Comedians are the canaries in the coal mines. They are being silenced one by one. We either have free speech, or we don't. A message from my union, and I agree with every word.

"Where would we be without social media?"
(listens to answer)
"Wow. Really?"

Chris J. Mancini @chrisjmancini.bsky.social · Jun 10

So the animated Predator movie "Killer of Killers" was fantastic. So was "Sirens" on Netflix. I know they are completely different lanes but it's always nice to see well-crafted entertainment, regardless of genre.
