From ABC's perspective, that is not any better. If their programming isn't on air, they're not making advertising dollars. Whether it's because Sinclair chose not to show their programming or ABC chose not to let Sinclair show their programming, the end result is the same: no advertising dollars, and Kimmel still isn't on TV.

Both. Sinclair won't air it, so ABC has suspended production. In theory, ABC could've had it keep airing on non-Sinclair affiliates, but they'd be biting the hand that feeds to do so.

When I was in high school, the girls running team had shirts that said, "Fast girls have good times!"

Silksong feels like being thrown into the deep end

I think it feels less like a standalone game and more like high-end Hollow Knight DLC. The gameplay expects that you've already completely beaten and mastered the hardest parts of Hollow Knight, and expects you to pick up from there.

Maybe that would be fine if I'd been grinding the Godhome continuously for the past seven years. But I think most people haven't been doing that.

Hochul is getting primaried by a more progressive candidate, and NYC has always been relatively weak for her because she's from Buffalo. This isn't actually about the mayoral race; she's begging the city to keep her in the governor's mansion.

crashing the economy

The stock market is doing great. The ownership class is lining up behind Trump because he's making them billions and they just need to stroke his ego a little bit.

I was shocked to learn that Maelle can one-shot that superboss as well. I would not have beat him otherwise: I spent literally weeks pounding my head against the wall, trying to beat him more conventionally.

Back in 2016,my BIL told me, "I could be as rich as Trump, I just don't want to work that hard."

...Still lived with his parents at 40.

At least in America, racism is so prevalent and core to our society that I'd never attribute racism in small children solely to bad parenting. Racism and misogyny are driven in part by exposure to... well, just about every part of American culture. Parents can try to course-correct, but (especially white) parents may not have the tools or language to adequately educate their children in the face of cultural indoctrination.

Well, yes. Businesses are run as dictatorships, not democracies. This is one of the reasons why no one who would "run a country like it's a business" should be elected to public office.

Absolutely this. The American Cancer Association advises it is best not to drink alcohol. Alcohol use accounts for 5% of all cancers in the US.

So it's a known carcinogen that also impairs judgements and motor functions, causes brain damage, and is habit forming. Just because it's been socialized to be acceptable doesn't mean it's not deadly.

What anyone thinks doesn't matter. It is a prosecutor's responsibility to prove it in court.

My grandfather was a state trooper for thirty years. The only advice he ever gave me was, "It's not illegal until you're convicted."
