If ABC wants to defuse the situation and show the world they believe in free speech they will finally start airing The Boatniks on Disney+. All of the outrage over Kimmel will die down immediately I’m sure.

We liberals are America!
I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Kash Patel says the FBI has NO information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors to anyone other than himself.
SEN. KENNEDY: "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?"
PATEL: "There is no credible information, none ... that he trafficked to other individuals."

They each became involved in the progressive world, too. Bob became a major figure in the NRDC environmental group. Paul, who made it on to Nixon's enemies list, later was a part owner of The Nation magazine. They were each gracious, smart, and engaged. They entertained and enlightened.
One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

"It always made me feel less alone." I've heard this said by other MST3K fans, and I think it's just about the most gratifying thing you can hear about something you worked on.
Recently I got to talk to Bill Hader about his love of bad late-night movies and #MST3K in particular. Find out his surprising connection to MITCHELL, and whether he was going to be involved with the most recent incarnation of the show, in this fascinating and very funny Q&A.
