You know brick fire station training towers with all the stairs in. Until incredibly recently I thought these were look out towers so fire people could see where the fire was by getting up high and looking for the smoke.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

This is the state of play. This is how anti-trans hate can affect everyone. When the wife of a world leader is not immune to having to prove she's a woman to satisfy bigots, what hope do most trans and non-binary individuals have of being able to live our lives in peace

Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos
X post by Milo Yiannopoulos: "28 pilots have been suspended or fired so far after I made their airlines aware of gruesome remarks made about Charlie Kirk’s death. Of the big three, Delta has the biggest problem by far; United the smallest."

I will not be able to comprehend what happened to this woman’s career.

She drew a line where so few others seem willing to.

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”

When police arrest someone for projection, it’s because they subconsciously want to do it themselves.

Can't we agree to reserve 'defect' for the act of a sitting MP and refer to cases like Caulfield as 'changes direct debit'?

Maria Caulfield, former Tory health minister, defects to Reform — UK politics live
Caulfield says ‘the future is Reform’ as second Conservative MP in a week leaves for Nigel Farage’s party Maria Caulfield, a former Tory health minister, has joined Reform UK, GB News reports. They say she is the 13th former Tory MP to switch, GB News says. Caulfield told the broadcaster: If you are Conservative right-minded, then the future is Reform. The country is going to change a lot. The same people who thought that Brexit would not happen think that Reform will not happen. They are in for a shock. In an email to supporters, the party said it would open membership applications by the end of September, ahead of the conference two months later. But it did not give precise dates for the conference, saying only that it would see “thousands” of delegates “chosen by lottery to ensure a fair balance of gender, region and background”.

When you’re the paper of record and have definitely understood the franchise up until this point
From the NYT newsletter: • "Alien: Earth," now in its first season, continues the half-century-old "Alien" franchise. But the true horrors aren't ravenous xenomorphs anymore; they're tech companies.

People say the BBC lack flexibility in the modern digital era, but the launch and roll out of their 24 hour Charlie Kirk News channel in a matter of hours was pretty impressive.

The grim salivating of our press at the prospect of spreading more hate about trans people. Has there been an uglier moment in Britain's modern history?
