Ray Harryhausen’s stop-motion work in Jason and the Argonauts (1963) continues to amaze viewers even after six decades. The film’s enduring appeal shows that genuine art never grows old.

BREAKING🚨 Trump spent all week bragging that he got Stephen Colbert “fired.” Less than 24 hours later, Colbert was back on TV with Jack White, Eminem, Steve Buscemi, and Jeff Daniels — flipping him the bird from a tiny public access studio in Michigan.

Thursday night, after 11 years, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ended on CBS. Trump immediately took a victory lap, posting an AI video of himself grabbing Colbert and throwing him into a dumpster, then dancing on the lid.

He ranted that Colbert was “talentless,” celebrated that he was “finally finished,” and basically declared himself the man who got a critic taken off network TV.

The party lasted about 23 hours.

Friday at 11:30 p.m., Colbert popped back up — not on a major network, but on Monroe Community Media 1 in Monroe, Michigan, hosting the local public‑access show “Only in Monroe.” He read goofy local news, roasted his former bosses at CBS, and welcomed surprise guests Jack White and Jeff Daniels.

Then came cameos from Steve Buscemi and hometown legend Eminem, who wandered onto the set just to show they were in on the joke. All that star power, crowding into a community‑access studio, just to send one message: you can’t cancel someone who won’t shut up.

“It’s been an excruciating 23 hours without being on TV,” Colbert deadpanned, before thanking Monroe Community Media for having him “before they get acquired by Paramount.” That’s the whole story in one line: Trump can lean on billionaires and corporate bosses. He can post his little AI cartoons.

But he cannot actually make a voice disappear if that person is determined to keep talking — even if it’s from the most bare‑bones cable channel in Michigan.

This is what authoritarian types never understand. Censoring a critic doesn’t kill the criticism. It amplifies it. By gloating over Colbert’s finale and literally sharing a fantasy of throwing him in the trash, Trump turned a late‑night host into a free‑speech folk hero.

Instead of quietly exiting the stage, Colbert got a new, bigger story: the comic who went from CBS to public access overnight just to prove that comedy doesn’t belong to corporations or presidents.

Now the clip that’s going viral isn’t Trump’s AI dumpster video. It’s Colbert sitting in a cramped local studio with Jack White and Eminem, laughing about how fast he bounced back. Everyone’s talking about the comedian Trump tried to erase — and how small, petty, and thin‑skinned the president looks in comparison.

Whatever Colbert does next, he’s going to be living rent‑free in Trump’s head the entire time. And the more Trump tries to silence him, the louder that little public‑access studio in Monroe is going to sound.

Stephen Colbert was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. A fitting honor for a champion of our democracy.

RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

this was so sweet. Stephen Colbert just ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney. his family and the show's crew then joined them on stage before Paul turned off the lights to the Ed Sullivan Theater

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow. In one of the most emotional moments in television history, Stephen Colbert signs off his show’s last opening monologue by sharing that he realized his job was to “feel the news” with us.

What a class act and an extraordinary person. Thank you Stephen.

Raise your hand ✋ if you STAND with Stephen Colbert against Trump

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Holy shit! Stephen Colbert is using one of his LAST shows to get even with Trump.

Colbert is responding to being taken off the air by giving ZERO f*cks.

This is one of the most brilliant takedowns of Trump and his America First bullsh*t I've ever seen.

El Cristo Velado (Il Cristo Velato, 1753) es considerada una de las obras maestras más asombrosas y enigmáticas de la historia del arte universal, célebre por lograr el efecto de un tejido transparente utilizando únicamente un bloque de mármol.

El encargo fue ideado inicialmente por el escultor Antonio Corradini, famoso por sus figuras veladas. Sin embargo, Corradini murió en 1752 habiendo realizado únicamente un pequeño modelo de arcilla.

El aristócrata e inventor Raimondo di Sangro, Príncipe de Sansevero, contrató entonces a un joven y relativamente desconocido Giuseppe Sanmartino para terminar el trabajo.

El príncipe le dio una instrucción estricta: esculpir una estatua de mármol a tamaño natural de Jesucristo muerto, cubierto por un sudario transparente tallado en el mismo bloque de piedra.
