You can be mad at Jim Comey for what he did to HRC in 2016 and also decry any potential indictment as bullshit. You can do both.

Greetings from Scotland

New in PN: Trump posts his Watergate tapes "People! The man literally used his social media platform to tweet out a demand that his attorney general prosecute his opponents, ones he’s already characterized as 'guilty as hell.' This isn’t 'venting.' It’s criminal."

NEWS: Trump seems to be implying he is going to sue ABC for bringing back Jimmy Kimmel. This is why you never bend the knee to a bully.

I was just blocked by someone who posted that they "check" news sources for bias by asking AI after I replied kwith receipts) that AI notoriously gets facts wrong in response to those kind of inquiries. So there's that.

happy autumn equinox from me and prince rogers nelson.

So Sinclair is your affiliate deal with ABC like the standard deals when I was in local TV? If you choose NOT to air any ABC show, ABC gets to offer it to another station in your market(s)? In other words you just gave a network show to one of your rivals in 86 markets?

Once you bend the knee, there's no good way back. ABC is about to discover that nothing short of firing Kimmel will satisfy Nexstar & Sinclair. Kimmel fans & defenders of the First Amendment will not forget how willing Disney h ABC were to throw them under the bus. And 47 will always demand more.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

We brought back Kimmel! Now please ignore everything else we've done so we can increase the price of Disney+ and continue to take your money!!

gofund.me/c77639364 Updated with not so great news - thank you for sharing 💗

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

The audiobook of Rock 'n' Roll Manifesto is out! It's got a hidden bonus track (although how hidden is it if I'm posting about it?) & cool guitar bumpers from the amazing Troy Dexter. If you like music (or basic joy), I think you'll dig it. www.amazon.com/Rock-Roll-Ma...

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?

Libra: Congrats on never settling for less than you deserve. Ask us how we know your partner isn't a Libra.

Taurus: It’s great that you have a 5 year plan, but maybe 4 of the 5 years shouldn’t be, ‘Scream repeatedly into the void.’

SORRY THESE ARE LATE I WAS BUSY TRYING TO DISTRACT MYSELF FROM THE TERROR OF BEING ALIVE

If you see this post a selfie of you and your pup!

My mom asked if I'd heard about Jimmy Kimmel. She's worried. She told me to leave my devices at home if I went to the States. Why is my mom worried about me being punished for speaking my mind? Because the Nazis occupied her country when she was a child. She's been here before.

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

Unexpected good news! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Holy shit. Trust me you want to watch this.

The right wing is telling us that Project Lightspeed, which developed mRNA vaccines against Covid-19, was a huge success for which 45 should have gotten the Nobel Prize. Also, mRNA vaccines should all be banned. Plus, Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

If @kamalaharris.com had been elected, you wouldn't have to know who was picked to lead the ACIP panel. You wouldn't even have to know what the ACIP panel is.

He hit it out of the park.

Your post says this action "represents 'jawboning'" but your headlines dilutes that to the weasel phrase "may amount to." This is particularly disappointing in a story about media organizations bowing down to authoritarianism. Do better.

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

I get (or rather got) Hulu free as a perk from T-Mobile. Hulu wouldn't let me cancel on their site & T-Mobile kept reinstating it on their site. I finally called T-Mobile customer service, who said "why cancel, it doesn't cost you anything." (More)

I'd just add that Jimmy was fired for pushing back on right-wingers who spent the first 36 hours after Kirk was shot insisting with no proof that this was the work of trans people and left-wingers. We're in a Golden Age of Gaslighting and need more people who stand up for the truth.

Yesterday, I started a sentence with "I was seriously thinking of" and then couldn't help but say "hiding the receiver but the switch broke 'cause it's old." Am I a little too proud of that? Maybe. Do I regret it? Not for a second.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

Honestly, no one, absolutely no one should be asking, "what the hell is going on right now?" The only appropriate question is, "why when people told me this was what was going to happen did I just tell them they were overreacting?"

Respectfully disagree: this trajectory was obvious since 2021. This account said repeatedly (on Twitter): if we don't prosecute Jan 6 to the top, we may lose democracy. Because it was a planned attempt to seize power, and letting people slip by will just embolden them. They will try again. 1/

Out of curiosity, if I'm getting Hulu for free from T-Mobile, does it still cost Disney anything if I cancel? I know I'm not giving Disney any money, but is T-Mobile paying for individual subcribers?

Imagine discovering Ezra Klein doesn't have the integrity of *checks notes* Tucker Fucking Carlson...

It’s astonishing and scary to watch because generally when Trump meets resistance he eventually moves on — he doesn’t want to be seen taking the L. He tests the fences and goes away. Instead here, he tests the fences and they just… take the fences down for him.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

They are literally canceling culture

The thing about being an artist is that sometimes you’ll have a really silly/cursed image enter your head and spend hours of your life drawing it. Hours you’ll never get back.

An old Finnish phrase to describe sunshowers (simultaneous sun and rain) is ketut kylpevät. It means “foxes are taking a bath.”

A whole lot of people are coming for @angryblacklady.bsky.social today for saying "do not put your name on a list of people attending a protest, what the fuck" with responses like "you're just discouraging people!" and "but they already know who you are!" and "DON'T LET THE TERRORISTS WIN" etc

This is Finny. He doesn’t go chasing waterfalls. He carefully studies their timing and arrives in advance. 14/10 very impressive (TT: jordancain70)

Up for a few hours in the early morning with what felt like a fever. Seems like it was a mild side-effect from my Covid and flu shots (and a very small price to pay.) All better now and happy for the additional protection.

I would very strongly urge everyone who can to get an updated Covid booster in the next few days. This goes especially for people in Republican-controlled states, but also those in solid blue states. Please take care of yourselves as best you can! arstechnica.com/health/2025/...
