📺 ABC suspends ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ “indefinitely” over Charlie Kirk comments - The Independent Variable

2025-09-18T01:15:21.000Z

Kimmel’s original comments were as follows: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

This literally can’t be all he said, can it? That’s enough to suspend him? That’s more tame than anything the people on the right have said, accusing democrats and the trans community of Kirk’s death. So much for free speech and being against cancel culture. What a joke.

ABC Suspends ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ “Indefinitely” Over Charlie Kirk Comments

The network’s decision comes after affiliate group Nexstar said it would pull the late night show, and the chairman of the FCC suggested he might take action against ABC.

🤖 Business Insider reportedly tells journalists they can use AI to draft stories - The Independent Variable

2025-09-17T22:40:21.000Z

The Verge

A dedicated FAQ reportedly addressed whether journalists can explicitly use AI to assist with writing first drafts. “Yes, but you must make sure your final work is yours,” it answered. The guidelines stressed final products must be the journalist’s own work, however, adding that journalists would be responsible for stories under their name.

What’s the end-goal here? Are journalists going to work themselves out of a job? Does BI think this will produce a higher quantity and quality of journalism? And what happens when AI starts training on all the AI journalism? Does the world just explode? Knowing management encourages the use of AI in writing—let alone allows it—is as clear an indicator you can give me to never visit their site again.

Business Insider reportedly gives journalists green light to write stories with AI — and it won’t tell readers

The policy makes Insider one of the first major US newsrooms to permit such extensive use of the technology.

🏛️ Sen. Chris Murphy warns Trump is exploiting Kirk's death to squash dissent - The Independent Variable

2025-09-17T20:21:41.000Z

NPR

Murphy’s comments came as at least 30 people across the country have already been fired or investigated over social media posts about Kirk’s death and amid calls from Republican officials and right-wing influencers for more crackdowns.

Who knew Republicans were so woke? It all feels a little PC/cancel culturey to me; I mean, folks are just speaking their mind, right? I guess the right isn’t afraid to go broke anymore. No two snowflakes are alike, after all.

Introducing the new and improved TIV - The Independent Variable

2025-09-17T19:10:19.000Z

If you're reading this, you're probably thinking, "Great, another idiot with a Ghost blog who is probably going to try to ask me for money. And this idiot isn't even a journalist or a real writer."

DAMN STRAIGHT!

I'm here to bleed your wallet dry—capitalism, baby; it's a game and there can only be one winner: me.

Okay, to be a little bit more serious... if you've enjoyed reading the links I've shared with commentary in the past, nothing will change. Not only that, I'm committed to getting back to more frequent link blogging as I've gotten some things organized and settled a bit with Foofaraw.

But as a freelance consultant, I figured I should be trying to find ways to diversify my income and maybe even try to pretend like I'm an "expert" in certain things... so I'm committing to writing something a bit longer every week and will be sharing my movie, tv, and album reviews, which will both be exclusive to paid supporters.

To be clear, I'm financially stable for the next two years with my current client, so don't feel the need to support out of charity. But if you enjoy what I do here or are interested in checking out the longer writing and reviews I'll be publishing moving forward (or want to help offset the costs of paying writers and artists on Foofaraw), you can subscribe to TIV.

In terms of newsletters, I plan on putting together a weekly roundup of everything I publish for free, so there'll be multiple ways to keep up with the links. Those newsletters will occasionally include some things for paid subscribers, like my monthly Little Letter of Nonsense zine and other goodies as I come up with them.

That's it. Now be gone!

The new typeface from GT is very, very nice; falling somewhere between GT Standard and GT Flaire in terms of that minimal approach and infusing it with some personality.

If a Democrat calls Republicans “fascists,” he basically just signed their death warrants.

If a Republican calls Democrats “Marxists,” or “the enemy from within,” or “vermin,” or “human scum,” he’s just trying to fire up the crowd.

It really feels like we are living in some bizzaro upside world where where left is right and right is evil and moronic.

2025-09-17T03:48:00.000Z

ChatGPT will now also apply different rules to teens who are using the chatbot.

ChatGPT used to be a far more restricted chatbot that would refuse to engage users on a wide variety of issues the company deemed dangerous or inappropriate. Competition from other models, especially locally hosted and so-called “uncensored” models, and a political shift to the right which sees many forms of content moderation as censorship, has caused OpenAI to loosen those restrictions.

Because, you know, why solve a problem and save lives when you need to stay competitive in our ruthless capitalistic society that cares more about number go up than actual human lives. Unless, of course, those human lives are aligned with us politically, then act outraged, but still do nothing to prevent it from happening again. Am I rambling and conflating two different things? You’re damn right!

Decisiveness - A Humdrum Life

2025-09-17T03:26:16.000Z

Take a trip with me back in time, to when I was just a wee little lad, taking tests in the back of a classroom, in my beloved Chicago suburbia. One of the traits I had back then and retain to this day is that of decisiveness.

I put very little effort into school, from kindergarten through grad school. That didn’t stop me from always being the first one done with any test, though. It wasn’t that I knew all the answers, didn’t care, or was a fast reader (I’m still an extremely slow reader). I just knew what I knew, and I knew what I didn’t. You’d never see me just pondering a question or thinking about how to solve a problem. I either knew the answer or I didn’t, and I moved on. I had faith that enough would feel like common sense that it’d all work out. And I ended up being a B+ student.

That has carried with me to today. I get an idea or I’m given a problem to solve, I do it to the best of my abilities, and I have fun with it.

But don’t let that faith and decisiveness confuse you with confidence. Quite the contrary. Confidence is a trait I do not have—at all. I frequently—every hour on the hour—let my anxiety get the better of me and question every decision I made the hour before. But my “skill” (if we want to call it that) is not letting the dreaded anxiety of previous decisions prevent me from making the next decision that comes my way.

This lack of confidence used to feel like a huge flaw (and it still kind of does). It’s like walking around with one shoe untied—except my shoe is in Schrödinger's box and I’m constantly questioning whether it’s tied or not. But now I think it might be a feature, not a bug. Confidence can make you stubborn. It can make you blind to new information. It can turn a simple left turn into a three-hour philosophical debate about the nature of direction itself—leading you nowhere. And it can make you into an unbearable human being; we all know the type of person I’m talking about.

My uncertainty keeps me nimble. When I don't know if I'm right, I stay alert. I pivot when things go sideways. I listen to feedback because I'm not convinced I have all the answers—which, let's be honest, I definitely don't. And I iterate constantly. But I don’t let not knowing stop me from making a decision and moving forward—but please don’t confuse me with the move fast and break things people.

The best part? Being decisive without confidence is deeply, profoundly honest. I'm not pretending to know more than I do. I'm not performing certainty for an audience. I'm just a person making choices with incomplete information, same as everyone else—except I'm willing to admit it.

“The algorithms suggest a sixty-five percent likelihood of the contract vessel ‘The Berganza’ being responsible for some disruption to our operations. We are commissioning you to serve an injunction on them.”

Ovsei sipped his chai and nodded agreeably. He decided early in his career he would be nothing but polite when offered a contract by Cavendish Interventionists of any branch. This rule served him well for more than twenty years; the Interventionists paid exceptionally well for work Ovsei would do for a subsistence wage, and were glad to have him to blame when things inevitably got more kinetic than was good for the company’s squeaky clean image.

“What timetable do you have in mind?”

“Expedited.” Sitting next to the Interventionist was a girl who made Ovsei feel decrepit. He had more lines on the back of his thumb than she did on her face. She was in a dress Ovsei recognised from movies his grandparents had liked. It was a traditional Bavarian costume, though her skin and hair had a distinctly East African spice.

Ovsei looked at Lev. His better half. Lev gave his little half shrug, a gesture Ovsei had come to know as on the warm side of indifference.

“Payment of our usual fee up front, hundred percent bonus on completion.”

He expected them to haggle.

“Why didn’t they haggle?”

“Not worth worrying about,” Ovsei reassured Lev. “If it is so important to them that they will pay our starting offer, it is important enough that we would have had an abrupt engine failure shortly after declining their offer.”

Lev snorted. Abrupt engine failure being something of a recurring motif in their work.

“Better tell the girls then, hadn’t we?”

The girls were delighted. Most crews relied on a weathervane to keep them from trouble. It was, in fact, the entire purpose of having a weathervane in a contracting crew. Unfortunately for the Heartless She their weathervane Didi was something of an adrenaline addict. Of the three girls Ovsei and Lev had accidentally adopted, Didi was, however, the most restrained.

“Expedited? And a completion bonus!”

“Did you get the data download, old man?” Keke had decided that both Ovsei and Lev were at the beginning of their dotage and as such likely to forget crucial steps in the contracting practice.

“You forget one time, and they never let you live it down,” Lev grumbled to Ovsei.

“What does it say about the ship?” Rosalia was practical until the torpedo tubes were loaded. Then she became a hooting mess. “Weapons? Shield plating? Engines?”

“Nothing in the file,” Didi grumbled, scrolling through the index. “It looks like it’s some old expeditionary scow, sold off at auction after a crucial part failed, and then stitched back together.”

Keke tapped her spoon on the weld seal that ran across the galley, the scarring of a rail gun which had torn Heartless She apart when she crossed the stars with a different name.

“No judgement,” Didi agreed.

“Have they seen us?” Ovsei always preferred to work from the shadows. The Heartless She might be a resoldered scow, but she was coated in stealth cladding, and occluded by high-performance electronics. Where possible, they used the distortive effects of gravity wells to improve their camouflage.

“It doesn’t look like it.” Keke peered into the scanners, watching for signs of acceleration, manoeuvring, or chaff deployment.

“Do it.” Ovsei gave the word. Didi did not countermand him, though she could.

Rosalia whistled to herself cheerfully as she completed her firing solutions. The algorithms calculated tumble, spin, and velocity. They fed traceries into her optical implants, constantly updating as she laced the void with dense carbon needles. The ship they were tracking was torn to pieces, reactive mass boiling chunks of its carcass.

“They didn’t try to avoid the bullets,” Lev said what they were all thinking. “Fuck.”

Jason Bateman returns to Netflix and TV to follow up Ozark. This time he's bringing Jude Law with him. Bateman and Law play brothers here, where one owns a club in NYC and the other comes back into his life and brings his mess with him for this crime drama.

🕵️ Only Murder in the Building S5 (Hulu) — Last week

I love when a show is consistently on year after year with no extended two-year break, but I hate to say that this one might be getting a little long in the tooth. Maybe they should take a little bit of time off so they can bring something new and fresh.

movies hitting the big screen this week

🎥 New movies

🧑 Adulthood

Alex Winter of Bill & Ted fame is back in the director's chair for this little murder mystery that has been getting solid reviews and looks like it could make for a fun viewing.

👩‍❤️‍👨 A Big Bold Beautiful Journey

This one has not been getting great reviews, other than folks saying it might be Colin Ferrell's best performance to date.

🚶 The Long Walk

I'm fascinated by this one. I love a good contained movie—things like Phone Booth, Buried, and My Dinner with Andre. This looks like that, but on the move. Plus, it's based on a Stephen King story, which tend to have a pretty high success rate when they hit the big screen.

🕴️ Waltzing with Brando

Billy Zane was made for this role. He doesn't do a lot, but when he does, I enjoy his screen presence and he just has the perfect look for Brando.

🔉 The History of Sound

Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor star as two music students in Boston in 1917. Mubi picked this one up, so it's definitely going to be for a particular audience.

2025-09-14T23:36:00.000Z

A young father with largely the same list of values was killed for having those values.

Oof… here are some of Charlie Kirk’s values in his own words. Not to mention the blatant intolerance of others of all walks of live, especially his anti-trans views. Hiding behind a book doesn’t stop one from being a deplorable person—Jesus fed the poor, while the people Kirk aligned himself with are calling for massive lethal injection of the homeless.

On the off chance this is the first time someone is reading me, I think Charlie’s death was wrong—even if he thinks gun deaths are acceptable to keep the second amendment—but that doesn’t magically change the person Charlie was—coming from someone who shared a basketball court and locker room with him for a year (we were not friends, to say the least.)

🎥 The Aviator - A Humdrum Life

2025-09-14T00:16:01.000Z

There’s a ton to like with The Aviator, but it almost felt like too much—maybe a bit repetitive, too. That very well could be pitch-perfect and accurate to who Hughes was, but I found it to be a bit grating. Still, Scorsese and Leo together are always enjoyable and top-class, but I just don’t think this particular story, at least how it was written here, was for me.

2025-09-13T23:54:59.000Z

I originally gave this four stars, but the more I’ve sat on it, the more disappointed I’ve become. 25% of the movie in the back half is really good—great even. But I struggled with the beginning; it seemed a bit emotionless and stale. And the last 10% just made some weird choices and basically had multiple endings, which I didn’t enjoy.

Denzel is Denzel though—terrific as always.

This is a rewatch for me, but the first time my wife has seen it. I watched it back in college when I was taking a film criticism class in college. Given my memory is terrible, it was almost like watching a new film, but as certain scenes would come up, I’d be like “oh yeah!” The booze, the train, mount rushmore, the house at the end, it all came rushing back.

Anyway, I still think it’s basically a perfect movie.

Been sitting on this a bit since I saw it about a month ago… just been too lazy to do these posts with everything else going on, but I’m trying to catch up today and this might just be the best movie of the year—at least it is so far.

There’s just so much going on. It’s a perfect movie. The themes, the acting, the structure, the humor, it was all just so good.

America—and, more importantly, Red-White-and-Blue-Blooded Homo Americanus—is standing on terra infirma. The entire country hovers six feet over a festering potter’s field of ne’er-do-wells, ready to rise up and commit crimes. Mercifully, there’s a solution.

Deport the dead.

Go back a few generations, and you’ll unearth row after graveyard row of corpses without REAL ID or up-to-date documents. Ignorantia juris non excusat.

I know, I know, great-great-great-great-granddad got legal via the Naturalization Act of 1790. That was then, this is now. You can’t go around grandfather clause-ing every Tomás, Ritschert, and Henryk. What kind of country would America be if the legal system was tied up “interpreting” ancient paperwork originally inked and quilled to address temporally, contemporary and context-specific issues?

Go get your shovel and get ’em outta here!

That takes care of the illegals. On to the traitors.

The poster child for post-mortem deportation is Benedict Arnold. You don’t have to Google him to find out what he did, why he did it, and how it might be slightly more nuanced than you assumed. His crimes are tattooed on the knuckles of American history. (“FUCK BENY.”) Guess what? He was never stripped of his U.S. citizenship. Problem is, he’s buried in London. Can someone set up a Kickstarter to exhume, extradite, and deport this tombstoned turncoat?

Traitors are legion. Anyone who fought on the wrong side of any war or “military conflict” rests in a shovel-ready site. But according to whom? As has been lamented by the greatest anarcho-dadaist philosopher of the day, there are “some very fine people on both sides” of all conflicts. Still, war has clear winners and losers. Just look around. Ad victorem spolias. Thankfully, we have institutions like the National Museum of American History to keep the record and signage straight.

Now into murkier waters. The pre-deceased.

Surely, we can all agree on the cold, hard facts of Religious Science—cinerem ad cinerem, pulverem ad pulverem. U.S. Senator Joni Ernst did a great job warming up the crowd. Still, some folks aren’t quite ready to carpe mortuus.

Luckily, the United States has an empathetic and efficient cadre of federal law enforcement agents and borrowed USPS employees ready to get their hands dirty.

FULL STOP. Unless you’re an ICE agent, this column is over. Need a pithy slogan that ties back to Latin-based irony? Scroll to the end.

Okay, now that it’s just us True Patriots here, we need to talk. ICE has an optics problem. You know, because of your behavior.

Guilty consciences, anyone? Me too. We’ve all got bodies in various states of skeletonization in the closet. Unless you’re full-on First Nations or were brought or bought here, your ancestors were immigrants. Shhh. Keep it down. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t ask for it; you’ve been in on this scam since birth. Kinda like original sin.

(Ignore that low-hanging fruit about migrant workers picking pomegranates in the Garden of Eden. There’s no time for that.)

We need an actionable solution. All the rubes are digging up proverbial dirt because they think second-order Swiftian prose incites ontic change like a horse with peanut butter in its mouth lip-syncing “Look What You Made Me Do”… and now I’ve got a headache.

Just stop being assholes.

If you want to keep this whole “America” thing going, you need to cool it on the racism and bigotry. If people ever realize nation-states are nothing more than tribal brainwashing psyops, this whole house of cards will collapse into kindling. It won’t be another “No Kings Day” walk in the park. Not even an “Occupy Wall Street till we run out of PTO.” The proles might go full French Revolution.

The writing’s on the wall. Romanes eunt domus.

Treat people with dignity and respect. Pretend if you have to. Treat them like your mom. Well, not your actual American single mother, minimum wage slave, who never had time or education to help you with your Algebra homework. Treat them like that horse you read a book about and fantasized about braiding its hair in the fading summer sun, whispering sweet nothings that meant everything, even though, somewhere in the back of your head, you understood your family was only one bounced check away from sending it to the glue factory.

Okay, now I’m gonna dip back into satire in case anyone bothered scrolling.

…

To say nothing of the additional real estate for the homeless and other deplorables.

Grab a shovel. Let’s repatriate the remaining remains to their country of origin, C.O.D. Pro gloria et patria.
