Holy shit, after Stephen Colbert practically predicted something like this might happen the other day when commenting on the Skydance/Paramount merger, CBS plans to cancel "Late Show with Stephen Colbert".

This hit me like a ton of bricks because Stephen is one of the comedians I look to in order to help process these troubled times.

“If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.”

Tony “Abolish ICE” Arcieri🌹🦀

Here's Stephen from a few days ago talking about the Paramount/Skydance merger, Paramount paying a $16 million "big fat bribe" to Trump, and how the new owner's desire to please Trump could put pressure on Stephen Colbert.

Funny how after paying that $16 million bribe, Paramount is cancelling the entire Late Show franchise for "financial reasons". Hey, I know where the money went!

Honest Reply to a gay-sex addled copium enjoyer:

No, I don't think the US military is currently in charge of anything. The leadership is composed of tranny admirals and five star tranny generals and crossdressers and child molesters just like the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.

The rank and file (and much of the leadership) are DEI hires that have done nothing but guard poppy fields to create opioid epidemics in White America, lose forever wars in the Middle East that make jews rich, and sacrifice young Americans for Israel.

They're a global embarrassment that maintains what legitimacy they have through the existence of a nuclear arsenal that they deny other countries.

The country has no soul, no conviction, no homogeneity, and would be a global laughingstock in a real war that wasn't a business venture for jewish bankers. Its people can't even agree with each other because the jewish media has divided them with hegelian dialectic and flooded the population with third world invaders to destroy trust and cohesion with the society.

I would trust a family of otters to defend itself better than the United States, because when the Boomer generation swallowed the diversity lie it took the only possible source of unity and strength out of the nation. America is now Godless, directionless, and eradicating its own people to avoid being called racist. It's a tax farm for pedophiles. The Taliban won because its people were an actual people, that had something worth fighting for.

Our kids going to war now? Hell, they're mostly brown and uneducated and lack the cognition to properly engage in warfare, but they're dying for a Walmart, a guy fucking their girlfriend back home, a cheeseburger, and a rabbi that wants them dead.

We have all read in scientific books, and, indeed, in all romances, the story of the man who has forgotten his name. This man walks about the streets and can see and appreciate everything; only he cannot remember who he is. Well, every man is that man in the story. Every man has forgotten who he is. One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God; but thou shalt not know thyself.

It is the only way I can express in words my clear and definite perception that one thing is quite distinct from another; that there is no logical connection between flying and laying eggs. It is the man who talks about "a law" that he has never seen who is the mystic. Nay, the ordinary scientific man is strictly a sentimentalist. He is a sentimentalist in this essential sense, that he is soaked and swept away by mere associations. He has so often seen birds fly and lay eggs that he feels as if there must be some dreamy, tender connection between the two ideas, whereas there is none. A forlorn lover might be unable to dissociate the moon from lost love; so the materialist is unable to dissociate the moon from the tide. In both cases there is no connection, except that one has seen them together. A sentimentalist might shed tears at the smell of apple-blossom, because, by a dark association of his own, it reminded him of his boyhood. So the materialist professor (though he conceals his tears) is yet a sentimentalist, because, by a dark association of his own, apple-blossoms remind him of apples. But the cool rationalist from fairyland does not see why, in the abstract, the apple tree should not grow crimson tulips; it sometimes does in his country.

This elementary wonder, however, is not a mere fancy derived from the fairy tales; on the contrary, all the fire of the fairy tales is derived from this. Just as we all like love tales because there is an instinct of sex, we all like astonishing tales because they touch the nerve of the ancient instinct of astonishment. This is proved by the fact that when we are very young children we do not need fairy tales: we only need tales. Mere life is interesting enough. A child of seven is excited by being told that Tommy opened a door and saw a dragon. But a child of three is excited by being told that Tommy opened a door. Boys like romantic tales; but babies like realistic tales—because they find them romantic. In fact, a baby is about the only person, I should think, to whom a modern realistic novel could be read without boring him. This proves that even nursery tales only echo an almost pre-natal leap of interest and amazement. These tales say that apples were golden only to refresh the forgotten moment when we found that they were green. They make rivers run with wine only to make us remember, for one wild moment, that they run with water. I have said that this is wholly reasonable and even agnostic. And, indeed, on this point I am all for the higher agnosticism; its better name is Ignorance. We have all read in scientific books, and, indeed, in all romances, the story of the man who has forgotten his name. This man walks about the streets and can see and appreciate everything; only he cannot remember who he is. Well, every man is that man in the story. Every man has forgotten who he is. One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God; but thou shalt not know thyself. We are all under the same mental calamity; we have all forgotten our names. We have all forgotten what we really are. All that we call common sense and rationality and practicality and positivism only means that for certain dead levels of our life we forget that we have forgotten. All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one awful instant we remember that we forget.

-GK Chesterton, Orthodoxy

"The letter to Epstein bearing Trump’s name is bawdy. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.

The letter concludes: 'Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.'"

@HiroProtagonist it could be as you say, or it could be real. As I said it'll be interesting to see what comes of his lawsuit. The discovery phase could prove interesting as well, if they actually go to trial. As to why this album appeared now, we would have to first know who gave it to the WSJ and when.

At the end of the day, even if it's 100% true, it's not much more than a curiosity from a time when the two were friends.

Apparently the attorney general thinks that AI should be politically impartial. Why should it be? If you don't like what it says, stop listening to it.

Or make your own chatbot that agrees with you about everything.

Same with Meta. If you don't like what you read on Facebook and Instagram, stop reading it.

I think what he and others want is not to be publicly disagreed with. If that's what you want, you'll just have to live somewhere other than the USA. We've always teased, laughed at, and otherwise disrespected our elected government officials. That's not going to change.

Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how

Clickbaity title on the original article, but I think this is the most important point to consider from it:

After getting to 1% in approximately 2011, it took about a decade to double that to 2%. The jump from 2% to 3% took just over two years, and 3% to 4% took less than a year.

Get the picture? The Linux desktop is growing, and it's growing fast.
