AND NOW THE NEWS

#550
SEPT. 25, 2025

a recurring roundup
of news, memes,

and my brilliant opinions

Jimmy Kimmel is back, without an apology

This video is fun, if you haven’t seen it, or even if you have.

Excerpt: “This show is not important,” he said. “What’s important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.”

LIMITLESS COLLUSION and COMPLICITY

Trump and Kennedy launch unhinged anti-science tirade in autism press conference

Trump regime tells expecting mothers to avoid Tylenol due to unproven link to autism

Excerpt: … this cavalier attitude towards healthcare pronouncements will do no favors when it comes to getting the public to trust doctors and researchers on matters of health and medicine. And that is of paramount importance, as the American people today trust both their leaders and medical institutions in particular less than perhaps they ever have in the past.

On matters of life and death, that will literally kill people.

Me again: Will the makers of Tylenol have the courage to sue the President and the Trump regime? I doubt it. The rich and powerful prefer appeasement.

EYE ON AI

IGNORING THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY

THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS

MY BROWSER HISTORY, MINUS THE PORN

And that’s the way it is,
and nothing will
meaningfully improve
until billionaires fear for their lives
