I saw that @JAS0N47 mentioned elsewhere that they return to taping on November 3rd.

Looks like both June and Jacob are alive, so what is Naomi's "heartbreaking loss"? I guess it's not a person. Does Naomi lose a legal case?

I haven't been watching Days, but happened upon this clip from today - a scene mentioned abovethread - and thought it was interesting

from Senator Chris Murphy, Connecticut - an 8-part thread social media handle "chrismurphyct" Full thread via bluesky (bsky thread link) same full thread via twitter (twitter thread link) [begin thread] The Kimmel suspension is a much bigger deal than you know. It's really about a growing alliance between Trump and the companies that own America's local TV stations - like Nexstar - to turn local TV into Trump propaganda. 1/ Let me tell you the short story. It's chilling. 2/ In August, Nexstar announced they wanted to buy another TV station company, Tegna. But that's illegal - because it would give Nexstar control of stations in nearly half the country. FCC rules prohibit ONE company from having THAT much control over local TV content. 3/ Why? Because one company shouldn't control local speech in half the country. Also, we want our local TV stations to be run by local actors to preserve local identity and prevent our culture from becoming soullessly flattened - which Nexstar was already doing! 4/ But good news for Nexstar! Brendan Carr, Trump's FCC Chair, said he's open to an unprecedented change in the rules to allow the Nexstar-Tegna merger to go through - which would be good ONLY for the filthy rich owners of both companies. Which means Nexstar has to play ball. 5/ So when Carr threatened to revoke the licenses of local stations that continued to air Kimmel - at the same time he was whispering to Nexstar that he might bend the rules to approve their billion dollar merger - Nexstar knew what to do: BEND THE KNEE. How Jimmy Kimmel Might Have Just Been Sacrificed for a Multibillion-Dollar TV Deal You may not be too familiar with Nexstar CEO Perry Sook. But he and his company are a big reason Kimmel is off the air. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/jimmy-kimmel-nexstar-merger-sook-1236375489/ 6/ Perry Sook, the Nexstar CEO, is already worth over $500 million. This deal could make him a billionaire. If Nexstar controls local TV news content in half the country - and Sook owes his fortune to Trump - then Trump effectively controls content in half the nation. 7/ And it’s not just Nexstar! Sinclair, another right-leaning media group that owns local TV stations, demanded Kimmel apologize and make a donation to Charlie Kirk’s organization. Guess what? Sinclair also wants the FCC to increase the ownership cap for TV stations. 8/ So here's how it would work. Nexstar/Sinclair pledge loyalty to Trump. He gives them control over America's local TV. And they act as his political enforcers, silencing his critics. But if we see the scheme, we can stop it. By mobilizing and speaking out. [end thread]

More on Brendan Carr of the FCC https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/trumps-fcc-chair-gets-to-work-on-punishing-news-stations-accused-of-bias/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Carr#Commissioner_of_the_Federal_Communications_Commission_(2017–2025) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Carr#Chair_of_the_Federal_Communications_Commission_(2025–present)

No it's *not* all about money. Sure money and ratings are a factor, but that's not why Kimmel was abruptly removed midseason. This is accurate: Carr may not legally have the authority but he's "taking" the authority. This is about Project 2025. FCC Brendan Carr is into that. He might use ratings and the business dealings of individual stations and Nexstar/Tegna/Sinclair as an *excuse*, but that wasn't Carr's motivation. His true motivation is his fanatical ideology. And, case in point, someone tweeted that this was all about Project 2025, and BrendonCarr of the FCC replied with a gif of nodding grinning Jack Nicholson. https://x.com/BrendanCarrFCC/status/1968521297974923696

This is John Oliver's 2017 expose on Sinclair Broadcasting and what they make their stations' staffs do ... this is from 8 years ago, but I think most of the same ideas are still true, but likely much worse now:

Omg. well then. ha!

Just seeing her face is making me cry. (in a good way)

This! That's what I've been saying! Eva switched around the June 26th episode, abruptly, from being against Leslie but still doing her own scheming -- to coddling Leslie. She was much more interesting before that switch.

Jimmy Kimmel's monologue Sept. 16, 2025 which the the fascist in charge of the FCC used as reason to pull the show.
