Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

We the people must never accept government threats to our freedom of speech. Efforts by leaders to pressure artists, journalists, and companies with retaliation for their speech strike at the heart of what it means to live in a free country. Last week, Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after the government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for freedom of speech in our nation. In an attempt to silence its critics, our government has resorted to threatening the livelihoods of journalists, talk show hosts, artists, creatives, and entertainers across the board. This runs counter to the values our nation was built upon, and our Constitution guarantees. We know this moment is bigger than us and our industry. Teachers, government employees, law firms, researchers, universities, students and so many more are also facing direct attacks on their freedom of expression. Regardless of our political affiliation, or whether we engage in politics or not, we all love our country. We also share the belief that our voices should never be silenced by those in power – because if it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us. This is the moment to defend free speech across our nation. We encourage all Americans to join us, along with the ACLU, in the fight to defend and preserve our constitutionally protected rights.A graphic listing the names of the more than 400 signers of the ACLU's letter condemning the federal government's retaliation against Jimmy Kimmel.

Some people recoil at compliments and never even think to wonder why. Share if you know what this is talking about - so others can understand you lol -- In case you needed to hear and understand this:

Screenshot of a Twitter exchange. The original tweet is by May Peterson, Book Necromancer, saying: “Does anyone else get a strong sense of guilt and shame from receiving positive attention?” Above it is a reply from Kai Cheng, Warrior Queen of the Gynaeceum (@razorfemme), saying: “yes! I took a seminar on shame once where the trainer told us that compliments often trigger shame in people who have experienced developmental trauma because compliments are discordant with our internal sense of self, causing us to feel as though we have committed deceit.”

Love a good game shop. Always surreal seeing things I worked on and products from people I love out here. Shame Dragon World Games - Brampton isn’t on here. It’s a hidden gem. I think my wife just got addicted to cracking magic packs. 🫣

Shot of game store merch collection. Dice, books, collectibles, minis, boardgames.

CapCut just updated their ToS that they own everything their users make. Own to use, alter, publish, sell, whatever - forever. So sick of these tech companies just stealing from their customers. 🙄🙄🙄

I live in Downtown LA, very close to the Federal Building. I've been under an 8PM curfew for several nights. I go to sleep and wake up to police helicopters overhead. It's a unique kind of psychological warfare. Police sirens are nearly constant. I taste tear gas on my way to the grocery store.

🤫🤫🤫 I wish I could tell you how to bypass paywalls with simple programming steps that anyone could do. I am not authorized to post the following meme.

Alt text: A meme featuring Mr. Incredible from The Incredibles talking to an elderly woman at a desk. The top text reads: “Ma’am, I wish I could help you with the paywalls, but I can’t. I would like to tell it to right click then inspect and go to the gear icon. Nor am I authorized to tell you to disable JavaScript and then reload the web to be able to read the content.” Below are four images: 1. Mr. Incredible gently gesturing with his hand toward the elderly woman as if trying to explain something without saying it outright. 2. A screenshot of a news website (El País) with the right-click menu open and “Inspect” highlighted. 3. A close-up of Mr. Incredible looking intensely, emphasizing secrecy or urgency. 4. A developer tools panel open on the same website, with “Disable JavaScript” highlighted, showing how to bypass the paywall. The meme humorously suggests a method to bypass article paywalls without explicitly endorsing it.

I hope you're hanging in there. It's ok if you're not ok. It's so difficult trying to find meaning, but grasping a project and cause I'm passionate about is helping.

A tweet from the account @JS_INJF_Rants reads: "i am 35 and completely burnt out. what am I suppose to do for 50 MORE years? maintain a yard? bitch about traffic? keep buying spinach and watching it die? get oil changes? f*cksake" (with a censored expletive).
