So much this. It’s why I gave up Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. Where I spend my time, and how I spend my money, is a representation of my values.
Unsurprisingly, 60 Minutes ratings are down.
What people like Ellison don’t understand is that many of us wouldn’t watch CBS News, including 60 Minutes, if you paid us.
Like Bezos, they don’t understand that consuming content is as much a statement of values as anything.

Jon Stewart hit the nail on the head. For decades, politicians used 9/11 heroes as photo-ops, only to turn their backs when those same first responders needed healthcare for toxins that destroyed their bodies. Basic human decency shouldn't require a public shaming campaign!

Within the next DECADE. Almost as if this is the plan of the evil tech oligarchs. Remember very recently when we had a functioning congress, and they’d have public hearings to address this?

I’d only seen clips until I saw the complete film GILDA on TCM tonight. The gay subtext isn’t exactly subtle. “Did you teach Gilda to swim? Are you a good swimmer, Johnny? I’d like you to teach me.” Rita Hayworth is scorching hot, yet, Johnny keeps her, sexless, in a gilded cage. Hello! #noircloset
When @eddiemuller.bsky.social screened #Gilda on #NoirAlley five years ago he pointed out the gay subtext in the movie, which I had never noticed.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe.
But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

The United States and Canada have been friends, partners, and allies for more than 150 years across 32 presidential administrations. And now, solely because of the arrogance, incompetence, and ego of the current occupant of the White House, that relationship is being driven straight toward a cliff.

Over the last 25 years, six people who contracted measles in the U.S. died from it.
A model built by Stanford researchers predicts that if Americans could no longer get the vaccine, measles could kill about 290,000 people in the next 25 years.

The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish
Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

For the last seven months straight, the U.S. government has refused to process immigrant visas for nationals of 75 countries around the world; including visas for spouses of U.S. citizens.
Today, a federal judge ruled the policy flagrantly illegal.
