All right, I got mad enough to write a full post about all this:

Alternate headline: “47% lie to pollsters”

The latest example of the Streisand Effect: "Colbert’s Talarico Interview Is Now His Most-Watched on YouTube in 3+ Years". latenighter.com/news/stephen...

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview: "And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on." He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

Quickly followed by the Trump-Epstein Trials.

Goldman: "If Trump wants to put his name on everything, as he does, then let's start calling this the Trump-Epstein files"

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

And yet, every day, our most prominent Democratic politicians, scholars, public intellectuals, universities & university leaders, & other civil society organizations continue to use his platform as their primary social media outlet. One cannot help but notice this & draw conclusions.

We are the laughing stock of the world.

Rob Shaw: Autism funding reversal leaves 10,000 B.C. kids with less support

Stephen Colbert had Democrat James Talarico (running for Senate in Texas) on The LateShow. Trump's FCC goon called CBS and told them they couldn't air that interview. CBS pulled the interview out of fear/fealty. So Colbert put the whole interview up on Youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.

Stephen Colbert blasted Brendan Carr after FCC scrutiny led CBS to pull an interview with Texas State Rep James Talarico. Instead, 'The Late Show' posted it to YouTube.

Children have spent more time in prison than the child abusers named in the Epstein Files.

I would dearly like one single day in which I do not encounter AI in any form, and in particular no AI so-called discourse. Apparently that is too much to ask

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

If you died and came back as an old timey moonshiner, you could call it reintarnation.

Hey, @newsweek.com, all of this sucks. The “critics” are plainly right, and Holman hasn’t “refuted” anything. He just denied it. He’s lying, but at best it was a false statement. No shortage of evidence either.

Musk is a malevolent force in American life, driven by white nationalism and incredibly influential given his obscene wealth. He's a supervillain. But people get that. He's deeply unpopular, with an approval rating in the mid-30s with Trump. We just need political leaders willing to take him on.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

A government of the assholes, by the assholes, for the assholes.

I've heard good things about this show.

“what we’re witnessing is…on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, & Chinese labor camps…The admin is actively aspiring to a system of that magnitude to reshape society to its racial, political & cultural prefs for generations”

Not going to lie, this is happening faster than I predicted, and I’m glad that it is.

TIL that the motto in the arms of South Cambridgeshire are in Dutch. They're the only civic arms in British civic heraldry that are in Dutch. "Niet Zonder Arbyt" = "Nothing Without Work"

Herb Carnegie was so good with the Quebec Aces that his teammate Jean Beliveau copied his skating and stickhandling style. Considered the best Black player to never play in the NHL, he had a big impact on hockey. Oh, and he was a champion golfer. This is his story! 🧵 1/10

I know I never want to visit the US.

Water’s not a pollutant either but you can drown in it, you absolute moron

Maybe we rethink the knee-jerk use os the word "allegedly". Let these crooks and pedophiles bring their defamation suits and have full disclosure of the evidence to the world. No coincidence that the twice impeached convicted felon, who loves to sue people, hasn't sued anyone for calling him a pedo

Whoever said “never meet your heroes” never met Jim Robson. Spent an afternoon with him in 2019 for a story with @danburritt.bsky.social, and he showed us his old notes, took us to where he called games at Pacific Coliseum, and was as patient and kind as could be. What a wonderful human.

@deadder.bsky.social has so many great cartoons:

You know who can also testify as to what was happening with Epstein and don’t need clemency? His victims.

Legend, indeed! And on top of that, such a wonderful human being. RIP Jim. You were a real beauty!

If another elected Democrat tweets about how ICE is going to be at the polls intimidating people, the next sentence better be, "and here's what we're planning to do about it." And please stop bringing a rulebook to a knife fight. This isn't 2015.

At least DinoCon’s doing the right thing.

Are we 100% certain that Kid Rock and the MyPillow guy are two different people?

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

What strategies have Democrats considered to prevent Donald Trump from stealing ANOTHER election this November? It’s clear he’s not opposed to use DNI, FBI, ICE and other government agencies to cheat. If their goal is restoring DEMOCRACY, isn’t protecting our safety as we vote the TOP priority?
