Not truly left wing. Most are social liberals who get scared about being labeled "left" the moment someone "radical" comes along who doesn't condone genocide and thinks healthcare should be a human right or that *gasp* the wealthy should be properly taxed.

I don't think she has a shame gene.

And he looks at the camera for the punctuation.

what if it really is rapture day but there was only one person virtuous enough and they remained virtuous by living a quiet, solitary life and so nobody has noticed they’re gone and we’ll never know the rapture happened

Interesting. I should try to locate the cat. She's pretty awesome and I haven't seen her all day.

I get it. I don't think we did the hep b either. After my kid's reaction to the first MMR dose, we didn't get the 2nd, but because school mandated it later, we had his titers drawn, and he was fully immunized via the first dose.

Employment Situation Summary - 2025 M08 Results

Which is really weird since, at least in the US, the latest jobs report specifically noted that the loss of jobs in the oil and gas sector had weighed down the whole report.

"...gain in health care was partially offset by
losses in fed gov't and in mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction."

Acetaminophen (paracetamol) use, measles-mumps-rubella vaccination, and autistic disorder: the results of a parent survey - PubMed The present study was performed to determine whether acetaminophen (paracetamol) use after the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination could be associated with autistic disorder. This case-control study use...

I am not antivax, but I did read this study years ago and wondered if my son's horrible MMR reaction and our subsequent tylenol use might have caused his autism? NOTE: The study does have its critics - see the other articles referenced.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!

I am NOT antivaxx but my son had a bad reaction to the MMR & we gave him children's tylenol. He later was diagnosed autistic. I read a study years later that suggested it was this combination that might be at play, and NOT the MMR vaccine itself. The study does have its critics.

My family did that last night to our three accounts. Best way to tell Disney that we won't be back. They could never do enough to make this right. We'll see how they act over the next ten years. I'm not holding my breath.

I believed it too. I graduated into that 1991 recession, started my career after college at $5/hr and worked my way up, only to have my company fold in 2001 at the dot com crash, next job was half my salary.

Clinton is responsible, and Obama too for not holding anyone responsible for 2008.

Kimmel had been a needle in Trump's side for the past decade. It's just that Nexstar has a $6B merger pending and Trump wanted his cut (Kimmel) through his FCC heavies.

They just used the thinnest of reasons to get it.

It's a precursor to suspending elections - just watch.

It's a start.

If we ever make it past midterms, I want subpoenas for everyone involved not just with this, but with any suppressing of free speech - something these knee-benders screamed about under Biden.

And it's not just this - it's the CHILLING EFFECT it puts on ALL speech right now!

DO SOMETHING

100%. It's about the merger. It's always about the money.

Came here to say this - I don't want to see another Senator or Congressional rep streaming about how offensive and/or dangerous this is. We already know that.

I want to know what they're going to do about it - you know, since they're in a position to hold power to account.

They were just looking for an excuse, and merely mentioning Kirk's name in less than glowing terms was it in this environment.

They've been aiming their arrows at Kimmel since 45's administration.

... of course. I should have thought of that. If it happens, it will likely be a woman, and possibly a person-of-color at that.

Again.

Wish some of my fellow middle-aged white men would lead the fight for a change. But I guess that would be asking for too much.

I wish we didn't need one. I don't think any billionaires care about free speech rights *that* much - not enough to jeopardize the contents of their money vault.

It's because it wasn't about that. That was just the excuse.

Yup. Every time I think, "ok, maybe this is the start of something," it turns out to be nothing because most people aren't paying attention or just don't care.

Video Reveals Power Of Sinclair, As Local News Anchors Recite Script In Unison Sinclair Broadcast Group owns more than 190 local TV stations across the country. The company recently began instructing local anchors to read a script denouncing "fake" news.

I'm old enough to remember Sinclair's earlier capitulation:

I notice that the ABC, Nexstar, and Sinclair statements don’t specify what Kimmel said or what was offensive about it, which I would very much like them to try to verbalize.

Probably, but I wonder if they're legally obligated to pay his staff? Colbert said he had what - 200 employees? I bet Kimmel has the same.

How many media companies are there?

Cable outlets and DISH / DirecTV probably pay ABC/Disney enough that boycotts won't really matter.

I canceled my cable news package when MSNBC got rid of Joy and Mehdi, but getting rid of cable altogether would be difficult because of family. We did just delete our Disney (Hulu/ESPN) accounts.

The problem is it takes a lot of money to start a network. Which is why MSNBC isn't really the opposition - they have financial interests which have to be preserved as well.

Fox's real opposition is on YouTube and Twitch - which the administration already started threatening.

Bravo. 100%.
