LOL

was gonna mic-drop there but actually i just thought: 34) finishing creative projects is a skill in and of itself. if you want to be able to finish large, complex projects, you have to _practice finishing things_. which usually means doing smaller projects.

I hope people see how easily Disney folded under consumer pressure and start wielding the power they have more often. In a capitalist society, all these shitbags are ever going to care about is money. Use that. Weaponize it.

Happened to find this - it's a useful little website if you A) want to know why you should drop Substack and B) want a list of alternatives. A couple also have tools to import your old SS posts over. leavesubstack.com #kidlit

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

26,000 YouTube views for Sinclair’s Charlie Kirk tribute special. Just for comparison, Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue on any average Wednesday will get between two and four MILLION YouTube views. Right wing culture is fringe stuff. It is not American culture by any stretch.

the conservative project is a cosmic gumbo of misogyny, rape, pedophilia and a deep hatred for the other and themselves

the supposed peace administration wants to re-invade afghanistan

Cancelled Disney+

Donald Trump and his administration used Charlie Kirk’s murder as an excuse to ramp up their ongoing campaign for total power, in their most authoritarian week yet. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A press release to beg people to stop criticizing Trump and DHS & ICE agents who are attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping people off the streets, operating concentration camps where members of Congress are not allowed in, and rendering people to foreign lands they've never been to 🤔

there should be something like the internet but without any of the AI going on wait I got it also something like society without any of the AI going on as opposed to AI now integrated into every web browser, operating system, phone, bulb, school, office software, shower, email, fingernail clippers

One of the many reasons it feels like we're doomed as a species is a lot of people don't seem to think continuing to exploit people after they die isn't an absolute red line.

probably the realest thing ive ever seen posted on that website

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

We know that transit is a lot safer than driving no matter how you slice it, and cities built to encourage transit trips see far less people dying on their streets. Making transit faster and more reliable has to be a part of the work to get Portland to zero traffic deaths.

Guys, can someone check on Satan? I think hell might've actually frozen over

The widely accepted narrative that Trump "chickened out" on Chicago is completely incorrect. ICE's incursions are getting worse here every day.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Bull fucking horse shit.

Palestinian Voices in Games announced - a network of more than 50 industry professionals supporting Palestinian video game creators, with 4 games currently receiving help. (Read more: Palestinian Voices in Games)

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

For some inexplicable reason, this brilliant 1938 anti-Appeasement cartoon by the great David Low came to mind when I looked at the list of the Mega-Powerful / Hyper-Rich at yesterday’s Windsor Castle nosh up for our superhuman masters.

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

my homophobic neighbor's coffeeshop is going out of business

all of us poorly acting like fans of jimmy kimmel because the principle of the situation is more important than our taste

Poverty is expensive. We pay for it through ER visits, evictions, crime, broken families and wasted potential. We spend billions managing poverty instead of ending it. Universal Basic Income flips the script, it’d cheaper and smarter. #UBI

By the way, just as my own spiteful cherry on top: You can thank Bill Clinton's telecommunication deregulation for the fact that Nexstar exists and owns most of the local affiliate stations for multiple networks in this country. Remember: Fuck the Clintons.

two ways you can help protect public health next: - talking about the hearing and what the CDC officials said during it with the folks in your life who are not on here - call your reps and senators. demand they continue using all their tools to investigate RFK Jr. cap switchboard: (202) 224-3121

BREAKING: Fox News ends its polling program after pressure from FCC Chair Brendan Carr and Pres. Trump

I can tell this site needs more sports knowers because everyone's been yelling about canceling Disney+ and Hulu all day and I literally haven't seen anyone yelling about canceling the new ESPN app, which was just rolled out and the success of which is existential for ESPN.

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

I enjoy making DOS-inspired interfaces with a bit of a human touch

“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.

"meaningful personal donation" this is literally financial extortion lol

if your mental image of the word "wizard" is anything that would NOT be airbrushed on the side of a kickass van, someone has failed you

variety.com/2025/tv/news... This is what corporate collaboration with a fascist takeover of a formerly liberal democratic country looks like: Jimmy Kimmel Live Replaced With Charlie Kirk Tribute; Sinclair Demands Apology

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

People want everything to be a binary between dooming and “we’re so back” but I’ll just say this is both a really troubling attack on press freedom and an open admission that your regime is fragile enough to feel threatened by Jimmy fucking Kimmel

congrats to joe brandon and all the purported defenders of democracy who normalized cracking heads on student protestors in order to cover for israeli genocide. you really greased the skids for ol donnie trump to formally submarine the first amendment

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

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

Shit is not about to get bleak. It's as bleak as it's ever been. It'll get better, but it requires perseverance. Persevere. Do it out of spite, do it out of love, i don't give a fuck how or why. Do it. Continue. Live, goddammit. These cocksuckers have nothing but fear to leverage. Show them none.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Every #union member on any Disney ABC show now in production should call in sick. #boycottDisney
