Lots of people asked me for the clip of Charlie Kirk's hatred in his own words. I posted it to YouTube shorts but they blocked it, so here you go! I didn't collect the first 90 seconds, that was floating around social media already.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.
One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

One thing about millennials is that our healing journey inevitably involves realizing that songs that we once thought were romantic and cute are actually toxic ASF and ranting to the youth about the same

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

In Ireland, the Government has been urged to embed AI as a 'core component' of the education system after a study suggested that matching OECD levels of digital innovation could create 14,000 jobs and add €1.8 billion to GDP.
Who funded the study? Google. 🤔
