People like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk aren’t tech creators — they’re tech colonizers.
Rich white men who used privilege and capital to seize an industry built by real innovators, exploiting the minds and labor of creators while branding themselves as “visionaries.” #Pinks

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.
In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

In the TV context, the joke is attributed to Jack Paar (1960), but Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. made the same joke in 1857 in the very first issue of The Atlantic Monthly.
(His "Breakfast-Table" columns were a continuation of essays he had written for a different publication in 1831–32.)

ABC's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live marks yet another step toward autocracy and all eyes should be on those doing the capitulating — in this case, Bob Iger, CEO of Walt Disney (ABC's parent company). Kara tells @andersoncooper360.bsky.social what happens next.

Interesting idea actually
Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.
This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.
