there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”
"I wish we could blame this on muslims or migrants, but turns out it was one of us." what a wild thing to say
Oh i miss that place!
Speaking of music... if you're looking for goth-tinged blacklight psychedelia, haunted by the ghosts of raves past and commissioned by a time-traveling space wizard in order to avert an apocalypse at the end of time, check out my music:

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didn’t advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.

Oh wow. I played Tabula Rasa several times last night, and again this morning. Good for the soul.

I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point
More of this.
NEW: Poland's prime minister says he's brief NATO's chief and they're "in constant contact" after Russian drones repeatedly violated his country's airspace.

How many less fucks could we give?
None.
None less fucks.
In absolute earnest, I think terror of “elitism” has put a powerful vocabulary for describing what’s going on here out of play. These people are vulgar, thuggish, unsophisticated, crass, unschooled, unreflective. They are low in a sense that has nothing to do with income, & it’s fine to say so.
On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.

I didn’t know about this, and if I didn’t know about this, then you probably didn’t either.
This should be my entire feed and it’s not and that’s a problem

This sit in has now been going on over 48 hours and I am just hearing about it now

Ive seen Cori Bush and other activists posting about it, but no news media.
Looks amazing!

I clicked on it hoping it would go away and it skipped the entire episode. Not kidding.
