Veronica Coan: “Daddy, do scientists just spend most of their time saying, ‘this is bullshit, this is bullshit, and this is also bullshit?’”

Jim Coan: “Yes, my love, that is what scientists spend most of their time doing.”

Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

When someone says one thing to gain power and then a contradictory thing when exercising that power, the most useful lens for understanding it is power, not hypocrisy.

Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.

Not much to say about Charlie Kirk. I didn’t know much about him. It’s horrible that he was killed. I do feel like it’s a good time to say, again, that words are not violence. Violence is violence. And there’s too much of it.
