Should I do what Charlie Kirk wanted, and not give a damn about his death? Or should I care—thus rejecting and negating his whole disgusting shtick?

Consider it a red flag if “everybody” online seems to agree. You might be scrolling AI-generated posts by a bot swarm, coordinated to fake consensus, game the algorithm and make fringe ideas look mainstream.
Swarms of AI bots can sway people’s beliefs – threatening democracy
A simulation shows that social media bots powered by today’s AI can infiltrate human networks on social media and influence what people believe.

Nothing describes the soul of the Republican Party more than Pam Bondi citing the stock markets as her excuse for not going after pedophile billionaires.

Of course he hasn’t moved. They moved the entire political spectrum while you weren’t looking. Billionaire-funded astroturf, media repetition, and some offshore accounts. Same grift, new zip code. Normal used to be different. Now it’s whatever the Epstein class paid for

This felt more like work than fun! It seemed to consist of figuring out not what the word could be, but what guess might be most informative in narrowing down options.

Epstein bought 330 gallons of sulphuric acid within days of the FBI opening its probe into him, new docs show.

Receipts and internal emails indicate that six 55-gallon drums were delivered to Little St. James on June 12, 2018. He was obviously tipped off. And he was obviously destroying evidence.

I can't quite shake the feeling that the plot against Starmer was intimately connected with the media.

Even if there was genuine planning and scheming, beyond panicky chatter about upcoming elections, the media were more than an enabler—they were an amplifier.

"To support Nigel Farage and his far-right agenda is to betray every man and woman who gave their lives during the Second World War fighting the extremism that threatens to topple Europe once more.
True patriots know this."

We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Alex Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed.

6. Rising to the challenge of moral consistency does not mean supporting your man through thick and thin. It means standing with the victims, whoever they might be, against the oppressors, whoever they might be. And, if necessary, making yourself unpopular in doing so.

Very telling as someone who knew him well.
Farage is a narcissist out to care about no one else except himself.

Silicon Valley's central claim is that they're futurists—that, via technology, they're engineering a better, brighter future.

It's no longer true.

Their current project is passéism—an attempt, via technology, to wind back the clock to a predemocratic, prescientific, pre-Enlightenment age.

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?

That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

Well. So, Nov 2017, the FBI knew Epstein used videos of underage women. That Epstein was Putin’s wealth manager.

That Epstein was “very close” to Trump. And that Trump went to lunch with Epstein as recently as 2015…so much for that falling out decade(s) before
And perhaps, behind it all, this sea of dark money and kompromat
