Oh good, @nbcla.com is also running the dystopian Kristi Noem ad that looks like it came out of...well...every single story that's warned us about authoritarian dystopia. Local news orgs - if you want people to keep watching, maybe don't run ads threatening people. This doesn't seem hard.

Hi, @abc7.bsky.social . I usually watch your newscast in the afternoons, but after watching you air an advertisement where Kristi Noem tells people that she will find and deport people, I think I'll find another channel. Thanks.

Earlier today the LA Times had AI-generated counterpoints to a column from @gustavoarellano.bsky.social. His piece argued that Anaheim, the city he grew up in, should not forget its KKK past. The AI "well, actually"-ed the KKK. It has since been taken off the piece. www.latimes.com/california/s...

After Trump’s shithole comment, Conan deliberately diverted his travel show to highlight the beauty of Haiti. The result was genuine, funny, and some of the most moving television I’ve seen in a while.

In advance of the Oscars tonight: a lot of comedy heroes let you down. They become unfunny/bitter/closed minded. Conan is the exception. He has grown & evolved & is funnier than he’s ever been. He’s also an extremely kind and lovely human. Just a sincere post to say: Conan rules.

Whatever you think about Ukraine and Russia, you have to admit that Zelensky's refusal to fellate Trump and Vance on tv was a major diplomatic failure.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

If you’re an authoritarian leader of a country anywhere in the world, and you just watched the oval office meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy — how are you not thinking, “Seems like a good time for a military incursion into some disputed territories.”

Remember how Top Gun taught us that we could defend against Russia with cool planes and it turns out they could trick us into electing a useful idiot who will willingly give up the country?

I don’t know if it’s possible to quantify how much global influence and power this administration has willfully squandered in the past four weeks. It is a national security disaster.

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

If you’re going to force me to look at Nazi salutes by using them as the images for the articles you publish, have the fucking decency to call it what it is. Provocative gesture? Literally what the fuck is wrong with you.

There is no clearer example of @kenwhite.bsky.social's Rule of Goats than these motherfuckers. I'm fairly certain they're sincere in their Nazi ideology, but even if they're just "triggering the libs" they're still goat-fucking Nazis.

This is the Playwrights’ Center, which first brought me out from NY to Minneapolis on a writing fellowship. It was where I taught, learned, developed work and had a great time for years. I’m so proud of them for holding the line on DEI, despite the risk. Donating some $$ right now!

A fun thing about bad @mst3kofficial.bsky.social and @rifftrax.com movies is sometimes you don't know which one will break someone. A friend of ours really enjoyed Manos but refuses to ever see "Dancin' It's On" ever again.

I would argue that anyone who is incapable of honestly answering “how many children do you have?” is not overly transparent.
