For the morning crew... I am very bad at asking for support for my work but if you're out there looking for media that isn't caving to nonsense and is calling it out... 👋
RE:
There was a HUGE contingent of very hacky comics who went anti-Biden/pro-Trump claiming that "woke scolds" were "canceling comedy."
Feels like maybe they should be speaking up?
RE:
Taibbi did post a short article about it, but seems mostly upset about the optics of it. This is WAY WAY different than his response to the Biden admin asking Twitter if it had policies in place to deal with vaccine disinfo, which he described as one of the worst attacks on free speech in history.
RE:
Seeing lots of people talking about canceling their Disney+ subscriptions. If you happen to have some extra money around that used to go to Mickey Mouse... small indie media sites like mine could always use some assistance.
Especially these days.

I usually believe in "slow news" and tend to write about things the next day, but this Kimmel shit is such a mess, I put this together quickly.
Key points: 1. Most people are pretending Kimmel said stuff he didn't.
2. SCOTUS just last year said that you can't do shit like this.
RE:
Meanwhile... I had just been putting the finishing touches on an article about Disney/Jimmy Kimmel just *won* the lawsuit George Santos had filed against him... Guess I need to put that aside to write up this nonsense.
