (ABC). (Reposting for alt-text).

General pattern in regime change: the comedy gets better and then it gets banned.

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.

what I'm learning from the fact that every one of these decisions has a "huge merger waiting to be approved" factor is that we should no longer allow mergers sorry, you can't buy any other companies anymore, too dangerous to civil society only antitrust breakups allowed

This man takes better photos on what are arguably the worst days of his life under fluorescent tube lighting than most of us will take literally ever It's borderline faerie glamour, has anyone tried touching him with a horseshoe to see if it burns

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

now is the time for every media personality to stand up and speak out, because what this shows is that nothing will save you they’re coming for all of you, unless you’re a true believer your days are numbered and your bosses are eager to comply do something you can be proud of on your way out

"Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line, the two sources say, but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed." They will never learn that capitulation doesn't work. Never

The best thing Kimmel could do right now is do what the Right does when it is deplatformed: replatform yourself on another service, go live, and dunk on the administration harder than ABC would ever have allowed him to. Go full South Park on them. Do an hour on Patel lying under oath about Epstein.

Need a name for your #PlantBased protein patty or nugget? My kiddo says: "Chickn't" If somebody makes this, tag me so I can go buy a truckload of it. :)

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was: * successful at everything he tried * genuinely intelligent & insightful * desired by women * envied by men * an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with * a tireless, lifelong philanthropist ... and he died peacefully in his sleep. 10/10 life. No notes.
