Yesterday, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel due to jokes that offended cult leader, convicted felon, and failed President Donald Trump and other conservatives.

That seems unusual that he never talked politics with friends and yet consistently argued with his dad about them? How do you become “indoctrinated” without [...]

The assumption that right-wing lunatics don't engage in relationships with transpeople is a fallacy. Like many other right-wing killers, his politics lack consistency. I don't [...]

MAGAs have turned woke and sensitive and now demand political correctness. However, this effort is not being led by university undergrads but rather by top government officials. In addition, I provide a few thoughts about social media in light of the recent attention the medium has received.

Thanks for your summaries. I find your synthesis work very interesting. Often find links to news I hadn't seen. Like the Zuckerberg hot mic article. [...]

Weblog Entry Troff document (with manpage macros) The Suppression of Free Speech Following Charlie Kirk's Death by Jeff Steele, last updated: Sep 16, 2025 12:04 PM
Charlie Kirk's murder has been used to justify one of the most widespread suppressions of free speech in U.S. history. While currently aimed at preventing critical views of Kirk, this is part of a trend led by convicted felon and failed President Donald Trump to control discourse and prevent dissent in the United States.

Please explain how the words of Matthew Dowd and Karen Attiah (the two most prominent people fired I believe) were "celebrating." I do not see [...]

Honestly, that would really depend on the specifics. It would also probably depend on other variables. I could imagine an employee celebrating in such a [...]

I'm still going to nitpick you because I think you are falling into a dangerous trap. Republicans do have a principle that it's okay to [...]

Mostly agree, but do think it’s important to recognize that both parties share an underlying principle: it’s ok to fire/cancel people for expressing political beliefs [...]
