Gotta move fast, got Porterhouse to grill. This week not near as eventful as last week, but still some crazy business. To wit, evidently no one understands how FCC licensing works. If I see one more big MAGA social media account demand that MSNBC lose its FCC license (sic) for its chronic retard takes I will have an aneurysm. On the Left, no Jimmy Kimmel is not a First Amendment martyr; he is an unfunny doofus whose expense greatly outstripped his value. I’d bet dollars to donuts that Sinclair’s ABC affiliates have been wishing for a late night change for awhile. Understand that local stations pour a ton of resources (relatively) into their nightly news shows. To watch the audience you sweat blood to rope in for the 11pm slot completely disappear by 11:45 has to be disheartening. I know for a fact that radio stations fired talk show hosts who could not hold onto Rush Limbaugh’s audience in sufficient numbers. Watch what comes next in that space — I would not be surprised to see networks: A) abandon the time slot entirely as celebrity podcasts outrun the format B) move to Japanese style goofy game shows in search of a post Boomer audience.
I said from the jump that Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defense system was a dangerous fantasy; now it turns out to be a $3.6 trillion dangerous fantasy.
More on crazy shooter people. Unfortunately.
I don’t really care about what happens to TikTok, but if Oracle and Andreeson Horowitz are involved you better read the hell out of the TOS. Otherwise your refrigerator will be training their LLMs for free.
Swamp critter Susan Monarez had a bad day on Capitol Hill thanks to Rand Paul.

Why did the Swamp codename its secret investigation of all things Trump and Trump adjacent Arctic Frost? Is it because they intended to put everyone involved on ice?
Quote of the week, low IQ school board member edition:
Comments that they made in regard to a gentleman by the name of Charlie Kirk, who, until the last week I knew nothing of. Unless you, as a parent or you as a teacher feel bad because I as a teacher don’t miss a racist – a racist bigot at that – I don’t see how you’re going to be at risk of losing your teaching certificate.
Aaargh! Today is national talk like a pirate day, matey!
