Even "unproven ties" is sane-washing this. How about "thoroughly debunked ties?" Or "completely fabricated ties?"

Cuba has "virtually no autism" because it also has "virtually no modern medicine" with which to diagnose autism. Let's not focus on the fact that our own economic embargoes targeting Cuba led to the current medical picture there.

Quite a map...

Hear, hear. The FCC is a joke of an agency with Carr at the helm. But then again, that didn't stop Ajit Pai from continuing in the role...

Truth Social? There's a non-zero chance that tomorrow's Kimmel taping is targeted with a drone strike...

"When you make sh*t up and claim it's science, people who actually do science get really loud about it."

Screams while discussing logical fallacies and how clearly RFK Jr. doesn't understand them...

The WORST possible thing that can happen for Disney's credibility is for Kimmel to do anything other than come out swinging Tuesday night. Kimmel has the chance to stick it to Disney. He doesn't have to do anything other than pull a punch or two. Everyone will assume he's been censored.

Translation: We know we screwed up. We've modeled our losses and we're confident that we'll suffer less by putting Kimmel back on the air.

I can think of no better tribute to Charlie Kirk. If you're MAGA and don't have a Charlie Kirk memorial tattoo, what are you waiting for? Seriously: own the libs by getting one of these on your chest, side, or back. If you REALLY want to piss off the libs, get it on your forehead!

Cypher enjoying the sun - but his body position reminds me of the 8-bit oxen in Oregon Trail. I jokingly said it looks like he might have died of dysentery...

Checks out.

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.

Now that you've canceled your Disney+ subscription, you have some extra gambling money.

This is dumb on so many levels. Like what's your endgame here? You're with someone you had to trick to date you? And you think they'll be cool with it? Do you think you'll "convert" them to your side? Absolute delusion.

I’m spending this week with my godmother, who is a 94 year old Holocaust refugee. She says “I didn’t escape Nazi Germany to deal with a country like this. The Nazis were scary, but at least you knew what to expect. This government is worse.”

This seems like a problem for OpenAI's business model.

The real pickle of the Disney self-own with Kimmel is that even if they walk that back, they'll still have bent the knee. The damage with so many of their customers is already done. Is it irreparable? If they put Kimmel back on the air, MAGA (and Trump) will punish them too. They made their bed.

I think Disney made a bit of a miscalculation.

I'm embarrassed for whoever runs the Fox News Twitter account.

Why even ask a question you already know the answer to. The corruption runs so deep...

This doesn't need to be true for it to be museum quality art.

Sad for the state of our country.

it is not owed to the dead to launder their reputations or gloss over their misdeeds. in fact, it is owed to the living to prevent these things from happening.

The alt text on this is 🔥🔥🔥 - trust me. Separately, I've never seen a couple so in love with one another...

No, I will not celebrate this evil, vile, man who knowingly distributed hateful lies, intending to fuel hate in others. If you think he's so great, own his words. Own his entire body of work. Be proud! Go on record yourself saying "this is what I believe" and post it. Anything less is cowardice.

CNN has an important story: The New York Times has reported something previously reported by MSNBC.

If this ridiculous policy doesn't get TACO'd (and I think it will), the new Silicon Valley will be in the country that can make a case to absorb tech workers and foster innovation the fastest.

"The new TikTok: where the For You Page is all white nationalist propaganda"

i’ll amplify that shit charlie kirk was a racist transphobic neonazi creep

If you would like for me to come to your conference or convening and give a 45-minute rant about what makes good digital privacy trainings and guides, particularly for high-risk populations, hit me up.

Deeply. Unserious. People.

Cancelling disney (and paramount) is working. Keep it up. It is painful at first but after actually you do it, it's ok. They offered 6 months for 2.99/ea and I didn't take it. NOW is the time to cancel and be heard.

It's wild to me that Disney did this AFTER seeing Target suffer. Did they just think "we're different. What happened to Target can't happen to us?" Bold move if so...

Even if you take the most lenient possible interpretation -- that SCOTUS has made it increasingly hard to prosecute bribery and corruption -- you still have to ask what kind of crooked-ass administration hires a guy who just took $50k cash.

“With a single post or video, we can influence thousands of guests to try a food, drink, or experience in the parks,” she says. “I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep giving them free publicity knowing they don’t support free speech and are willing to bow to fascism."

Pour one out for the Secret Service folks who will now have to spend time pretending this constitutes some actual threat.

Calvinball!

I'm taking archery lessons at the range around the corner from our house. One of the instructors is super methodical. I said "you'd make a great cybersecurity analyst." Turns out he's a software engineer working on OS internals at a cybersecurity company and we know a bunch of the same people.

I'm calling a TACO on this H1B nonsense. This program will look VERY different than the administration's current plans by the end of the year. I don't say that to minimize the impact it will have on people, their families, and the businesses that employ them. Only that this isn't workable policy.

That's a shame, I was hoping to learn more about Charlie Kirk's message of peace, love, tolerance, acceptance, and appreciation for the variety of human experience.

Earlier this week, Sinclair said it would replace "Jimmy Kimmel Live" with a documentary about Charlie Kirk during the Friday time slot that Kimmel occupies on its ABC affiliates. Friday evening, Sinclair pulled the documentary and aired "Celebrity Family Feud" instead.

Proof that @katmabu.bsky.social literally rocks.

Epic.

I agree on both. I’m just not sure how long it will take to get there.

Read this thread. Then spread it.far and wide so others see it and benefit from it too.

Illegal, vulgar, crass, and narcissistic all at once.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

I cannot stress enough how much this is not going to work.
