Colbert's cancellation is a dark warning CBS's decision marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large.

The move to cancel one of television’s last remaining crown jewels of broadcast programming came just days after Colbert publicly criticized CBS’s corporate owner, Paramount, for agreeing to pay President Donald Trump $16 million to settle an outrageous $20 billion lawsuit against the company.

My wife is a Democratic State Senator in Vermont. My mind reels at the idea that people like her, who dedicate so much time & energy to serving the public, are being targeted by homegrown terrorists, encouraged by the federal government to treat political opposition as an enemy to be eliminated.

a digital poster made of colorful, mis-matched cut-out paper letters. the message says "Gen AI makes you look goofy as hell". digital text below says "do it yourself, pay an artist, steal judiciously." at the very bottom, in red text, it says "have a little self-respect."
