"The Computer That Might Be Evil, But Also Might Be Good, You Don't Know, That's Why You Have to Watch".

Nailed it.

Sure, but "The Kinda Shitty Computer" isn't a very catchy title.

If it's any consolation, you're not missing anything. I've been meaning to shoot a new "Thanks for Becoming a Member" video for a long time to replace this one. When I do, please enjoy YouTube pointlessly recommending it to you as a welcome change of pace!

This is what makes any capitulation to these fascist dweebs, no matter how short lived, so infuriating. They have no guts, and they have no stamina. Standing up to them almost always works. Never give them anything.

FCC boss Brendan Carr now says his 'easy way or the hard way' comments about Jimmy Kimmel weren’t meant as a threat to pull licenses if Disney didn’t suspend him 🧢

We have officially reached "Michael Eisner would never have done this" levels of corporate spinelessness in compliance with fascism.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The
"suspending indefinitely" of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation. Maybe the Constitution should have said, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one's political or financial self-interest." By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
