"Fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an ideology" is a great line

New poll finds staggering number of parents now reject childhood vaccines Parents who homeschool their children are the largest demographic to delay or reject childhood vaccinations, followed by parents who are white and very religious, according to a new Washington Post-KF...

Absolutely abhorrent.

“New poll finds staggering number of parents now reject childhood vaccines.”

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

Amazing to think, organizing during the civil rights / anti-Viet-Nam-war era was done 100% offline.

Oh good someone better than me wrote this.
HIM is a mess. I haven’t felt this confused mid movie since I saw a screening of The Devil’s Rejects and honestly The Devil’s Rejects is better because it’s intentionally meaner. This is a hollow disco ball pretending to be a fabergé egg

HIM movie review & film summary (2025) | Roger Ebert Putrid and hollow, Justin Tipping’s brain-dead football horror film is incomprehensibly bad.

Justin Tipping’s Jordan Peele produced horror film HIM is astonishingly dreadful.

This is no time for doing things half-way. If something is wrong, is wrong and call it for what it is. Hateful. Hurtful. Inconsiderate. Let them know and let THEM feel the shame. And lets help, whichever way we can, those in need.

Has the time come to die for what you believe in? Never thought I would need to convince people that empathy and compassion are necessary virtues to live happily and let other be happy, yet here we are… When we call out those that are hurting our livelihood, now we get shunned? Censored? Step up!

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

I liked when the ugly late night drama was Jay Leno hiding in a closet.

Disney has Tron: Ares, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, Rental Family, Zootopia 2, Ella McCay, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and Is This Thing On? opening this year. I hope the talent involved in these movies curtails all planned publicity until the company reverses its decision about Kimmel.

ABC immediately caves to tiniest bit of gov’t pressure. If you don’t defend basic free speech rights, you’ll lose them. Simple as that.

Gov’t hasn’t just threatened us at media matters, they’ve actually used power against us. We don’t fold, we fight in court. If we can, ABC has no excuse

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Free speech means hearing shit you don’t want to hear. If everyone on both sides understood that, we wouldn’t be in this cancel culture bullshit.

‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Once Again Aims To Help Working Actors Get Health Insurance With New Casting Notice Jimmy Kimmel wants to help actors get health insurance with a new casting notice for his talk show

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue

Re Kimmel, it's important that Disney has left itself an out--it is a "suspension," not a cancellation or firing. What happens in the next two days--reaction within the company but also in the press, in the industry, in Washington, among consumers, and on social media--may affect how this plays out.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Kimmel will be a wake-up call for a subset of people who previously didn’t really think it was that serious. But I think we’re going to have these moments indefinitely until the fascists are no longer in power.

I know we’re all Online (probably chronically) but what truly makes me sad is that this still isn’t the tipping point. And I have no idea what it will take for the average American to wake the fuck up to what’s going on.

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?

Late-night's giggling toadie

The killer was a Cis-White, Conservative, Republican man - every suspect they had before him was the same and yet the threats were made against HBCUs…

No respeto ni tolero el racismo.
No respeto ni tolero la homofobia.
No respeto ni tolero el fundamentalismo religioso.
No respeto ni tolero a todo aquel q condena a nuestra sociedad dejando las cosas como están.

Creo en la esperanza, la paz, la democracia y el cambio.

En Puerto Rico se le da el poder (x medio del voto) a los mismos que celebran, exaltan y aplauden la violencia política, la corrupción y el vínculo con el bajo mundo.

La alternativa de salir de este lodazal la hemos tenido SIEMPRE en la papeleta.
