Stranger in a Strange (Noor)Land...

Happy New Year to all who celebrate.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The fact that they’re afraid of Colbert and Kimmel tells you how important mocking them is. Our megaphone certainly isn’t as large as late night hosts, but we can all do our bit.

Never has there been a wider gap in looks between an actor and the person he's portraying than Robert Redford playing Bob Woodward.

Belated RIP to one of the great thespians of his generation.

I just got fired for not mourning Robert Redford enough.

‘The whole thing is screwed up’: Farmers in deep-red Pennsylvania struggle to find workers They’re pushing lawmakers to move faster on a farm labor solution, even as the president cracks down on immigration.

I really expected farmers to have a better understanding of the whole reap-sow relationship.

“'The whole thing is screwed up,' said John Painter, a three-time Trump voter who runs an organic dairy farm in Westfield. 'We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.'”

A whole bunch of guys named Tyler Robison should probably turn their phones off today.

But not freedom of speech? Let’s start with that loud foul mouthed freak in the WH then.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Two things that are true at the same time:

1. Violence is unacceptable.

2. Violence is the natural - and foreseeable - consequence of actions taken by the right, making it difficult to feel empathy for the the people being forced to live (or die) in the world they created.

Deeply worried that the American Troubles have begun.

They warned him not to hold the event so close to the book depository.

He was shot in the throat while answering a question about mass shootings. Cue the Alanis…

Oh, so guns *do* kill people? Gotcha.

So now we’re blowing up ships without provocation to distract from Epstein?

Families’ horror at funeral director who kept babies’ bodies at home Woman barred from Leeds mortuaries after one mother said she found dead baby propped up ‘watching’ cartoons

She seems nice...

"A funeral director has been banned from working with hospitals in Leeds after a mother said she was left screaming when she found her dead baby propped up 'watching' cartoons at the woman’s home."

Donald really puts the dick in dictator.

Can we PLEASE stop interviewing children who've just lived through a shooting?

Florida spent $250,000,000 to inhumanely imprison immigrants in a swamp for a few month. Thank goodness Florida doesn't have better uses for that money.

On top of being utterly immoral, fascism is just plain old expensive.

These same men insist a maximalist interpretation of the second amendment is imperative to resisting tyrannical government. Yet as our fellow citizens are snatched from the streets by masked government agents, and soldiers roll into our capital, they insist it's not tyranny. (2/2)

America has killed thousands of children to appease the blood soaked delusions of white men who imagine themselves crossing the Delaware with Washington, but actually have trouble crossing the Walmart parking lot. (1/2)
