An extremely good point here to casual family users of this mess. You create AI content of you/your kids with Dis characters and upload/host it on Disney’s servers… you know that means Disney OWNS YOUR LIKENESS and may very well sell/exploit it with you having ZERO say? Just sayin…

British poster from the 1910 general election.
It was made by the Budget League, a "pressure group formed in 1909 by Winston Churchill to publicly campaign in favour of David Lloyd George's People's Budget":

Everyone’s gonna die someday. Trump may die sooner, and when he does, I worry there will be a genuine explosion of violence by people who will be enraged by the celebrations, a deepening of the rift.

Stephen Miller is to blame for the evil ICE is doing. Trump is to blame for listening to Miller. The Republican party is to blame for supporting Trump. MAGA voters are to blame for re-electing Trump. There's enough blame for all of them to share.

I also have a conspiracy theory that Liam Neeson's story that got him in trouble, the one about wanting to kill black people because a friend was raped by one... my theory is that it didn't happen. He made it up because he needed to promote another boring revenge thriller and didn't think it through

More information could come out and prove me wrong, but I think the assumption for all celebrities, until proven otherwise, is "Saw a paycheck and took it." I suspect also Liam Neeson will deal with whatever fallout comes from this by simply not acknowledging it until it goes away

We'll see what happens with this, but my suspicion is that this isn't a political statement so much as it is what happened with Bill Burr and those other comedians at the Saudi festival: He saw a paycheck and took it.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

I think this is right. It’s like when a family has decided to tolerate an abusive drunk. They know what he’s like and they’ve priced it into their decisions and they don’t want to hear you talk about it.
Yes, Fox makes people dumber, but I think many of you underestimate how many Trump supporters go to Fox because they already know he’s terrible and they don’t want to hear about it
For my own edification, I started watching Fox News. Their audience has no clue about any of Trump's failings. Any thing negative will not be reported, or if it is, it'll be cast as a false accusation made by evil Dems.

I know several Ivy League graduates who fell for the narrative. It's nuts.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵
