The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

The media's bowdlerized eulogies of Charlie Kirk are rightly noting the lives ruined by yesterday's events, at the expense of the surely hundreds more lives ruined to get TPUSA over the viral hump on a random Tuesday.
The Life and Legacy of Charlie 4Chan - Truthdig
Public officials who went silent after Democratic lawmakers were executed in their homes are tripping over themselves to honor the man who franchised internet chan culture as politics.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

A case study in how not to do an interview. He let Johnson filibuster over and over with repeated outrageous lies that went unchallenged. Asked three times about Johnson’s position on deficits and let him bob and weave. Just cringeworthy.

Many liberals and progressives understand the Supreme Court to be a bastion of rights and a bulwark against the excesses of an oppressive majority.

But, for most of its history outside the Warren Court, the Supreme Court has been a bastion of oligarchy and white supremacy. This is its normal.
🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, concluding that it does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex, is not subject to heightened scrutiny, and survives rational basis review. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The great thing about journalism is all the gifted reporters and editors have lost the jobs they went into debt to train for and sacrificed their emotional health to do well, but half a dozen middle-aged moral disasters are now the face of the whole discipline because they suck up to billionaires

I own a Val Kilmer hat and mug. I wasn’t some diehard fan but Top Secret and Real Genius are easily two of the best ten comedies of all time.

He was great as a dramatic actor but I always felt he was at his best in comedy. There was this mischievous streak that always shined through.

RIP, Neeck.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

Democrats complaining that Republicans are hypocrites is like the Washington Generals complaining about how the Harlem Globetrotters get to use wacky tricks to win basketball games. Yeah, man, that’s how the game you’re playing works. You’re choosing to be on a team whose job is to lose the game.
