a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

On this we agree wholeheartedly.

Pitch to Netflix: a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when a late-night comedian gets yanked off the air by the FCC and the world rallies to depose a dictator. Call it "The Hard Way." I hear Pedro Pascal might be interested... #jimmykimmel #fcc #nokings

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

I continue to feel that our national experiment of making the dumbest MF in the country president was ill advised.

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

When will these leaders start calling for a general strike? It might be the only thing that will stop this.

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer.

Yesterday some PHAC employed got a notice of termination. Just in WPG at least 2 directors and 4 research scientists got the letter. At a time that Canada should invest in PH and research we will be loosing capacity for research and fight infectious diseases.
Not a great day

Who did this?

Intriguing. Which crime do they intend to commit first?

Canada needs to fix its massive measles outbreak and the solution is simple:

mandatory school vaccines - no more conscience/religious exemptions.

@rmcarpiano.medsky.social:
“provincial school vaccination requirements are far weaker than most US states.”

"'I'm sure that there are people who are infected who are not being detected [and not being] treated,' Moody said, but...not everyone needs to be tested regularly and that just high-risk people should test more frequently."

It's a nasal swab, not a spinal tap! This reticence to test is baffling.

Since the onset of Covid, we've been quietly steeping in a culture of eugenics. Thousands of immunocrompised & disabled people have retreated from society because it's no longer safe. Their very existence is ignored. Is it a surprise that people look the other way now? No, it was quite predictable.

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful.

Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood.

We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

This photo of Oz, RFK, Makary, Prasad and bhattacharya is dark.

The perfect merger of “respectable, evidence-based medicine” with rank equals and grifters, all for political power.

Anyone who enabled these men in any way owns this moment too.
