Some alarming news from @puppy@weirder.earth for all of us who use Ruby:

I have no idea what to make of this, but one thing is clear: something is happening in Rubyland that should not be happening.

I guess “cancel cancel culture” got cancelled.

Strange lack of outcry from all the “down with cancel culture” people.

To state the obvious: this is bland stuff, clearly protected by the 1A and so very far within the bounds of what a non-authoritarian FCC would allow that it’s just comical. Kimmel is about as controversial as a goldfish here. They aren’t serious about it being a problem; the whole •point• is that it’s obviously •not• a problem.

They are using something extremely benign to test the waters of government repression of speech, to see just how much they can get away with — and ABC caved like 3rd-grade toothpick bridge.

OK, here it is, the snippet of video that has Trumpland soiling their pants, the clip so shocking that ABC ousted Kimmel rather than face the legally impossible battle of defending what he said (ht @heluecht):

Somebody please post a video of Kimmel’s remarks that got him censored, and then let’s all boost the crap out of it.
