    I realize I’m a little slow on the uptake, but I cancelled my Disney+ subscription today.

    Do not forgive, do not forget. Purge these companies from your life forever.

      Way ahead of you. Disney have been unworthy scumbags in my eyes ever since I read ‘Free Culture’ by Lawrence Lessig many years ago.

    Disney owns Vice? That is hilariously ironic and awkward.

    Finally, the left and the right find one thing they can agree upon. Columbia (the sportswear company) just sent me an ad promoting a Disney event and a Disney line of clothing and I sent a reply that probably no one will see, but I told them they can fuck off with that.

      ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air for saying Kirk’s killer was right-wing and that they’re trying to use Kirk’s death for political points.

        He didn’t even say Kirk’s killer was right wing. He said that the right was desperately trying to say it wasn’t one of them.

    Didn’t this come from Sinclair media, the notoriously right wing, massive media conglomerate?

    I’m not sure how it works, and not saying Disney isn’t partially to blame.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group

    Sinclair is the “ABC Affiliate stations”.

    From Wikipedia (Jimmy Kimmel): On September 17, 2025, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely after Kimmel’s remarks regarding the MAGA movement’s reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk drew threats from FCC chair Brendan Carr and an announcement from station owner Nexstar that its ABC-affiliated stations were dropping the program “for the foreseeable future”.[5]

      The Trump FCC chair started it by threatening ABC’s license as well as licenses of ABC affiliates…Nexstar/Sinclair said they wouldn’t broadcast the show, then ABC bowed to pressure and said the show was cancelled indefinitely.

      Disney is worth $200+ billion, and if they fought this in court, the first amendment is clearly on their side. But like Paramount before them, they are complying in advance.

    Surely Kimmel has the means to start his own show on the internet and say whatever the fuck he likes, just like Charlie Kirk did, right?
