Jimmy Kimmel says silencing comedians is ‘anti American’, as his show returns to air after suspension
The host’s monologue noted that the suspension of his late night programme had ignited a national debate over free speech
Jimmy Kimmel returned to air on Tuesday night, calling government threats to silence comedians “anti American”, as he broke his silence about the suspension from ABC which ignited a national debate over free speech and outcry over the bullying tactics of the Trump administration.
“This show is not important” Kimmel said during his first monologue since Disney, which owns ABC, suspended his late-night show from the network last week under pressure from Trump officials over his comments on the shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. “What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.”
Kimmel’s comments come one day after Disney, facing backlash from Hollywood stars, unions, media hosts and even Republicans such as Ted Cruz, allowed Jimmy Kimmel Live! to resume production.

How to Use a Grammar Checker for Beginners: Tips to Polish Your Writing?
Writing well is a valuable skill whether you’re a student, professional, or content creator. Clear, error-free writing builds credibility and helps your message shine. However, spotting every mistake on your own can be difficult. This is where digital tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and AI content detectors become essential. If you are just getting started, this guide will walk you through how to use these tools effectively to polish your writing.
Why Use a Grammar Checker?
Grammar checkers are designed to detect common writing issues such as spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, subject-verb disagreements, and improper sentence structures. For beginners, they serve as a user-friendly solution to improve writing quality without needing advanced grammar knowledge.
Benefits include:
• Saving time on proofreading
• Catching unnoticed errors
• Improving sentence clarity
• Offering learning opportunities with explanations of mistakes
How to Use a Grammar Checker
1. Choose a Tool – Popular options include Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and Quillbot. Many offer free versions with basic features.
2. Paste or Upload Your Text – Most tools let you copy-paste text or upload a document directly.
3. Review Suggestions – Pay attention to each correction offered. A good practice is to understand why the correction is suggested rather than just accepting it blindly.
4. Apply or Ignore – Not every suggestion fits your writing style. Use judgment to accept corrections that improve clarity without changing the meaning.
5. Recheck Your Work – After edits, run the text again to ensure it is polished.
Adding a Plagiarism Checker
While grammar checkers fix errors, plagiarism checkers ensure originality. Beginners often unintentionally copy text by paraphrasing too closely or forgetting citations.
How to use a plagiarism checker:
• Paste your text into a reliable tool like Turnitin, Grammarly’s plagiarism checker, or Quetext.
• Review the report, which highlights matched content sources.
• Rephrase flagged sections or add proper citations to make your work original.
Using a plagiarism checker not only prevents academic or professional issues but also boosts your credibility as a writer.
Free AI Content Detector: Ensuring Authenticity
With the rise of AI-generated text, many institutions and platforms now require proof that content is authentically human-written. Free AI content detectors help by analyzing whether your text resembles machine-generated language.
Steps for beginners:
• Copy and paste your work into a detector tool such as GPTZero, Originality.ai, or Scribbr’s AI detector.
• Check the percentage score—it will show how “human-like” your writing appears.
• If your score suggests high AI involvement, review areas that sound generic or overly formal. Rewrite them in your voice for more authenticity.
Best Practices for Beginners
• Use these tools as a guide, not a crutch. Don’t rely on them to do all the thinking for you.
• Combine grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and content detectors for a complete polish.
• Always reread your work manually; no tool is 100% perfect.
• Learn from the corrections. Over time, you’ll notice fewer mistakes in your drafts.
Final Thoughts
For beginners, writing may seem overwhelming, but tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and AI content detectors simplify the process. They ensure your writing is not only error-free but also original and human-authentic. By using these tools wisely, you can grow into a confident writer with polished, professional content.

'Your countries are going to hell': Trump berates Europe, slams United Nations
In a 55-minute speech on Tuesday that defied the very mission of the United Nations itself, US President Donald Trump called global warming "a con job", European policies on clean energy "suicidal", and accused the UN of offering little more than "empty words".
The remarks were Trump's first of his second term in office, and much of it focused on brandishing his domestic achievements and deriding the UN and other countries' policies on immigration, peacemaking, climate change and multilateralism.
The president said his country was now in a "golden age", and imparted lessons to "the free world": close your borders, and return to traditional energy sources. "Your countries are going to hell," he said.

Can someone please help me get a Matlab crack installing?
I've tried 2 different Windows cracks I found -- the FileCR 2023b crack, and the AppDoze 2025a crack. Both look legit to me but in both cases I get the exact same issue: With my computer offline, following the readmes, I mount the iso, run setup.exe, select "I have a File Installation Key", enter said key, and get this error: "Unable to load product files. Product files must be in the same folder as the input file. For help getting the product files, see the installation documentation on MATLAB Answer" which links to mathworks.com/matlabcentral/an… which is clear as mud.
I tried 0ing out the key and confirmed that it recognizes when you give it a bad key, so the key in the crack is still detected as a valid key, that's probably not the issue.
Thank you to any fellow pirate who can help a poor cuttlefish out o7 ❤
EDIT: Based on mathworks.com/matlabcentral/an…
I should be able to use the installer (once logged in) to download files without installing, then go offline and use the file installation key. However, the option to download files without installing is all greyed out.
Interesting. Many people reporting similar problems with that one, but someone in June claims to have had success with the very version of 2025a I tried!
It appears Matlab took down their installers for every version of Matlab other than 2025b. I wonder if that's why now I can't install these. But I don't understand, it's supposed to work offline.
How Israel’s West Bank strategy aims to bury Palestinian statehood

Home to 2.7 million Palestinians, the Israeli-occupied West Bank has long been at the heart of plans for a future nation existing alongside Israel. The model is known as the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and would also include Gaza. It is backed by most countries around the world.But the construction of settlements for Israelis has reduced the land left for Palestinians, cutting their towns and cities off from each other.
Approval to build settlements has accelerated rapidly under the current Israeli government, which includes vehemently pro-settler parties that want to annex the West Bank to Israel.

While Carr complained that Democrats interpreted his comments as a threat to Disney, he didn't mention that his comments were also interpreted as a threat by several prominent Senate Republicans. Disney suspended Kimmel's show last week after Carr said ABC affiliates could have licenses revoked for "news distortion," but reinstated Kimmel yesterday after facing backlash from the public. Kimmel will be back on the air on many ABC-affiliated stations, but not those run by Nexstar and Sinclair, which have replaced Jimmy Kimmel Live! with news and other programming.

Google just broke *all* third-party YT clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required.
So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.
This reeks of DRM.
UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.
UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.

Democratic lawmakers demand answers from TV station owners over pulling Jimmy Kimmel's show
ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" returns Tuesday night, but Nexstar and Sinclair are keeping the show off their affiliate stations.
Four Democratic lawmakers are opening a probe into Nexstar and Sinclair, two major TV station owners that are refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show amid criticism of his on-air comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
In a letter, first obtained by NBC News, the lawmakers asked the corporate heads of both companies for more information about their decisions to pre-empt airings of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “how those decisions may relate to regulatory issues pending with the Trump administration.”
“If you suspended a late-night comedian’s show in part to seek regulatory favors from the administration, you have not only assisted the administration in eroding First Amendment freedoms but also create the appearance of a possible quid-pro-quo arrangement that could implicate federal anti-corruption laws,” the lawmakers wrote.

Hi,

But when asking the API : jlai.lu/api/v3/comment/list?po…
An empty array is returned.
Why ?
Thanks
Looking at the network tab while loading a thread, I see you need to include type_=All.
(lemmy-ui sends other parameters too but your example URL works for me with just tyoe_=All added.)
Thanks.
Now, why isn't that required for an older post ?

Documents offer rare insight on Ice’s close relationship with Palantir
ver the past decade, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (Ice) has amassed millions of data points that it uses to identify and track its targets – from social media posts to location history and, most recently, tax information.
And there’s been one, multibillion-dollar tech company particularly instrumental in enabling Ice to put all that data to work: Palantir, the data analytics firm co-founded by Peter Thiel, the rightwing mega-donor and tech investor.
For years, little was known about how Ice uses Palantir’s technology. The company has consistently described itself as a “data processor” and says it does not play an active role in any of its customers’ data collection efforts or what clients do with that information.
Now, a cache of internal Ice documents – including hundreds of pages of emails between Ice and Palantir, as well as training manuals, and reports on the use of Palantir products – offer some of the first real-world examples of how Ice has used Palantir in its investigations and during on-the-ground enforcement operations.

GSA walks back mass layoffs of its federal buildings workforce
The General Services Administration is looking to reinstate hundreds of laid-off employees who managed its governmentwide real estate portfolio.
GSA’s Public Buildings Service is giving laid-off employees the option to return to their jobs, after sending them reduction-in-force notices earlier this year.
“This serves as an update to your previously issued notice of reduction in force. Your specific notice of Reduction in Force (RIF) has been rescinded, effective immediately,” acting PBS Commissioner Andrew Heller wrote in a notice obtained by Federal News Network.
GSA is giving PBS employees until the end of the day on Friday, Sept. 26, to accept or decline reinstatement. If employees accept the offer, they must report to their previous posts by Oct. 6.
