Mine are just plain weird; like the kind you wake up from like - what even was that"
That's what I meant.
Why do you think Shrek (ogre, not alien) is lieutenant in some of the star trek stories I've written.
...I see what you mean. Most of the time I don't remember my weirdest dreams (which is probably for the best) but I do remember some.
In the UK we have one party complaining about free speech, but the said party have banned a newspaper from reporting on them because they didn't like what they reported.
Jimmy Kimmel falsely claimed that Tyler Robinson was MAGA, even though all the evidence points to him being a left wing extremist. I don't know if that qualifies as slander under American law, since it's directed at a movement instead of a person. But either way, it's a bold-faced lie.
So I'm not shedding any tears for Jimmy Kimmel being fired. This is the guy who said that people who didn't get the COVID vaccine should be refused medical treatment and allowed to die.
The far left invented cancel culture, so it's poetic justice when it gets used against them.
So if we're getting technical, he didn't actually claim that, although you could argue he implied it.
Jimmy Kimmel said said:
The first part just says that they were trying to disassociate Robinson from themselves, which is true regardless of where Robinson happens to fall on the political spectrum. And the second part about scoring political points is absolutely true. So the way it was worded makes it a true statement, and therefore no way it was slander.
And regardless of all that, it doesn't change the fact that ABC are cowards for just folding under the implied threat from Carr.
How is it that the morons always yelling about their freedom are always trying to take it away from other people?
I think you just answered your own question.
For years, many conservatives have been free speech absolutists and refused to be involved in cancel culture. But taking the moral high ground achieved nothing. Many were losing their jobs for social media posts that offended the far left. Most of these posts did not glorify violence, they just pointed out certain facts that people on the left found offensive. Gina Carano is an example that comes to mind. Now conservatives have had enough and decided to use the far left's own tactics against them.
If a company doesn't fire someone who celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk on social media, there is a very real possibility that they will lose revenue. Many consumers don't want to give money to someone who celebrates the murder of an innocent person. Most companies will choose revenue over defending free speech.
I'm not a conservative myself, but I do follow several conservative YouTube channels, so I understand their point of view.

I am assuming you are talking about yellowing. There are multiple possible causes but it basically comes down to fading of optical brighteners and/or various forms of oxidation.
The traditional form of dealing with the problem was to spread your discoloured whites on bushes in strong sunlight for several days to bleach them...not sure that's very practical these days...
The Left is barely represented in mainstream American politics. What is most often called the "Left" here falls more in the center of the political spectrum. The suggestion of a "Far-Left" that amounts to anything but some Redditors and rebellious teenagers is just a boogeyman, and not a very convincing one to anyone who's been paying attention.

So much this. As a non-American, it's so weird to hear the Republicans go on about the Democrats being the "left". Sure, I guess things are relative, and they are definitely to the left of the GOP, but they would not be considered "left" most other places in the world. There are definitely individual members more on the left, but the establishment seems to do whatever they can to prevent them from moving the party as a whole further to the left. The mainstream Democratic party is a centre-right party, at best.
Recent safety trainings at my job got me thinking about something:
While they're beneficial for almost everyone, there is a tiny percentage of people who would never have thought to do something unsafe on the job if the trainer hadn't let them know it was a thing they could do in the first place. Like the kid who didn't know playing with matches was even an option until an adult said not to. Is there, in any language, a specific term for this particular variety of idiot?

There is a documentary about how Poland is preparing for war with Russia, this the world we live....

Worked a whole shift today. So tired, but feeling better about it. I think I can handle it.
