"There is no 'autism epidemic.' Autism is a developmental difference that has existed as long as human beings have." -ASAN executive director @colinkillick.bsky.social.

Spread the word: Tylenol does not cause autism. But reproduction sure does!

A Solution to Abuse of Executive Power Both parties have misused presidential power. Congress must act to end it.

In the wake of the president’s abuses of power, it won’t be enough for politicians to merely orate about restoring the rule of law. The only way to overcome that skepticism is with action.

2/ The government punishing broadcasters or intruding into their editorial processes for refusing to air a program is just as harmful as punishing them for airing it.

Two wrongs don’t vindicate a constitutional right.

1/ Broadcasters have a First Amendment right to decide what programming to air. If Congress is worried about the federal government shaking down broadcasters, it should investigate the government, not the broadcaster.

The remedy to government interference in media isn’t **more** interference.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

By the way, you can in fact run a media business where people give you money for goods and services. 56k+ people give The Onion ~$100 and we give them a year of newspapers. This business didn’t exist last year in this way. People will pay for good shit. Now’s the time to break glass and go for it.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest:

Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes

ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! From the Air ‘Indefinitely’ The decision follows conservative backlash to a comment the late-night host made about Charlie Kirk.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

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.

The death of free speech.

They can’t win fairly with policy or eloquence or fairness or intelligence so they’ll just silence everyone who disagrees with them. It’s fascism but in its most cowardly and pathetic form.

On "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday, Sept. 10, Brian Kilmeade, one of the hosts, said that one way to deal with mentally ill homeless people who wouldn't accept services was "involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em."

"The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said. "In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving," he added.

Which show was threatened by the government before being pulled?

The answer might (not) surprise you.

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.

It can’t be true if we hide it from you.

Within weeks of coming to power, the white nationalist regime flew in Afrikaners as refugees from what the regime's leader called an anti-white "genocide" - while at the same time shutting down asylum and escalating their purge of non-white people they declared "alien enemies."

Not very subtle.
