Time to be politics for a minute because this has been on my mind.
Firing Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert and professors and pilots for speech is not a violation of their first amendment rights. It’s 100% legal. But this is still a first amendment problem. Why? It’s the fear. >>
Jimmy Kimmel is suspended indefinitely over comments about Charlie Kirk

What did he say? The MAGA gang are trying to avoid saying that the shooter was one of theirs

Meanwhile, Trump's still in office after declaring the shooting to be the fault of the 'radical left' with no facts to back it up
ABC Suspends ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ “Indefinitely” Over Charlie Kirk Comments
The network’s decision comes after affiliate group Nexstar said it would pull the late-night show, and the chairman of the FCC suggested he might take action against ABC.

Crazy think that the thing that gets me to delete tiktok is the move to a US company. I’m -fine- with Chinese surveillance at this point.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Amazing to me that Panama played a part in this. Shameful and sad.
UPDATE: Nearly 100 migrants, recently deported by the United States to Panama where they had been locked in a hotel, were loaded onto buses Tuesday night and moved to a detention camp on the outskirts of the jungle, several of the migrants said.

Back in August I was in pain 24/7 and sleeping on a camping pad on the floor. Today I did 45 minutes pain free on the trainer for the first time since. Recovery sucks, but injury sucks more.

Working backward from a pretty clear “this is the experience I want” to “this is the code/infra I think I need to make it real” can be a _real_ slog.
