The only Chicago celebrity I hoped to run into was @SUEtheTrex, so mission accomplished. (They're so much shorter in person ain't that always the way.)
Freedom is not about saying nice things or agreeing with those in power.
It is not flattering the President of the United States.
It is the right to express your point of view without government interference.
We must not allow anybody to take that freedom away from us.
What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.
Any corporation that thinks they can win by playing Trump's game will wind up regretting it, sooner or later, because he will never have enough.
It’s not a question of whether you agree with Jimmy Kimmel.
When someone uses their government position to threaten speech they don't like, that undermines the First Amendment and our entire democracy.
Everyone should care about this—no matter what your political view is.
What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.
We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech.
We, the People, deserve better.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN
As I posted a minute ago, Lowell PD have said it appears the suspect was carrying an AR-style rifle based on video footage. Attached is the latest from UMass Lowell.

@ajaxises@AntiRainbow Oh totally agree, it is a bummer. As someone who loves writing and who has less than zero visual art skills, it has always been disappointing. But I'm a lawyer, and buzzkilling is the nature of the legal biz.
@ajaxises@AntiRainbow It's not the same level of IP concern for a simple piece of visual fanart. For fancomics though, it would be. It really is a legal quagmire if CR staff or cast wade into fanfiction spaces, which are already a quagmire given they are gray area derivative works to begin with.
@TheThotHooThot @MsYAxisLabel @ric_orna@acechhh Semaglutide is FDA approved for both T2D and obesity treatment. It's branded as Wegovy for obesity and as Ozempic for T2D. It's the same drug. The same for trizepatide which goes by Mounjaro for T2D and Zepbound for obesity. Same drug in both cases just different marketing.
