Jimmy Kimmel’s “as I was saying” opener wasn’t random—it’s a callback to Jack Paar. In 1960 Paar walked off The Tonight Show after NBC cut a mild “WC” joke. 3 weeks later he returned, opening with the same line. Kimmel nodded to one of late night’s boldest moments. Brilliant bsky.app/profile/ever...

Whatever else you think of him, I don't think he is insincere about this stuff, and it should be recognized as extraordinary that he, Pritzker, and other governors are talking about the federal government in these terms. It's not normal political rhetoric, it's the language of existential emergency.

It's up! youtu.be/WX105mvSQ8o

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

It's very strange that this is being covered as a funny story about the president of France having to call POTUS about not being able to get to his motorcade. Reverse the rules with our president in any other country and I'm sure it would be covered in a completely different way.

You'll notice Charlie Kirk is not mentioned

👍 now do the orange turd in the White House

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts. Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

This is good, but so many studies were likely crushed by the delay/uncertainty.

Call me old fashioned, but aren’t both parts of this relationship currently, uh, married to other people?

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE. Jimmy Kimmel is coming back, but there’s a bigger picture here. Nexstar and Sinclair own the most local ABC stations in the country. Both are waiting on FCC approvals for business deals that could shape their future.

I feel like a pretty good rule of thumb is don't take drug advice from someone who can't pronounce the name of it.

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

He betrayed his oath as a physician and sold out the country when he voted to confirm RFK Jr, knows damn well he’s a dangerous quack, but keeping Trump neutral in his primary is his highest priority.

Walgreens confirms to me that they, too, will provide Covid vaccines without a prescription nationwide if CDC formally adopts ACIP's recommendations. (Please note that, for both CVS and Walgreens, this change is still contingent on that formal adoption!) Explainer has been updated to reflect this.

For those who’d like to watch in addition to reading, John Oliver’s segment on Sinclair also a great summary of how evil they are: youtu.be/GvtNyOzGogc?...

If you're against anti fascists, you're a fascist.

Not a solitary citation to law. Any law. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

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/

This just in from Sinclair: "Beginning Tuesday night Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."

Analysis: Charlie Kirk's memorial service was a melding of religion and politics unlike any seen before. Or perhaps it was proof that the line that used to separate them may no longer exist.

Notably and unusually, neither Fox News or Newsmax is carrying Trump's autism press conference live

So I just recorded a Spider-Man collector box opening for my YouTube channel. It'll be up within a few days - editor @casualsuspect.bsky.social is super fast. But I need to tell you that I went on a tirade about spider balls. It was in the context of drawing/anatomy, but still. You have been warned.

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

😱

I wonder if anyone was shorting Tylenol today...

Folks Wait a few days before declaring victory on Disney.

I just can't.

Anyone looking to help me offset MCAtlanta costs by buying this extremely sexy card? (Honestly, the comic book back is so epic that I am having a hard time letting go of it.) $200 to pick up in Atlanta, Venmo or Paypal cool.

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

"The $42 billion initiative, created by Biden's infrastructure bill, aimed to close the digital divide, with a focus on rural communities. Trump’s changes to the program have disqualified hundreds of thousands of locations from receiving internet access..." www.newsfromthestates.com/article/fewe...

Bob Iger has a real chance to be a hero here and say “Fuck you. Make me.” to the FCC by reinstating Kimmel. I’ll sign back up for Disney+ if he does. Until then, keep canceling your subscriptions!

And these people still aren’t promoting actual socialism. The media is now using “socialism” as Republicans have defined it, and I hate that.

“This is not just a warning. It should be a call to action…It may seem impossible to unravel an expanding mafia state, but let’s not give up our belief that when the majority fights back, such lawlessness and hostility can’t endure.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Yes, “the worst of the worst.” Drug traffickers. Predators. 73 year old Sikh grandmas who sew saris and pay taxes www.bbc.com/news/article...

They are running this ad in blue cities in blue states. It’s propaganda intended to create an “internal opposition force”

4th deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the others: -in area US military operates freely -arrest low risk -no legal rationale -violates international law -no evidence of who US hit If really traffickers—very much an if—the move is interdiction. Would get evidence and intelligence.

This administration’s staggering corruption is dangerous beyond belief. And it’s a complete slap in the face to every single family working hard to put food on the table.

Sometimes I wish I were - not super wealthy - but just wealthy enough that I could do this: (A video I made for a friend)

The fact that the community kept this subathon going this long is a testament to how engaging, entertaining, and just plain great a streamer @amytheamazonian.bsky.social is. Truly deserved! (Break also truly deserved.)

An Arizona man is facing felony charges for threatening to shoot up a gay bar to avenge Charlie Kirk. He was convinced the shooter had "transgender ideology." Fortunately, he was stopped, but this is on the media for running with the erroneous WSJ reporting. www.azfamily.com/2025/09/19/p...

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

#MagicConAtlanta is coming up. Can't wait to see you there! Come find me for games: my main goal is to play with as many beloved friends and strangers-who-will-become-beloved as possible. Also, stop by my meet and greet Friday morning at 10:30am with the rest of team @magicjank.bsky.social !

@moxfield.com I know I can download txt files of my decks individually, but, being the paranoid weirdo I am, adding on the fact that I have so many decks, and given how long I have spent on the decks and their sideboards, I would LOVE a way to just download all my decks as a single file.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?
