Kimmel’s back—proof that public pressure can make a difference. But folks in our region won’t be able to watch tonight because KOMO’s owner, Sinclair, refuses to air the show on its ABC stations.
It’s corporate cowardice to censor programming just because the president doesn’t like it.

Remember the protest on the bridge in Ohio that resulted in an officer beating a protester in the face?
It was because ICE took Ayman Soliman, a chaplain at the children’s hospital.
Other chaplains have been fired for speaking out on his behalf.
He’s been kept in solitary.
Unimaginable cruelty

NEW: Ayman Soliman is locally renowned for helping the families of dying kids.
Now, friends say he’s been "tortured" in isolation as the Trump administration tries to deport him.

My latest newsletter is about the tech industry's desire for control over their customers, and how that, in turn, leads into worse products that are harder to understand.

no amount of free money is going to get people to have children in a stagnant society of rampant corruption and dwindling opportunity
It's interesting because despite Hungary's much-touted Orbanist pro-family and supposedly fertility-inducing policies, such as exempting families with 3+ kids from all income taxation, the Hungarian fertility rate has plummeted right into the toilet in the last few years
