If you are cancelling your Hulu, Disney+, and/or ESPN+ subscriptions because of Iger's decision re: Kimmel, make sure you let Disney know WHY you are doing that. They need to know why they are losing customers. That's how capitalism is supposed to work, right?

Ohioans struggling to make ends meet. Reeling from the opioid crisis. Trying to find jobs. But this is what the legislature focuses on. 🤨 Ridiculous. Shame on the leg for passing it. Shame on Dewine for signing it.
The law taking effect in 90 days requires people at Ohio K-12 schools and universities use the restroom that aligns with their gender assigned at birth. It bans K-12 students from sharing overnight accommodations with people of the opposite sex. A lawsuit is expected.

The right to bear arms comes with the responsibility to ensure public safety. As a trauma surgeon & survivor of #GunViolence, I’ve seen firsthand the devastating toll guns can take when used irresponsibly. Protecting lives through common-sense measures doesn’t infringe on rights—it strengthens them.

Just remember, this is the party of small government, personal freedom, keeping the government out of our lives and limiting government overreach. 🤨

Somebody please tell me that using a split infinitive is OK. I just used one, and it hurt so bad. Any attempt to get out of it was beyond awkward. I don't want to go to grammar jail.

Sharing this editorial about the future of "that other place" for scholarly journals from Dec 2023 in Eur J Neuroscience. Interesting to see what has/hasn't changed in a year.

This. Is. Amazing. It's so deliciously amazing. I can't wait to see what @bencollins.bsky.social and the rest of the Onion do.
Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Growing up "Switched on Bach" was one of my favorite albums. I always loved the music on Tron, too. Pretty sure my parents would never have gotten this if they knew Wendy was trans.

Happy birthday, Wendy!
Happy 85th birthday Wendy Carlos, who revolutionised the synth with Bob Moog, made electronic music before Eno & Kraftwerk, & composed scores for Tron, Clockwork Orange and The Shining. A trans icon, Carlos gave few interviews but this BBC one features her beloved cat www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ca...

Places where abortion is becoming outlawed don't need to be mocked by people who are luckier, they need material support & political solidarity.
