SAG-AFTRA Statement on the Suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
SAG-AFTRA Statement on the Suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! SAG-AFTRA condemns suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Our society depends on freedom of expression. Suppression of free speech and retaliation for speaking out on significant issues of public concern run counter to the fundamental rights we all rely on. Democracy thrives when diverse points of view are expressed. The decision to suspend airing Jimmy Kimmel Live! is the type of suppression and retaliation that endangers everyone's freedoms. SAG-AFTRA stands with all media artists and defends their right to express their diverse points of view, and everyone's right to hear them.

From the link
& Bluesky How This Differs From Our Approach in Other Places Mississippi's new law and the UK's Online Safety Act (OSA) are very different. Bluesky follows the OSA in the UK. There, Bluesky is still accessible for everyone, age checks are required only for accessing certain content and features, and Bluesky does not know and does not track which UK users are under 18. Mississippi's law, by contrast, would block everyone from accessing the site-teens and adults—unless they hand over sensitive information, and once they do, the law in Mississippi requires Bluesky to keep track of which users are children.

I’ve got something in common with Zohran Mamdani!
In an interview on Thursday, Mr. Mamdani, 33, said he did not consider himself either Black or African American, but rather "an American who was born in Africa." He said his answers on the college application were an attempt to represent his complex background given the limited choices before him, not to gain an upper hand in the admissions process. (He was not accepted at Columbia.)|

The @nytimes.com appears to share an address with the restaurant owned by the guy they interviewed for this piece on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
2 hours ago Katherine Rosman Andrew Schnipper, an owner of restaurants in New York that bear his family name, said he would vote in the general election for the candidate who he thinks had the best shot of beating Mamdani. He took particular issue with Mamdani's promise to double the minimum wage. "As someone who employs many low-income workers, no one understands the affordability crisis more than a small-business owner," Schnipper said. "The answer to making New York City more affordable is to make business thrive. The better we are doing, the better our employees do." nytimes.com
