Just saw someone repost this so I thought I'd resurface it for everyone. It's still relevant.
Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social it turns out ‘hash browns’ was trending on Threads last night (it’s petering out now, but still going). I can’t help but think you’d have been the life of the party 🥔

First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow

I haven’t watched regular TV for a long time, but if I ever do again, it won’t be anything on CBS
CBS cancelled The Smothers Brothers show for their criticism of the Vietnam War. This yet another episode in an honorable and proud tradition.

CBS's Colbert cancellation is eerily like Edward R. Murrow's cancellation for criticism of McCarthyism. Both were cancelled by CBS for the same reason, standing up to authoritarianism.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

I haven’t seen it either (thank heavens), but even in English, it’s still used to mean ‘to inhibit’. (‘Fire _____ant’). It’d be nice if they found an alternate term
