It didn't take long after news of Tucker Carlson's abrupt firing from Fox yesterday, for one of the most notorious Kremlin propagandists to literally offer Tucker a job.
You can't make this up. 😂

Hey, Joe’s still a lot younger than me!

For many older Americans, Fox has been a radicalizing force, leaving many younger folks feeling as if their parents have been stolen from them.

While it is premature to write Fox’s obituary, we must acknowledge that the post-truth era of right-wing, racist grievance we are currently living through is a direct result of Rupert Murdoch’s Fox “News” Channel.

So, how did we get here, and importantly how can we get out of this spiral? Read our thoughts over at The Big Picture. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/fox-news-fueled-family-divide

Sean Hannity tried to slam the Green New Deal with an on-air graphic that only ended up promoting the set of policy proposals instead.

Total self-own. 😂

It’s hard to image 70 percent of Democrats backing a twice-impeached, criminally-indicted, narcissistic sociopath as president, but that is where Trump stands with his GOP base.

Myles Cogrove, the ex-Louisville officer who shot Breonna Taylor in her home, was hired to be a police officer again in Carroll County in Kentucky. That makes me ill. https://www.wlky.com/article/hired-carroll-county-sheriff-kentucky-louisville-breonna-taylor-myles-cosgrove/43675237

How long as a society are we going to endure living like this?

I want to tell parents of trans kids under attack in the red states something:

This is simply horrifying. Like you, we can't understand how any politicians could stoop so low as to attack the most vulnerable among us.

You are strong, and we will fight for and beside you. And though we may lose these initial battles, your love and strength will help win this in the end. I know that to be true.

Poor Marco Rubio is complaining about Miami gas shortages as though he has no power to help Floridians.

And AOC just took him to school, explaining what a member of Congress actually can...and should do for their constituents. 👏

Call me old-fashioned, but you should be able to ring a doorbell, get in the wrong car in a parking lot, or drive down the wrong driveway without getting shot at, injured or killed.

Well, looks like Team Takei let the cat out of the bag, but it’s true. Today is my birthday! Admittedly, I’m going to be a bit shameless because of the occasion and ask you to help me win a bet. I told Brad that since I’m turning 86, I could get at least 86 readers to upgrade to a paid subscription to my Substack, #TheBigPicture.

I understand many might not be familiar with the platform, so today's piece on The Big Picture breaks down the different ways you can support my Substack and help me win this bet (take that, Brad)! See you there: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/george-takei-big-picture-birthday

Hitting Fox in the pocketbook doesn't work if they earn more from their lies thru increased cable demand fees than they pay out to the companies they've smeared.

The market isn't going to self-correct here. We need to find a way to actually stop the lies.

Someone asked ChapGPt to come up with 10 Commandments for the modern world. I could be guided by these principles. Perhaps a new religion is in order?

The GOP is in a bind. If Trump doesn’t win the nomination, he will likely run as a third party candidate.

You can’t ride the tiger, Republicans. It will always turn back and eat you.

My mastodon link at my pinned tweet on Twitter is now warning anyone who clicks on it that the sight may be “unsafe.”
You know what actually feels unsafe right now? Musk on Twitter.

I don’t understand why people think Mastodon is difficult. It seems pretty straightforward, and the separate servers are no biggie. I’m enjoying this fresh start here, like moving to a new apartment!

Hello UK! I’m tired but excited to get ready for my London stage debut in Allegiance, which is based on my real life story and experience in U.S. internment camps during World War II. #NeverForget
