But let’s be clear: every day, masked ICE agents are acting violently against our neighbors, illegally abducting them, holding them in cruel and inhumane conditions. Treating them as less-than-human, and not deserving due process.

We have a whole generation of voting adults who do not remember or know that ICE was created post-9/11

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Disney/ABC put Kimmel back on air. Sinclair & Nexstar are blocking him. These are state-licensed stations funded by ads, not Disney. Pressure advertisers, file FCC complaints, and push back on corporate censorship. #FreeSpeech #NoKings #Kimmel

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's a little too early to tell...but this was the case w the ICE shooter, Kirk shooter, even w the United CEO shooter. Young men who didn't fit clear political boxes

Bring back the public editor for the love of god

Listen to the experts. Listen to your doctor. Listen to your body.

Odysseus had his crew lash him to the mast to keep him from doing an interview with Chotiner.

Chotiner: So you chose to kill your slavewomen as well as the suitors who had taken over your home. Why? Odysseus: Well, I was in a frenzy understandably, plus they had probably slept with the suitors. C: Ah. And as slaves did they do this voluntarily? O: I didn’t ask because C: They were dead?

Sorry but parking "cops" are good, unarmed civil servants rightly ensuring access to public spaces remain accessible. I own a car and almost never get parking tickets because I park correctly and in consideration of other people who need curbspace.

The primary argument for cancelling Kimmel is that he jumped on information about the motivations of the shooter too quickly.

I deal with this a lot, more than anti-vax. It’s the same playbook as human wellness/SCAM. It tends to rope in very well meaning and usually pretty smart pet owners just trying to do their best. And with the skyrocketing costs of vet care (thanks private equity), trust in us is at an all time low.

Really important message from @mattxiv.bsky.social: "i just want to say that autism is not Bad, some of the most famous and influential and creative and intelligent people throughout history were and are autistic, and" (1/2)

Everyone’s writing stuff on ammunition now. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Seems like he is the only person on the planet who was actually able to take the temperature down a notch while giving a basic and necessary civics lesson.

Kamala Harris on Mamdani: Look, as far as I'm concerned, he's the democratic nominee and he should be supported.

What if Jimmy Kimmel acted like the whole Charlie Kirk thing never happened and spent the whole segment on Epstein

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

I've read ABC's full statement and I was on the fence about cancelling but I'm cancelling. Yes they reinstated Kimmel that's great. But as far as I can tell they said nothing about instituting a clear process of what counts as crossing the line, so this could happen again. Similarly,

Why oh why is Mayor Pete supporting this car-brained NIMBY

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/

The funniest part of this is acetaminophen is the (perfectly safe) drug. Tylenol is a *brand*, and by attacking the brand and not the drug, the US government has just given Kenvue a massive gift when this goes to court. Their lawyers are likely drooling right now.

Today, most (if not all) of our patients had COVID/flu symptoms. GET YOUR SHOTS PEOPLE! Ignore this nonsensical administration #VaccinesWork

Repeatedly, Tr*mp said pregnant people need to just suck it up and suffer during pregnancy rather than taking Tylenol. I cannot emphasize enough that he has no medical or scientific training and is in no position to tell any of us what medications to take or when.

Nah

We are led by absolute idiots

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

Just a reminder that, despite what these freaks would have you think, antivaxx is extremely unpopular and we need to attack them relentlessly for putting insane dipshittery over our health

Consider donating part of the cancellation savings to PBS.

this is actually my great frustration of walking around in new york.

The fact that people think “YIMBYs have already won, so can we move on from zoning” shows us: 1. YIMBYism has been extremely successful from an elite persuasion standpoint (in large part because the facts are on our side) 2. there’s a different world out there offline that people don’t appreciate

In 2024, abortion beat the Democrat on the ballot in Florida (+14), Arizona (+15), Missouri (+11), Nevada (+16). In 2022, it gave us a "blue undertow" that staved off the full red wave.

lmao

Projects like that didn’t stop being profitable all on their own, overnight, apropos of nothing. Many of the creative decisions behind this were made *against* profit motive.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

Terrific piece, especially this part.

Oh my god his wife is dean of the USC School for Communication and Journalism “board members have expressed their concerns internally over the optics of holding a free speech event at the home of the man who yanked Kimmel off the air” Interesting conversations prob going on in that house right now

LLMs reflect the biases in their training sets, so without concerted effort they will always reproduce human biases.

I’m sorry but I think folks can often be too harsh with Sarah. 95 Ds voted YES bc of leadership, why single her out so often? She got elected statewide in Delaware. Her path is challenging and this time is terrifying. I think the disagreements w/ her can be less personal. I care about her safety.

Wrote about how California needs to get serious about the urban disorder our failure to build housing has created.

This brings back memories of a Twitter thread that went like this: Person A: My car got bipped in San Francisco! Person B: You deserved it for parking a car in SF! Person A: Would you say the same if it were your bike? Person B: I would be glad if someone stole my bike. They needed it more.

There goes the First Amendment.

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

sensing a theme lol

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

scramble you little shits, scramble
