Sen. Chris Murphy: "Trump's FCC forced a major network to pull a loud Trump critic, Jimmy Kimmel, off the air — essentially saying that any media actor that doesn't say what Trump wants them to say...is going to be silenced. That's censorship. That's not America."

Here's a cheap approach for generating procedural AO/Edge/Cavity masks: 👀💚
Compare the normal map to the mesh normal to highlight edges where they diverge, wont work as well at a distance though

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.
There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Averaged out, a journalist has been killed every 3 days since the conflict began.
To state the obvious, Western journalists, writers, and filmmakers need to talk more about our colleagues being murdered in Gaza and the West Bank. You can do it from pure self interest if you want: every journalist murdered with impunity is a precedent which is headed in your direction

We no longer have a functional Supreme Court and people (especially those in power and in the media) need to start plainly addressing that fact.
