Having to explain gaps in your work history should be banned b/c: 1. Nunya! 2. You see all THIS shit you companies are doing?! YโALL are the reason why workers have large gaps in their work history! 3. Look, do you want a qualified employee or not?! Quit asking useless shit!
The full 28-minute Jimmy Kimmel monologue. Please share.
Carney emotionally recites Leonard Cohen: "Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There's a crack, a crack in everything. That's where the light gets in." In every moment where there's a crack, there is possibility. It's our opportunity as Canada in this moment to find it.
Oh I wasn't saying there was sympathy It's was more of a public service announcement - to try and save other dumb asses before its too late, and they're eating up our tax dollars on hospital treatments !
At the UN General Assembly, Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Tuesday called for a criminal investigation against U.S. President Donald Trump and other officials involved in this monthโs deadly strikes on boats in the Caribbean that the White House has said were transporting drugs.
My friendโs autistic friend said: โ'I'd like to let you all know that I now consider autistic a slur, and I want to be known as a Tylenol-American.โโ
I call bullshit. They are just making shit up now and while we are at it there are legitimate questions about Tyler Robinson now as well. Starting with he didn't have a rifle when he went up the stairs to the roof and he didn't have one when he jumped off the roof.
He really took that McSweeney's essay to heart
In a world challenged by crises, the EU and Latin American & Caribbean States are creating space for cooperation. Today, 60 countries, representing a third of the UN, choose dialogue to advance trade, multilateralism, and opportunities.
holy shit lol. What a weird thing to post ahead of a Kimmel show that will have a gargantuan audience.
I would like it very much if people could please stop calling our administration โpsychoticโ people experiencing psychosis are generally MUCH nicer & far less dangerous than this administration It hurts some of my favorite peopleโs feelings &/or is unfair to them thank you in advance ๐ซถ๐ป

Reality. Truth. Facts.
PM Carney pays tribute to outgoing ambassador to the UN Bob Rae: "Bob Rae is a stalwart. He's a steady hand. A steady hand because he is always guided by principle. He is so often Canada's voice of conscience and conviction."
"24-year-old hospitalized as decade of vaping triggers lung collapse" "A man who vaped for nearly a decade is urging young people to quit after his lung suddenly collapsed. Raymond Dehn had been vaping since the age of 15...diagnosed with a spontaneous pneumothorax." www.msn.com/en-ca/health...
Making tRump walk up a flight of stairs is getting awfully close to attempted murder. Iโm surprised he made it!
Iโm autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. Iโm autistic because thatโs how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.
And itโs official. Mike Johnson is now on an island. This will be the 218th vote to release the Epstein Files.

De Niro: "I gotta go. A couple cases of Tylenol fell off a truck and now I gotta figure out how to put autism in them."
Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Were Trump's speech writers aware there is an unwritten but acknowledged '15 minute speaking limit', regardless of who you are? He blathered on for so long, criticizing every other country and leader, climate change is a hoax, America is the best, nothing like us... www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FtI...

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah
"Another plaque states the statue is meant to 'celebrate the long-lasting bond' between Trump and Epstein (The Secret Handshake)"

Fewer than 10% of Germanyโs โฌ83 billion defence plan is going to the US, Politico reports. Nearly all major contracts - frigates, Eurofighters, air defences, armored vehicles - will go to European suppliers. Only limited buys like Patriot missiles and P-8A torpedoes come from the US.

They're trying to be respectful by recognizing that you're a person first, and not just a disability label. They don't know you, so they don't know your preference
Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.
The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Both Sinclair and Nextstar syndicates are also behind this. Sinclair and Nexstar have quietly been buying local news stations around America and doing a Fox News conversion to conservative content. Find the Sinclair and Nexstar stations in your area AND TURN THEM OFF.
OLIVER: โIโd argue @disney & Bob Iger need to stand by @jimmykimmel and his staff โ history is also going to remember the cowards who knew better. Giving the bully your lunch money doesnโt make him go away, it just makes him come back hungrier each time.โ ๐ฏ
If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.
Now if Disney/Hulu really wanted customers to return they would make a big ass donation to PBS! We want to see some contrition!

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

This is minor if you arenโt an ICE flight tracker, but Iโm also revealing here for the first time that the sneaky GIV that has been doing ICE flights to Africa since mid-August is operated by Paradigm Jet Management. I obtained FAA docs proving it. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...
