Very impressed by the pilot episode of #KnightsOfGuinevere.
Its Disney-inspired cyberpunk setting seems like it would be right up @pluralistic 's alley. Imagine the setting of Battle Angel Alita, but Zalem is a theme park.
Very much want this to get a full season.
Free on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCAdbUaMlAE
CW: it's for mature audiences and has violence and robotic body horror.

"For Trump, he may want to take note of the fact that when the likes of Ted Cruz step up to defend Jimmy Kimmel, then he just may have committed a rather major error in judgment. As Kimmel said hilariously on his show, Trump might have to release the Epstein files now just to distract attention from this screwup.

"I’m happy to see this. It’s great that Trump is choosing to up the ante.
As I wrote yesterday, the more visible this becomes, the closer it gets pushed to the center of popular culture, the better."

Robert McCoy notes that in a Truth Social post Tuesday, Trump "blew all MAGA rationalizations out of the water: Trump just wants to punish media figures he deems guilty of lèse-majesté against him."
MAGA had tried to put daylight between Trump and Kimmel's censoring by ABC/Disney. Trump would have none of that and wants us to know he was responsible.

"Although Jimmy Kimmel Live! was preempted in about 23% of the homes that use television, ABC said 6.26 million people tuned in to watch. Kimmel’s usual television audience is about 1.42 million. ABC says another 26 million people watched his monologue on social media, including YouTube."

"More than a million people had canceled Disney streaming subscriptions as of Monday, the Disney source told me, and the company likely knew that trend would only continue the longer they kept Kimmel silenced. Once they brought him back, there may have been a window of opportunity to reel them back in."

"Jimmy Kimmel’s return to ABC drew 6.26 million viewers—over four times his usual audience—despite preemptions in nearly a quarter of U.S. households, with his comeback monologue also surpassing 26 million views online and marking the show’s best 18–49 rating in more than a decade."

"Protests are popping up outside headquarters for Sinclair and Nexstar—owners of many ABC affiliates who are still refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel’s show."

"Then, late last night, President Trump busted all of their knees by insisting it was him doing it all along and says now he’s going to go to war even harder against ABC/Disney for having the temerity to bring Kimmel back after (Trump claims) telling him they canceled his show."
"For the last 48 hours or so, Trump’s toadies and martinets have been putting on a performance which is one half gaslighting, one half effort to create a bit of distance between FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s extortion and ABC’s decision to (now-temporarily) pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air."
