6 panel comic P1: a close up of Charlie Brown, looking characteristically world-weary, as he rest his chin on the top of a brick wall. The art is black & white --done in a style replicating Charles Schulz's style-- with a texture on the page to give the impression of being on aged pulpy paper. Charlie, sighing, asks "you ever feel like life doesn't make any sense..." P2: we dolly back to reveal who Charlie is speaking to. Imagine a character that looks about as wrong as possible for the Peanuts universe. Every single element of their design is "wrong." P3: a closeup on the entity, as it leans its masked face toward Charlie and says "answer in the affirmative, and confirmation that i, too, feel this to be so, charles brown" Even their very speech bubble is wrong, with its sinuous tail coming directly out of the knife slash of a void that is its "mouth." P4: we dolly way back, revealing the full extent of the wall, which sits in the middle of a grassy plain. Shadowy trees and buildings sit on the horizon, while clouds tower high into the sky. P5: same scene, only now the wall --including Charlie and the entity-- begins to float into the air. P6: we are now high into the sky, clouds filling the left half of the panel. Rising above the clouds, Charlie and the entity float away to who knows what fate. Charlie gives a token "good grief"

China is now buying $0 from us — and soybeans are Tennessee’s #1 cash crop. Why don’t @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn etc. care? 😕

Vaclav Havel wrote about the importance of pointing out the law in a totalitarian society - it may not help in a situation where the government makes and enacts laws willy-nilly, but calling it out keeps the insanity of it all in the open for all to see.
…But precisely because they know how desperately the system depends on it-on the "noble" version of the law, that is-they also know how enormously significant such appeals are. Because the system cannot do without the law, because it is hopelessly tied down by the necessity of pretending the laws are observed, it is compelled to react in some way to such appeals. Demanding that the laws be upheld is thus an act of living within the truth that threatens the whole mendacious structure at its point of maximum mendacity. Over and over again, such appeals make the purely ritualistic nature of the law clear to society and to those who inhabit its power structures. They draw attention to its real material substance and thus, indirectly, compel all those who take refuge behind the law to affirm and make credible this agency of excuses, this means of communication, this reinforcement of the social arteries outside of which their will could not be made to circulate through society. They are compelled to do so for the sake of their own consciences, for the impression they make on oue siders, to maintain themselves in power (as part of the system's own mechanism of self-preservation and its principles of cohesion), or simply out of fear that they will be reproached for being clumsy in handling Ihe ritual. They have no other choice: because they cannot discard the rules of their own game, they can only attend more carefully to those rules. Not to react to challenges means to undermine their own excuse and lose control of their mutual communications system. To assume that the laws are a mere facade, that they have no validity, and that therefore it is pointless to appeal to them would mean to go on reinforcing those aspects of the law that create the facade and the ritual. It would mean confirming the law as an aspect of the world of appearances and enabling those who exploit it to rest easy with the cheapest (and therefore the most mendacious) form of their excuse.

This is how local TV ownership breaks down in Seattle:

KIRO: Paramount/CBS (Canceled Colbert)
KOMO: Sinclair (Cut off Kimmel AND demands he donate to Charlie Kirk's family & co.)
KING 5: Tegna which Nexstar wants to buy pending FCC approval. (Cut off Kimmel)
Fox 13: Fox (was Nexstar until 2019!)

Why have I not seen one Seattle news outlet localize what the Jimmy Kimmel thing means on the local level? Because it means a lot.

Sinclair - the company that did this to him - owns KOMO. And they're bowing to the FCC so they can merge with Nextstar/TEGNA, which just bought KING 5.

I find this extremely chilling:
I spoke w a reporter this morning about Kimmel. (Reporter was / is great) They got back to me a short while ago to say they sought White House comment & WH demands to know first which experts they spoke with. I told reporter I'm happy to be quoted IN THE STORY but 1/x

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

If MAGA is making the argument Kimmel deserves to be fired for saying something incorrect and thus violating FCC guidelines, well then, so be it.

You also have to cancel Watters, Gutfeld, and Ingraham, who all said without evidence that Kirk's killer was the far left and incited a lot of hate.

HAPPENING NOW: We’re at 26 Fed Plaza, where ICE has been kidnapping immigrant NYers, to demand access to the 10th fl - where people are being inhumanely detained - and to block ICE vans from leaving.

We refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. Neither should our leaders. #ICEoutofNY

We’d be in a much stronger position right now if mainstream Democrats had taken a common sense stand for First Amendment principles instead of piling on undergraduate standing up for Palestine.

Most notably: RFK, Jr.

And customer notice requirements are patchy, so people may not even know about it when their fluoridation stops.
