I support free speech too, and want to hear all the stupid and vile comments people make without their being threatened with being fired. Public broadcasters may need to follow their employers' guidelines, but being fired without previous warning does not seem right. In any case, how is anyone to know whose opinions to trust if those opinions are sometimes censored by fear.

I enjoyed the episode but still must give you an F based on the treatment of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (or as I call it, the greatest show ever).

The pilot was awesome with the Judd Hirsch rant and the network executive trying to get them to cut the live feed. But then the new executive in charge came in (Amanda Peet) and was like, do whatever the fuck you want. There was another network executive who was more of a tight ass. But that's just playing up a drama. You acted like fighting the network censors was the theme of every show but it was quite tangential.

There, I feel better.

Delightful datum in the context of the 90s and the Civil War all being some handwaved time in the past, who can really tell, yada: the date of Biden's birth is closer in time to Appomattox Courthouse than it is to the current date.

Now the dictionary can put

Charlie Kirks picture next to

the word "IRONIC" b/c of his

intense defense of the 2nd amendment.

He was from the "break a few eggs to make an omelet" school of thought.

Then his egg got broken.

EVERY DAY. My bottomless sympathy is used up. All I have left is despair.....
