    “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,” Kimmel said.

    He didnt even openly celebrate his death. What the fuck? This is enough to unair him?

    I’ve never had or would have a Disney anything … when I watched the Mandolorian I sailed the high seas and I’ll continue to do so for the one or two shows a year that crap company produces. We cancelled a vacation there though and it feels right. That’s 3 to 4k they’re not getting out of us.

    Disney took a potshot at us. We supposed to just sit and take it? Can’t really shoot back without legal trouble so all we can do is drop them and back away from the terminally diseased machine it is

    This is also a reminder to check your local library system to see what shows and movies they have available.

    After Paramount screwed over Colbert, I canceled Paramount+. But my library had the last season of Picard (which was what I was watching anyway).

    Now I’ve canceled Disney and Hulu.

    I’m boycotting/canceling anything to do with this administration. Period. I’ve already banned numerous products from my house, having to purchase products from more independent suppliers who don’t buy into Trump’s bullshit. Canceling a streaming service is no different.

          Comparing Walmart and Target on there is very insightful.

          Target has campaign finance reform but otherwise does worse than Walmart in every way. They have Ted Cruz in their top 5 and fewer senior employees donating to democrats than Walmart. Crazy.

        I had one at one point, but I’m sure someone’s got a better list that’s more current. It’s also important to do your own research so you’re better informed and not just sheeping. My personal reasons for putting a company on a shit list…

        • rolled back DEI (diversity, equality, inclusion)
        • against any form of LGBTQIA+
        • support the Ukrainian war (thus supporting Ruzzia)
        • support the Gaza conflict (thus supporting Israel)
        • have any ties to Trump or related GOP/MAGA noobs
        • are against human compassion and decency
        • are immoral and/or unethical

        Other personal values you hold dear also apply, as long as you yourself aren’t checking boxes. If that’s the case, fuck you too!

    Is this where Disney takes a page out of fElon’s book and tries to sue everyone that is not buying their product?

    Looks like the boycott is real since it’s been reported that Disney has been in talks with Kimmel to being the show back.

    I kind of wish Kimmel would tell them to go fuck their collaborator selves but I’m sure he’s doing this for his staff.

    Also, we need to have a picture of public domain Steamboat Willie telling Disney to go fuck themselves.

    I don’t think it will happen, but I feel a strike may be more effective. I also would think it would be for the best of the people who work there too. Any of them could be on the line in a second for a minor turn of phrase.
