Seems worth noting that if the party that controls every branch of government has a government shut down, it's the fault of that party and not the minority party. Also, it's never happened in history until Trump and this Republican party the first time around.

For my fellow moms who also took Tylenol, do NOT feel guilty for even a second. The link to autism is NOT a thing and you’ve likely got enough on your plate without government guilt trips. Listen to this if you want the science. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

I'm not particularly religious anymore but I'm still taking the opportunity to tap out on this year. Happy Rosh Hashanah to all who observe.

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/

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it. It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019. This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

Trump’s changes to the program have disqualified hundreds of thousands of locations from receiving internet access..." www.newsfromthestates.com/article/fewe...

Holy shit

Nothing says “Christian conservative,” like a guy in a $2000 suit and a $500 haircut casually pulling a cross with wheels on it.

“Under a third of American adults are Trump voters, and 53% are Trump disapprovers — with 48% intensely opposed.”

Autism has been around for all of history. We see classic traits in the record from scientists, artists, “difficult people” and the rest of the population, we just had different words for it. It’s only after it was named as a condition to be cured did we start assigning blame, usually to mothers.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Cynicism always benefits the opposition.

Stands on rooftops: 📣 🗣️ 🗣️THERE IS NO LINK BTW ACETAMINOPHEN & AUTISM. IT HAS BEEN STUDIED FOR MANY YEARS IN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. 🗣️THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE TALKING ABT THIS IS THAT THEY DO NOT WANT AUTISTIC PEOPLE TO EXIST. 🗣️IT IS EUGENICS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. -EmilyPhD

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

Well, we ended the American experiment but at least we also got higher prices. www.cnn.com/2025/09/20/b...

If I was an entertainment conglomerate in highly polarized times I might rethink wanting to grow even bigger. Every arm of the corporate octopus is now negatively affected by what happens in any of the others.

This is amazing.

Mad Max is back, and this time he will take on the three figures who control the wastelands: the Mayor of Gastown, the Bullet Farmer, and the Vintner.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

awesome that conservatives get to lie about being victims and generate enough death threats to shut down an entire store

Again, just to be clear here, Siebert's replacement will take office with a clear, virtually explicit, mandate to prosecute people who have committed no crime

Got a call 20 min after the scheduled time of an appointment to say “We’re running late” and didn’t say “Yes, I noticed,” and I think I deserve the Nobel Peace prize.

We need much less Chuck Schumer and way more Chris Murphy.

if the democratic party were led by van hollen instead of chuck schumer or hakeem jeffries right now democratic party approval rating would fly through the roof

My kingdom* for someone to ask people like this for specific examples of the Left doing anything remotely analogous to this. *Kingdom not available in all states

I say this as someone who writes about Hollywood and entertainment for a living: People have got to stop thinking Hollywood is one monolithic mass. The creatives are a wholly different group than studio executives. The former group keeps making art despite the latter.

Not sure how much I can trust a watch for sleep stats but I looked the other day and it said I got no deep sleep going pretty far back. I figured that must be wrong but then I read how pink noise was good for that, started using that a few days ago and now it's logging 6 min of deep sleep/night.

If you want to know why comedians are not rising up to defend Kimmel this is an essential text:

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

Karl Rove is heinous and even he can’t stand it.

Since Antifa isn’t really an “organization”, this is just carte blanche to arbitrarily declare people terrorists.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

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.

Comedy always loses to Drama in awards because its deemed as less important, but note what the regime goes after for being a threat to it.

Fallon was the one who bent the knee, what's the problem with him? Capitulation will get you nothing with this regime. They keep proving it to corporations and universities who keep not listening.

Imagining the shock of comedians who said the world was safe for jokes again after the election with all this canceling of comedy.

This is how repressive oligarchies work (corporate autocracies).

ah, well

If nothing else, hopefully we are forever burying the idea that Cancel Culture is primarily a problem of the Left.

Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos
