Americans Are Trapped in an Algorithmic Cage
The private companies in control of social-media networks possess an unprecedented ability to manipulate and control the populace.

Here’s the thing with sports: when you’re in the high-pressure playoff spaces, it might feel like hell. But that’s the greatest thing about sports fandom: you get to feel it. You get to live and die. Feel it, live it, embrace it. You might never forget it, and how many things are like that?

I wonder if Kimmel knew he would be that emotional in the monologue. I'm glad. He could have been a bulletproof smartass, but instead he was a human who was genuinely touched by the support he received in the face of actual authoritarian bullshit, and he was appropriately mad about the bullshit.

CBC’s About That w/ Andrew Chang does a really good job explaining the FCC’s role in the Jimmy Kimmel purge and why that is very bad here:

David Letterman on his career mocking presidents: “Beating up on these people, rightly or wrongly, accurately or perhaps inaccurately, in the name of comedy—not once were we squeezed by anyone from any governmental agency, let alone the dreaded FCC.”
