I'm so sad in such a strange way to hear about the Corporation for Public Broadcasting officially shutting down. It's a weird feeling. Most of it is the intellectual level of "oh this is SO fucking bad and terrifying that we'll no longer have federally supported public information channels anymore, it will ALL be through the private market, not to mention the stark reminder of the US government's continued descent into anti-intellectualism and fascism," all of which makes my stomach sink.

But on a smaller level it is the disappearance of something that was so ubiquitous to American childhood. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of Americans can hear the exact intonation of this phrase in their head: "This program made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and by viewers like you. Thank you."

There is a lot more that could be said about the likely repercussions of this. In addition to being sad, I am also exceedingly furious. I wish despair upon all the Republicans who helped kill the CBP just because it took its mission seriously and refused to broadcast overt right-wing propaganda as news.

protecting children is when they can be made into unrestricted content for their parents' kidfluencer instagram or family vlogs but they can't go online and watch the videos they themselves are in, for their own safety

Ohh let's do this.

I think if you click away or close the app often enough within a second of seeing any ad, the app should understand "this bitch doesn't even remotely look at ads, let alone interact with them, let's stop doing this" and then I should get ad free apps

As heartbreaking as it is (for this Canadian), I take her point. The brick wall is not going to be any less of a brick wall if she runs again. If she starts echoing any points about the last election being bought, she'd never win anything, even with solid proof and a decade-long court case. And if she runs again in the current system and environment, well, why set yourself up for THAT again? Doing the same thing you've always done before and expecting a different result, et cetera. It may not be about sparing herself, but what good would she be to the cause in that situation?

Vice President Harris has a LOT to say and now she gets to create her own scope to say it.

““There are so many extraordinary people serving this country,” she told Colbert. “But the system itself is failing to defend the principles we stand for.” Before diving into the politics, Harris eased into the conversation with a grin. When Colbert welcomed her back to the public stage, she quipped, “Well, I’ve got some things to say… and you’re safer than Twitter.” The audience roared. Harris confirmed she will not run for governor of California and, for now, has no plans to re‑enter electoral politics. Her decision, she said, was less about strategy and more about refusing to participate in a structure she believes is fundamentally dysfunctional. “It’s not about sparing myself,” she explained. “It’s about recognizing that this system — as it is — is not working.””

I am nursing a hangover because my neighbors invited me over for a dinner last night that was actually a high school graduation party for their eldest daughter but what it actually actually was was 16 Hindu families getting drunk and having a dance party in the basement teaching me, the Lone Jew, how to do Indian dances and getting me Quite Drunk while the kids watched YouTube upstairs

Oh, yes, yes, I read on The Internet that this is how you do it wokeless alpha-style or something.

I had great results washing my cybertruck with lemon juice and saltwater to preserve the finish!
