I cannot understate how much of a life vest PBS was to me as a kid and how this is one of many things I’ll never forgive this piss-swilling regime for.
“For families like mine in Wichita Falls, Texas, @pbs.org was oxygen,” writes @briangaar.bsky.social . “It was proof that humor could be silly, intellectual, and a little dangerous all at once.

PBS Was a ‘Cultural Life Vest’ for Kids Like Me Before the Internet. The Fight to Keep Public Media Alive Feels Personal.
From late-night “Doctor Who” to “Monty Python,” PBS beamed in the wider world to kids in Texas.

The defining feature of the modern right is its vicious cruelty and the defining feature of the center-left is its complete vacuousness.
This isn’t cruel or mean spirited or…anything. It’s just what you get from people who are completely out of ideas. Wind whistling between their ears.

If the right-wing is going to go with, "We can't compare ICE to the Gestapo, because ICE only hunts non-citizens," then we need to call this what it is: a form of Holocaust revisionism.

Here's hoping that Sam Altman continues praising Donald Trump, that his remarks are widely disseminated, and that all those using or considering using ChatGPT hear them.
"President Trump is a very strong leader, and I hope he will rise to this moment and unite the country." Such a courageous statement from Sam Altman to OpenAI employees.
