Wanting the state to silence one's adversaries is pervasive across time and culture -- that's why the 1st Am banned it -- but until recently, people were embarrassed to explicitly advocate it. But in US liberal culture, censorship is now so normalized that this is no longer odd: https://t.co/UBtyY7jt92 — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) January 9, 2022 Not long after Judd Apatow tweeted his support for censorship of Fox News, he deleted the message. Apatow, without comment, has now deleted his pro-censorship tweet. Here it is, along with a representative approving reply from blue-check liberals: pic.twitter.com/hXdIWRKv9J — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) January 9, 2022 original post (screenshot before Judd Apatow deleted his tweet)

No #bday party for me this year due to the #omicronvariant :-( pic.twitter.com/975H8DemFl — ShamekaParrishWright (@Seasoned4u) January 3, 2022 In 1969, Black people made up 13.3% of Jefferson County’s population, but owned 4.6% of the county’s businesses. Today, although the Black population has grown 22.4% its ownership of businesses with employees is 2.4% I have an INTENTIONAL plan to address this...not lip service. — Timothy Findley, Jr. (@TimFindleyJr) January 2, 2022 Thrilled to announce that UAW has thrown its strong support behind my candidacy for Mayor as our campaign
Two babies swaddled in blankets survive Kentucky tornado that sends their bathtub airborne
Police body cam video shows the rescue of two baby boys who were placed in a bathtub as a tornado approached their grandmother's Kentucky home on December 10. The tub was ripped away with the rest of the home's utilities. Hopkins County sheriff's deputies searched the post storm rubble and found both boys alive near the overturned tub. Neither child was injured. Watch the above video to see the rescues and hear Clara Lutz's reaction when the deputies deliver her grandbabies back to her.

When media companies cut costs, senior editors are the first to go
Is it racist imaging or shoddy graphics work? It's likely the latter but the entire media market suffers from even a scant trace of the former. I wonder why they didn't use our professional headshots...🤔🤔🤔@WDRBNews pic.twitter.com/ldupshQQZg — Timothy Findley, Jr. (@TimFindleyJr) November 13, 2021 Our media business is filled with underpaid young "journalists" who lack depth of perspective. Nonetheless, this unbalanced imagery is preposterously ignorant. Where is management oversight? Wow. Debating whether this is explicit or implicit bias. Either way, this is a typical narrative. @WDRBNews producers, reporters, editor should all be required to take bias training and someone at the top should apologize for this. https://t.co/ALVum1uk1Y — Sadiqa (@SadiqaReynolds) November 14, 2021 Media companies have cut payrolls so severely over the past decade that news employees
What’s this? An actual funny sketch from Saturday Night Live! 😲
The November 6, 2021 edition of Saturday Night Live had a wonderfully relatable sketch that did not take a political stance or insult middle Americans. They punched Spectrum Cable in the face with a wickedly funny sendup of the difficulty of trying to cancel cable. Enjoy. 📞🙄 BONUS SKETCH Here's the cold open for SNL that features a vaccine-resistant Aaron Rodgers and a brand new character playing Donald Trump. In previous years, Trump was played by actor Alec Baldwin, who is now spiraling in dismay after shooting and killing a co-worker on the set of his film RUST. A prop gun handed to Baldwin contained at least one live round, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Burnt. 🔥 For good. Nonetheless, John Schnatter still believes he will return to lead Papa John’s. 🙏 #PapaBless 🙄
"The morning after detailing is martyrdom, Schnatter wants to show off his mansion." In a new Bloomberg interview, deposed Papa John's pizza company founder John Schnatter still yammers about his delusional dream of returning to lead the company. It will never happen. Schnatter laughably spotlighted himself instead of pizza in Papa John's TV commercials for years. Once company directors started easing him out of the ads to focus on showing the product, Schnatter got his feelings hurt and created his own commercials. He paid to run them in certain markets to "prove" that viewers wanted to see him, not just pizza. To bolster his on screen presence, Schnatter courted popular sports personalities to share the stage with him on Papa John's commercials. NFL
