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.

Pretty clear that a lot of people jumped the gun on the motive behind Kirk’s assassination. The shooter:

1. Grew up in a Republican family
2. Donated to Donald Trump
3. Loved guns
4. Was steeped in Groyper culture

This isn’t a simple “raging leftist hated Kirk” scenario.

The Murdoch Settlement reminds me of my favorite thing in the family's battle: the transcript of Rupert's attorney trying to undermine son James' ability to run Fox News by pointing out that he didn't understand Fox News' business model was telling viewers what they wanted to hear, not the truth.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

“We’re on it”? What do you mean “we’re on it”? DRILLING FOR OIL ISN’T SOMETHING THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY DOES. EVER. WHAT ARE WE DOING. *throws things*

max lays on the floor at his house and looks up at the camera with some side eye. he does not look remotely contrite. maybe just a little sleepy.

This is Max. He snuck out in the middle of the night and walked 5 miles to get a breakfast burrito from a store that gave him one once. They hadn't opened yet when he got there, but Max was found the next morning thanks to his GPS collar patiently waiting outside for his well-earned snack. 14/10
