And nobody is surprised.

Yes I would assume it was the massive backlash from the initial decision that Disney took But also ABC didnt cancel his show, they just suspended it and it and it could have just been temporarily strategic because of how tense everything was Wait at least for the funeral to end and then bring Kimmel back

An apology to the Kirk family, lol. His "bereft" wife was on air after the assassination, scoring cult brownie points in an inflammatory speech trying to turn her late husband into a martyr, exactly the sort of thing a mourning widow would do directly after losing her husband and father of her children. Especially a mourning widow from a traditional family the way Charlie Kirk argued for. 99% of right-wing whining is projection. Or as we say here: "So wie der Schelm ist, so denkt er auch von anderen." - meaning, very loosely, it takes one to know one. Although Kash Patel still takes the take. I'll see you in Valhalla bro has to be the dumbest line of 2025 (coming from the director of the FBI), and it's a year where Trump said a lot and renamed the Gulf of Mexico and the Department of Defense.

Finished two games: -Postal: Brain Damaged. Amazing stuff! Can't wait to play the dlc. -Alone in the Dark: Inferno. Truly an underrated gem. Now playing: Postal 4. My God is it awful! Nothing like Postal 2 so far. Gunplay feels soooo bad. And the NPCs are lifeless as hell.

While they are both called sumthin Colony, they are rather different games.

Doubt it was lawyers. Disney would have been able to pay out contracts, if they had to, from their loose change. They may- very much the conditional may- have been obligated to pay for the show, they'd not have been obligated to show it same way a bunch of their MAGA aligned stations won't be showing it*. Far more likely it was the cascade of awful publicity and people threatening to cancel Disney+ and the like. Not all that often you're going to have Ted Cruz, Jon Stewart and Bill Maher agree on something let alone the parade of TV and movie types criticising it. *I particularly liked this line from their press release: "Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA." Very Trumpian, demanding an apology and a bung.

the bugs that travel underground being able to get in actually makes sense. palisades sit on the ground so its not like it creates a barrier that cant be dug through.even if you think logically only the posts would be underground. as for being "under your floor on the 2nd floor", yea thats a bit of an issue. does it show the trail of dirt, or can you see the grub from the floor below? also are you able to dig it up there and under pebblet foundation? for the ones under the foundation it makes sense for them to be there, but not if you can still dig them or see the trail.

Translation: The lawyers were sharpening their knives and Disney caved, because despite their resources, they wouldn't be able to win.

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/22/entertainment/jimmy-kimmel-returning Its good news, Disney overreacted and some ABC affiliated shows wont broadcast him but he is back "Disney tried to explain its decision-making in a Monday afternoon statement announcing Kimmel’s return. “Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” the Disney statement said. “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

Yes but Trump is still not able to decide on a new law or EO and tomorrow its implemented because these things do get challenged all the time in the courts In a real authoritarian state like Russia no court will challenge anything Putin wants, they exist to rubberstamp anything he decides There is no judicial independence in an authoritarian state and that still exists in the US

He is risen!

Registered to agree with this post. I have a Friend that is terrified of those bugs too!

Conservatives used to have the bigger impact with Disney, what with being a family oriented company, but they alienated that audience already. So now they can't afford to lose the cat ladies too. Boycotts depend on the industry and consumer base. The Bud Light one sent Bud light from #1 beer brand to #3 or #4, so that was pretty effective, but if it's something mostly progressives consume, a conservative boycott won't do much, and Vice Versa. The Hogwarts Legacy boycott resulted in it being the #1 selling game of the year for instance. Alienating men seems to have been the bigger disaster for a lot of stuff, rather than political sides, just look at the collapse of Marvel and Star Wars.

Basically ET with a predatory alien. Not sure if it's any good.

Trump makes unfounded claims about Tylenol and repeats discredited link between vaccines and autism I see our Secretary of Pseudo-Science has been busy, striding boldly into a new future of national quackery. I'm feeling so proud right now...

FInished the civilian path in Space Colony, guess that's as much as I want to play. Think next on games I installed and forgot to play is Aven Colony.

Larva and grubs appear in my residence. The larva & grubs appear under the pebblet flooring & even on the second floor in the stem flooring. I have my base surrounded by palisade walls and it has kept out the wolf spiders and scorpions. The creatures that travel under the ground are still able to access the building and yard areas.

i suggest buffing the new axl greatbow and adding a better trinket for bow damage cause the new axl greatbow with tier two bow perk and full axl armour set cant even one shot a spiderling and it feels kind of underwhelming for the first boss fight item. overall really fun update love the new boss fight will be hoping for a buff or tweak too the bow and armour set tho.

I forgot to mention I'm playing on Xbox Series S

Temporary effect "weakness" didn't disappear until I restarted the game. The Axl theme music kept playing after the battle was over and I had moved far away from battle location.

Watched two low budget horror films THE STRANGENESS (1980) and BLUE MONKEY (1987) The Strangeness is almost student film level of lowbudget. A group (A company rep, a mining engineer, a pair of cave guides, a geologist and a writer and his girlfriend/collaborator) go to open a mine that closed decades ago after the miners refused to work any more amid disappearances and tales of a monster lurking in the mines. Despite skepticism, it is a monster picking off the group one by one. The plot is a little thin and padded, something that low budget films often happen. But it leads to some missing backstory that might have been interesting to see rather than some of what they did. Blue Monkey is essentially THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD in a hospital. A series of events with a sick man leads to a potentially apocalyptic outbreak and a pair of giant insects. A fun throwback to 50s Era monster movies with 1980s effects.

Well, if one's on the extremely far right-end of the political spectrum, everything and everyone else looks left. Besides, if one just excludes economic politics (in which the AfD is hilariously out-capitalist-ing the FDP) like the far-right populists generally do, backed by wealthy people as they all seem to be, the mainstream opinion of simply accepting other forms of family or concepts of living together outside of what politicians in Germany call the "core" (father, mother, children) family is something that can be seen as left insofar as the left leaning parties are the ones pushing for more sociall progressive policies. It's not like the CDU (or our equivalent, the ÖVP) were at the forefront of opening marriage for homosexual poeple. They hemmed and hawed until they were just forced to. Angela Merkel was chancellor at a time where society as a whole moved towards more understaning and acceptance of alternative ways of life. One act of accepting refugees might have caused a cascade reaction landing us in some dangerous waters in this day and age, but left-wing does that not one make. Certainly not the CDU, and even less their Bavarian appendix.

I would assume that it depends on the brand/business/product. For ABC/Disney, it's probably safe to say that they would have more left-wing people in their camp than right-wing, so yes, I would imagine they would've been much better off just quietly ignoring all of this. There are enough other significant voices out there saying so much worse about Charlie Kirk than the nothingness that Kimmel did (his comment didn't even really directly concern Charlie Kirk but rather the shooter), this shouldn't have even been on anyone's radar, especially given the kind of audience Kimmel has in the first place. Foolishness all around on the decision-makers at ABC/Disney, though I do understand that the threats between FCC and Sinclair/Nexar were probably persuasive in the moment. ABC/Disney will still have to sort that nasty business out.
