District Judge Royce Lamberth in D.C. blocked the Trump regime's order to halt construction of the Revolution Wind project, stating that the project developers are likely to win their lawsuit against the regime and are “likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction.”

BREAKING Sinclair Broadcast group which owns 31 ABC affiliates says it will continue to preempt Jimmy Kimmel’s show.

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,

It's a good "these just aren't very bright guys" reminder that he could have just NOT done the tariffs and left the economy largely alone and taken credit for a whole lot of continued good news and instead did all this

Last week, Disney/ABC caved to Trump administration pressure. Millions of Americans helped them find their backbone. Whether you watch Jimmy Kimmel or not, today's decision is a victory for free speech. We've reached out to WABC to reschedule the town hall.

An article from a site called "Clean Tech Times" about Charlie Kirk and Big Oil money is trending in r/energy on Reddit It's a completely plagiarized, unauthorized, unlinked version of an article I published the day before I have no idea what to do about it except complain. It's so fucked up.

This is, I think, the best push alert and makes me wonder why this directness isn’t the norm.

The Mouse has agreed to return Kimmel to the air. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

“Under a third of American adults are Trump voters, and 53% are Trump disapprovers — with 48% intensely opposed.”

They've lost the median voter (Jewel Kilcher of Homer, Alaska)

A good illustration of how traditional journalistic neutrality runs into trouble with Trump, these people are required to live in a Trumpist halluciniation that demands they invent and believe total fictions to remain in good standing bsky.app/profile/mmas...

someone said of Wikipedia: “it is a thing that does not work in theory but turned out to work in practice”

It is telling that on this "SUN Day" where we celebrate the promise of renewable solar energy (www.sunday.earth), the NY Times runs fossil fuel-friendly op-ed promoting a "technofix" that would actually DISRUPT solar energy (www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-h...). (h/t @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social)

That's right. What's more alarming is ~97% of the current highway storm drains in the United States were designed using rainfall information that was published in *1961* using 1930s-1950s data. We're using infrastructure built for the rainfall of nearly a century ago. engrxiv.org/preprint/vie....

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

I would like to read a deep dive reported piece on how tech CEOs stopped being clean energy boosters and became fossil fuel promoters. It feels like it happened with the Silicon Valley radicalization, but saying that feels very squishy to me.

Watching Futurama with my daughter, and realizing how many references she is missing, calling some out. ...and realizing this was probably like my parents watching Rocky & Bullwinkle with me. Which I still massively enjoyed, but am sure did not get all the references.

Disney execs hastily assembling Andor S3 about a group of charismatic Coruscant businessmen who just keep their head down and work with the Empire until the Battle of Endor and then say they were actually against the Empire all along and everyone cheers

I hope this revelation about Disney adult influencers standing against fascism boosts their public reputation cause I know several Disney adults and they’re all really good people who just like whimsy and wonder and fun and don’t deserve the negativity thrown at them.

New from me: I got an early peak at the new show at Boscobel, which not only upends previous narratives about the origins of the Hudson River School but features the work of contemporary artists whose work explores the thorny intersections of landscape and culture in the Hudson Valley.

JUST IN: The law, opposed by police organizations, was aimed by lawmakers at immigration agents and will test state powers over the conduct of federal officials.

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. . Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.

idk if disney/sinclair/nexstar understand how bad they fucked up by angering the disney influencers. i don’t fear god or kpop stans but i do fear disney adults.

HOW GOOD IS THIS This is how you speak truth to power and use your privilege.

My entire approach and they just skeeted it right out there

Happy 71st Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Can confirm that cancelling your Disney+ subscription feels better than reading the news.

Besides the effects on the tech industry, right now there are H-1B holders—people—who built a life in the US. If they are traveling, they have 17 hours to get back to the US, or the life they built will be shattered and taken from them. Can you imagine constantly living with this uncertainty?

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

I get the political take but it's also an unethical take given the anti-abortion legislation kills pregnant people. We've gotten to a point where we've forgotten that the role of politics is to actually make society better. Just like the role of economics is to help socially allocate resources

This is amazing.

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

New Otter just dropped. www.earth.com/news/scienti...

This is a very good book if that isn't clear Maddening. Enraging. But good. And the bits that are really eye opening is not the racism which you expect but learning that KKK recruiters were motivated in part because they got a cut of the membership dollars for every person they signed on

The recommendation from the West Coast Health Alliance of Washington, Oregon, California, and Hawaiʻi is that all adults get the flu and COVID vaccines. www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/PREVE...

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

Jacobs must resign as chair of the NY Dem party if he cannot support what Dem voters have chosen. He should resign today, or continue to do very serious damage to the party. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/n...

“Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman.” Ok then!

This is so messed up.

It’s possible to make things better! (A hopeful reminder that I need frequently.)

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

The next vaccine that I'm excited for is the Valneva Lyme Disease vaccine, which they likely will be applying for licence in 2026 after nearly a decade of development. valneva.com/research-dev...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I think the answer is that the government directly threatening ABC to force a firing would be a First Amendment violation but ABC being cowardly assholes complying in advance in their moronic quest to satisfy Trump is not.

Not sure what I'm more surprised about here -- that Tesla is taking some kind of action on this issue, or that it revealed the action to the press, which its leadership detests Either way, proud of my former colleagues at @bloomberg.com, esp @danahull.bsky.social! techcrunch.com/2025/09/17/t...

1) New paper! Replacing US fossil-fueled vehicles & appliances with electric versions could improve health & climate outcomes, but could cost up to $790 billion in distribution grid reinforcement. Strategic demand-side management could cut 2/3 of those costs.🔌💡 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Some killings you're allowed to joke about.

I am super impressed by the MTA app for metro north trains, which in addition to letting you purchase tickets has real time assessment of how full different cars are on it.

Set aside any personnel disputes The big stakes behind today’s CDC hearing: the fate of the childhood vaccine schedule — Monarez says RFK Jr told her the schedule would change asap and she had to be “onboard” — She says RFK Jr told her he talks “every day” with Trump about changing the schedule
