Fantastic. Thank you!
The headshot is sending me. She's the Joan Didion of soliciting dick pics from people who want to outlaw rabies shots
Never done a River watch! I'd love that.
Walz was the right choice.
And Smith came around when I introduced my now wife to the show (she has now made it her mission to find excellent Star Whale art) so he just has a special place for me.
Right? Each one offers something different! I love me some Eccleston, but the Family of Blood two parter with the woman from Spaced and the little Love Actually boy? That's perfect TV.
1. Classic or 2005? 2. Which season? 🤓
John Barron, prolific pollster.
Shocked but not surprised to learn how many ~titans of industry~ who probably think of themselves as brave ballsy businessmen are actually cowardly pieces of shit when it counts.
Also, not afraid to block anybody who wants to come here and argue the generational age borders. I have no time for that because I'm mocking a fascist.
Who's making money off of this nonsense?
They very much think they will be in power forever.
That man is only 46. He's a millennial. Look. Look at what hate does to you.
This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.
And, knowing house democrats, they would probably spend a week trying to come up with a clever acronym for the resolution that will really stick it to the bad guys or something....Not that they shouldn't do it, but we all know where it ends.
They just would. And then they would forget about it and the American people would forget about it and not a single voter would hold it against them because their voters aren't swayed by anything because politics is sports to them and you back your team. Bad refs.
See, you can chew gum and walk at the same time. Fantastic.
They really spackled him up for this one. He must not be well at all.
And let's be clear: I also like Bluey. In fact, you should all go watch the banned "Dad-Baby" episode on YouTube.
Watch Wild Kratts with your kids and then go to the zoo.
I hope this is true I hope Trump allies have just fooled themselves into thinking that they will never be out of power. The Third-Reich lasted 12 years, about as long as Trump has been on politics.
They know people hate all of this. They know it makes them unpopular. The GOP isn't practicing fascism for the votes. They aren't looking for votes. They're looking to never leave.
Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."
And for parents who are afraid of their kids revolting over Bluey: The PBS Kids app is free and the shows are so much better. Your child will be fine.
Go the distance.
This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.
Also, 100% Leno voted for Trump.
How quickly he forgets Leno.
Didn't the ACLU go out of their way to defend that little creep when people wanted to shut him up?!
Let me just say a simple thing. Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy. If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.
This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.
The Third-Reich lasted 12 years and these yahoos aren't half as capable as those monster were.
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
That man is only 46. 46. Don't be a hateful shitbag, y'all. It's bad for the skin.
At first I thought, "Brendan Carr is like 60 years old, why is he shitposting like that?" and then you learn that he's only 46 and the hatred has just aged him like an old lime at the bottom of the fruit bowl.
Honestly, the way they self-censor their own internet to protect their feelings and maintain their alternate reality, I don't doubt he couldn't find anything.
Daniel Tiger, Wild Kratts, Arthur! PBS is free. You don't need Disney and you'll thank me when you never have to hear the "hot dog song" again.
I had to tell my 2 year old this morning that Mickey, Pooh, and Bluey are gone for a while. I've never needed @pbs.org more. Wild Kratts is more fun anyway.
They'll hold out their hand to you while stepping on your face and ask you why you don't want to take their hand.
Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.
This is such a weird and desperate fabrication. I'm sorry the assassin wasn't who you wanted him to be, get over it.
Also, never stop reminding them that he never said anything about Kirk, he was talking about the shooter.
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH HIS HAND?!
Why are you so insistent on challenging a pretty common sense idea: Don't put your name on a fucking list.
Also, again, at no point was he maligning Charlie Kirk or celebrating Kirk's death. They will rewrite that history.
Is a group of sex pests called a swarm?
Of all the times for Matt Damon to STFU...
Sisyphean
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.
One thing that bothers me tonight in particular is how so much of this is happening because of grand and sweeping capitulation by the media, by companies, by Congress, by people in power. Even when they don’t have to — they simply comply, acquiesce, and appease.
This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.
does anybody else feel like they are watching a mass psychosis
They can't stand mockery. Please increase all mockery. Thank you.
The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”
A fantastic reminder to make them use the whole words. Acronyms are great and catchy, but they dehumanize. Say anti-facist and make them oppose it. Say Diversity Equity and Inclusion and make them oppose it. Don't let them dehumanize important ideas.
Pritzker: "Everybody should be saying that ABC should reverse their decision."
You almost get it...almost.
Sorry buddy, Mickey's Clubhouse was raided by ICE and we can't watch it anymore because fuck Disney.
I guess I'm going to tell my son that Bluey didn't like America and went back to Australia because fuck Disney.
No YOU ugly cried to @alanismorissette.bsky.social singing a song in a cartoon that might never come back but was also set in the same state and environment that you grew up in....
Disney caved to Trump so quickly you'd think he was China.
just eat the bay leaf. nothing matters.
A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
Trump's administration is surging federal officers in Chicago — not to improve public safety, but to create chaos. Officials came here for a few hours for publicity, then left without providing any answers or information. I'm asking you to join me in demanding answers.
The domestic terrorism version of, "If we stop testing for COVID, reported cases will go down".
The "don't tread on me people" have become a bunch of dumbasses who fly that flag next to "thin blue line" flags with no grasp of irony.
KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this? PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information? KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI
Don't trust a protest that NEEDS to know who you are.
I'm so fucking excited to vote for this person.
Ben Shapiro sucks, but it's also hilarious that Ezra believes he is some sort of equivalent thought leader. Most people on the left learned about Ezra Klein last week and they didn't like the introduction.
Legacy. It's all his mind can still grasp. He NEEDS you to care about his ballroom. It's his last chance at anything "lasting". They'll have to mention him on tours. His name will be on official stuff. He needs it to happen because he's terrified he'll be remembered poorly or worse... forgotten.
I'm pretty sure @greatnorthfox.bsky.social helped me survive the post-COVID world.
I don't condone bulling, but someone needs to shove this dweeb in a locker.
The Tobins are ready to rock 🤘 The two-episode season finale of #TheGreatNorth arrives tomorrow at 9/8c on #FOX, next day on hulu!
Moving on from a victim of gun violence after less than 48 hours, just as Kirk would have wanted. 🥺
Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.
We’re ruled by weirdos.
Not just excusing, telling them they're good and correct.
The reaction to Kirk’s murder on the right is a reminder that Republicans are the most bad faith people on the face of the planet.
have spent the last 12 hours in some sort of pre-grief for what's clearly coming, an imperial boomerang with x-ray vision now unconstrained by whatever law we had left
It’s disturbing that the President is hellbent on sending troops onto America’s streets. Using those who serve in uniform as political props is insulting. None of this is normal.
The Evergreen High School shooter’s social media accounts were filled with white supremacist content, posts exhibiting a fascination with mass shootings and reposted videos that “were explicitly antisemitic or depicted people in Nazi uniforms. coloradonewsline.com/briefs/everg...
Strange. Boebert did this exact same thing at Beetlejuice and was kicked out. I assume because she was only using the one hand?
Praising China for their lack of due-process would be a 2 week news story in any other administration. Alas.
People keep calling Kirk his "Friend". He has no friends. He has tools. Kirk was his way into colleges. Now he's a useful tool for Trump in a different way.
. @govpritzker.illinois.gov shares his frustrations and his hope for the party’s future.
HitlerSuckfest1488: "This has radicalized me."
BREAKING: A majority of Brazil’s Supreme Court panel has voted to convict ex-President Jair Bolsonaro for plotting to overturn the 2022 election
Joni Ernst is LITERALLY afraid to do her job anymore because she might do something to upset Trump and his army might hurt her. That's how her political career ends.
There are so many different BBQ sauces now. And hot sauces? No your thing? Vanilla bean paste is available at most normal grocery stores now!
Hey, you know how CBS News is getting turned into a right-wing propaganda hose? If this goes through, the same thing will happen to CNN. However bad you think CNN currently is, it'll get so much worse.
I'm not an expert, but begging the government to stop kidnapping and murdering doesn't seem like "extreme rhetoric".
You do not, in fact, have to give it to him.
Awesome news today! Potential biosignatures on Mars!
It’s gonna be so weird watching establishment dems be performatively sadder about this than they were about the colleague and her husband and dog who got shot and killed
