      Didn’t they try to but he refused to accept their terms by not apologizing? (I don’t watch Kimmel but he earned my respect for that.)

        Same, I don’t dislike Kimmel but just never really watched him. Still cancelled Disney+ even though I have a kid that will be very angry not having Bluey on demand.

        It’s us against them for at least the next ~3.5 years (hopefully not longer),

          Physical media still works without resorting to piracy, and setting up a home media server is pretty straightforward.

          Well personally I’d go the piracy route and get Stremio + Torrentio + Real-Debrid. That way the kid will stay happy and you’ll sleep easy knowing that you’re not giving Disney a single cent.

            Kid can just move on to something else. There’s plenty of content out there even without sailing the high seas

              bluey is probably one of if not the best childrens TV ever written though, and it’s not just about teaching kids lessons, it also teaches us parents a lot. i know plenty of parents who will watch bluey even by themselves.

              but its not a disney show and available other networks as well.

          If Kimmel were to donate to tpusa. he’d be helping sites like this which are created by turningpointusa and managed by it: https://www.professorwatchlist.org/ https://www.schoolboardwatchlist.org/

          turning point usa created and manages these sites.

          the teachers targeted by these sites face death threats everyday, women face threats of rape and torture for teaching progressive values in american schools.

          scroll to the bottom and you’ll see its created by turning point usa,

          The aim of the sites(there are more) is to terrorize professors who refuse to teach far right ideology or who oppose it. This is borderline domestic terrorism.

          turning point usa is a hate group.

          They want Kimmel to knowingly endorse and financially support a hate group that fuels domestic terrorism and hatred.

          Its one thing to talk shit about people and say that you personally hate them, its another to create a harassment campaign listing their PII, the place where they work and more to potentially cause a Paul Pelosi situation to happen and get them fired for speaking the obvious.

          charlie is no saint, he crossed a line here.
