It sounded like Kimmel was driving a pretty hard bargain on coming back on the air—Disney was begging him, not the other way around—so let's hope this is interesting variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

Throughout my life some things have been much cheaper than I anticipated (washing machines), others much costlier (curtains!), but finding out that one week of respite care in a Suffolk care home is £1,950 has blown my mind in a way that hard drugs could not.

The Russians are gearing up for a major offensive in the Donbas. What are its chances of success? The result could be critical to the outcome of the war.

UK set for highest inflation in G7, OECD says.

Real average wage hardly moved since 2008. Profiteering is the main cause.

Start with controlling price of energy, water, rents. Even better nationalize energy and water, build social housing.
Inflation to surge and growth to drop in fresh economic blow to Reeves
With a difficult Labour conference to come next week followed by the autumn Budget, the OECD’s conclusions have come at a bad time for Rachel Reeves

Flying the flag of Palestine was always legal, despite what our local council told us - we challenged them to test their opinion in court and they refused, in the end they just stopped talking to us .

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Because that's not how America works.

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’

Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros.

The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it
