1. The entire framing of the piece accepts the idea that autism is "a problem" that needs to be "solved."

Americans watching any segment of Trump’s UN “speech” (or screech): (or add your own favorite embarrassed facepalm gif below!)

Love this by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social (in a FB mini essay about how consumer protests led to Kimmel reinstatement.)👉 “authoritarianism is here, but it's weak and stupid and can still be defeated. “

I don’t know about the new season of The Pitt

LOOOOOOOL

I wish the rapture would happen but just to people who believe in the rapture

Consumer boycotts and mass pressure works when you are on the side of the majority and constitution, folks, don’t let anyone tell you different.

These downward trend lines are what Bob Iger and other Disney/ABC execs are tying themselves to. It’s weak, pathetic, and cowardly - and our democracy is paying the price. But it’s also really stupid and bad for Disney. This guy is really unpopular! #BoycottDisneyABC

Did I miss the National Day of Mourning for film legend and great American, Robert Redford? Or is it happening soon?

Hello! ICYMI, due to CPB funding freeze I lost my job in public media in July. So in the parlance of LinkedIn, I’m open to work. As a writer, copy writer, editor, digital content producer, content everything. + Freelance film/tv journalist. You can see more here: www.linkedin.com/in/craig-phi...

Open the damn doors, then!!

We’re revisiting Sneakers in honor of Redford, always a fun watch. But it also makes me wish today’s hackers were accomplishing more shit to save us

NEW: A sharp picture of the personal nature of Trump's disregard for the rule of law. Allegations against Trump's "border czar" and DOJ, TikTok shenanigans, and Trump's Virginia federal prosecutor manipulations. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Broncos coming back only to lose on game ending field goals on the road*two weeks in a row* makes me question why I still care about NFL given everything else going on in the world, but hopefully I can revisit this one months later and laugh about how bleak everything looked

The hits keep coming! My wife’s in the ER for low heart rate and unexplained abdominal pain. And our new insurance doesn’t kick in until Oct 1. Here comes a wave of huge hospital bills. Anything helps. Thanks skeeters.

When you’ve lost the Disney adults…

Chai is reading up and will share with everyone what he learns from this book by Stewart @brittlestar.com Reynolds, a gift to my cats (and us) by my dad.

There are so many reasons why this is bad for society, but essentially one man owning multiple major media companies and streaming services can come to an obvious head when they have to make a decision that involves morality and democracy, beyond capitalist repercussions.

Post now deleted, more or less confirming it was a DM. Great opsec!

The Netflix animated series Haunted Hotel is cute and mildly fun but it just dawned on me how similar the basics are to Ghosts (UK/US), who lots of spirits from various eras haunting an inn, the innkeeper can see them etc. Even if the differences in her having kids, no hubby and a ghost brother.

the revolution will not be televised (they canceled their subscriptions)

Opinion | My pronouns are Charlie Kirk by Marc Thiessen

I have a new suggestion for HGTV’s “Scariest House in America” series. Hint: It’s a big, really old, really white one.

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

“But we’ll keep digging until we find it!”

I’m no expert but so far I feel like quite a few of the bakers on this season of Great British Baking Show aren’t very good at baking. Which imho is fairly important on the GBBS?

dang, they lost the hulk, aunt may, and mr fantastic

Disney's strategy with Kimmel has been to try to cool things down and figure out how to get its affiliates on board with his show's return to air. There's logic in that. But soon, Bob Iger may have to decide what's more important: Money or liberty. My latest: www.vulture.com/article/bob-...

they let him go. For now: he won, trump lost

The findings “suggest that medical AI tools powered by LLMs have a tendency to not reflect the severity of symptoms among female patients, while also displaying less ‘empathy’ towards Black and Asian ones.”

Taking break from social media for the weekend (as much as I can) but here’s a positive discovery: the university where I was an undergrad has a huge library full of workspaces on multiple floors, quiet, clean, wifi, as far as the eye can see! I’m gonna work on my spec there and tune out. ✌️

In 2023, Charlie Kirk on his podcast said that Joe Biden should be executed. Exactly what Jesus would do, right, Cardinal?

"CBS News and CNN, could soon be combined into something...almost unrecognizable, something way too close to what is served up on a daily basis by the Murdochs." Add TikTok, and Trump "could be getting an extraordinarily powerful media ally." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/o... #LarryEllison #CBS #CNN

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Unless you change the Constitution, yes, YES they are allowed to do that.

🚨BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna just motioned to SUBPOENA FCC chairman Brendan Carr in the House Oversight Committee to stop the intimidation of private businesses and assault on free speech

It’s not easy to be looking for a new job while really not wanting to work for an AI centered company, given my feelings; aside from the ethic concerns of it, just that, you know, the tech for it may be destroying the planet. At some point I may need to help feed the cats and give up, but for now…

Kimmel never said this: "Jimmy Kimmel claims Charlie Kirk shooter is ‘MAGA’ " but the facts did. not. matter. The MAGA swarm came for Kimmel and Disney news caved. Good reality check from @swin24.bsky.social & @andrewperez.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Deadline executive editor Dominic Patten said that he's hearing Disney may back down after public backlash over the yanking of ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.

47th President: the ProFa Administration™️

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Here’s all the ways you can take action against Disney, ABC, Sinclair, and Nexstar for silencing Jimmy Kimmel and attacking free speech. Share WIDELY. #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC

Okay this is maybe a naive question or no one knows yet, but couldn’t Kimmel sue ABC and Nexstar? This feels like something that is a groundless disciplinary action that he could counter. (Of course while lower courts would likely rule in favor who knows how that would go at our highest courts.)

Jimmy Kimmel in humble & humane way posted his & family grievances about the killing of C. Kirk 7 days ago. Through his comments he tried to unite ppl against violence. The Sinclair/GOP campaign of being ‘outraged’ with ‘libs’ just a campaign to suppress ppl rights to express their opinions.

Big ask. I’m co-hosting a NEW podcast with @mherskovitz.bsky.social. It’s called The Rising. We’re looking past the bullsh*t. We’re thinking BIG about how to get out of this mess. We want to push the movement. And the party. If you’re ready to finally stand up to fascists, please share:

Here’s a thought (tho I don’t expect it): if you make any of the most popular ABC shows this year maybe use this opportunity to strike/threaten to pull your show. The time is now for those in power to stand up and use leverage, just as the super popular South Park knew Paramount couldn’t do jack.
