Something that would be genuinely helpful would be for anyone doing this in a local market -- say, Austin's KEYE-TV (channel 42) -- to write down a list of companies advertising in that specific market so that people can start calling and writing letters

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. In 2002, Putin shut down a comedy show after it called him a "baby gnome". This week, Trump axed Jimmy Kimmel’s show. I spoke to Ambassador Michael McFaul about why autocrats fear comedy - what it means for free speech.

The clock is ticking.

So it should be reposted far and wide.

'I will never visit the United States again.'" Winning, so much winning.

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

Just noticed "Gulf of America" on @deltaairways.bsky.social website's route map. I'm going to see what's available on a different airline, one that doesn't shamelessly pander to a fascist lunatic.

Trump says the job numbers may not be good now but a year from now they will be. A bit different from what we heard during the campaign. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I usually tried to assign sources that got them to think of the historical actors as humans like themselves (who joke, get upset, tell big truths, and also lie). I think some sources do this better than others. I wrote about it here if you’re interested: daily.jstor.org/lies-damn-li...

It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion… … and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines. Infuriating.
