CBS is Trump TV. Less than two months after CBS News suddenly pulled a report on the regime’s prison camps, CBS lawyers told Stephen Colbert that he couldn’t air an interview with a Texas Democratic candidate.

This is what complicity looks like.
Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air interview out of fear of FCC
Colbert kicked off Monday's episode of "The Late Show" by saying that the network's lawyers told him he could not have Texas state Rep. James Talarico on the broadcast.

This weird and wonderful Greek amphoriskos (flask) depicts a bird-man, but the explanation is astonishing. It almost certainly relates to Aristophanes' famous comedy 'The Birds' (first produced 415/414 BCE) and may represent a costume worn by members of the chorus. 🏺 #ancientbluesky

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.
You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The actress Michelle Williams reads Britney Spears autobiography and let me tell you..she should have won a Grammy for her impersonation of Justin Timberlake impersonating a Black dude.
It also gives people with reading disabilities access to rich text that they may not otherwise be able to access. And everyone that dosage disagrees needs to listen to Kate Winslet read “Matilda.”

That's not the way it works. Again, it's a political move with midterms not based on any sort of financial or legal reality.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Boo Radley has gone to the great beyond. His work enriched my understanding of film so much. My condolences to his family. 🪽💔🪽
There were so many roles, he was truly a monument of American culture. But the role that touched most deeply was one in which he was largely absent from the camera, and spoke no lines, and yet was a presence throughout - Boo Radley in "To Kill a Mockingbird."

It's a sad day. Adios, Mr. Duvall.
Actor Robert Duvall has died — he brought a compassionate center to edgy hard roles
Duvall appeared in over 90 films over the course of his career, imbuing stock Hollywood types — cowboys, cops, soldiers — with a nuanced sense of vulnerability.

What I appreciate about Blue Sky is people being able to present their opinions rationally. Thoughtfully. Like this:
continue the DHS shut down beyond when they say “ice has reformed“ - because terrorism cannot be reformed (lawless people don’t suddenly start following new laws)

… obviously we could continue having TSA, and anything of value under a different federal agency.

It would save billions 💰

President Zelensky warned that allowing Russia to seize territory would repeat mistakes made since 2014 and earlier conflicts. He said Putin cannot be stopped with concessions and claimed Russia is losing 30,000 to 35,000 troops a month.
