Not At All

 

Morning

I never watched the late-night talk shows after Johnny Carson retired, so it's not like I'll miss them. But when Colbert was informed his show would not be renewed, The Felon said, "I absolutely love that Colbert was fired. Kimmel will be next."

I wonder how he knew? Some folks think it's all about First Amendment rights. Not at all.

Colbert's happened because CBS was waiting for FCC approval for a merger. Kimmel is because ABC is waiting for FCC approval to gobble up a bunch of local affiliate stations. Upon hearing of Kimmel's firing, Trump posted, "That leaves Jimmy [Fallon] and Seth [Meyers], two total losers on Fake News NBC. ... Do it NBC!!!"

Just follow the money.

Have a wonderful Thursday.

Here's a good one, also recommended by Sixpence

ALL BOYS AREN'T BLUE

By George M. Johnson

The collection of personal essays chronicles their experience as a queer Black person in the United States. Of course, honest descriptions of gender identity, racism and queer love have raised the hackles of those who advocate for banning books with sensitive content and have landed it on this roundup of banned books. Yes, All Boys Aren’t Blue includes graphic content that might not be appropriate for some younger readers, but the book is also an essential work of representation.

Available at Amazon, Apple Books, and Barnes & Noble

FLAMER

By Mike Curato

Another book challenged for its depictions of LGBTQ experiences, Flamer is a coming-of-age graphic novel by award-winning author and illustrator Mike Curato who, according to NPR, knows boys the way “Judy Blume knows a teenaged girl, and that’s quite a bit.” 

Despite its challenged status, Jarret J. Krosoczka, author of Hey, Kiddo, argues that this book about finding yourself at summer camp “will save lives.” Hopefully, it can find its way into those lives to save them.

Available at Amazon, Apple Books, and Barnes & Noble
