In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

Dit zijn de fascistische partijen in Nederland in september 2025:

Barack Obama has been extremely cautious about using his voice to comment on most of the issues facing America since his presidency. The fact that he has been raising it so frequently lately should tell you something.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

David Letterman on his career mocking presidents: “Beating up on these people, rightly or wrongly, accurately or perhaps inaccurately, in the name of comedy—not once were we squeezed by anyone from any governmental agency, let alone the dreaded FCC.”

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.

A.I. Is Coming for Culture We’re used to algorithms guiding our choices. When machines can effortlessly generate the content we consume, though, what’s left for the human imagination?

If A.I. continues to speed or automate creative work, the total volume of cultural “stuff”—podcasts, videos, books, songs, articles, films, shows, plays, online personae, and so on—will increase. Will human-created content be able to cut through the noise?

Wat verschrikkelijk om @vvd Yeşilgöz te horen of Wilders dat mensen zich niet kunnen herinneren hoe het huidige kabinet de boel heeft verneukt.
