Charlie Kirk's greatest enemies were the Groypers of Nick Fuentes, it seems - and the bullet engravings bear that out.

Every day, kids.
Every fucking day 🇺🇸
“If you saw the video of the Charlie Kirk shooting, you know how horrible and gruesome it was. Now imagine it was a class of six and seven-year-olds… 20 of them. That was Sandy Hook in 2012 and we have done virtually nothing since then.”

Call Senator Cassidy and demand hearings on RFK’s attack on our country 🇺🇸⚕️
Because he’s an MD, chairs the Senate Health Committee, bears personal responsibility for confirming RFK, Jr., to his position, and was called on by fired CDC head to provide oversight. Also, his political career in Louisiana was built on providing vaccines to children. Also he will NEVER be reelected as a Republican in Louisiana, so does not really have anything to lose.

A friend wrote me: Hello! Did you know that chirpbooks.com has all three Tremontaine anthologies on sale for $2.99 and $3.99? They do have #4, but it's listed under Delia's name and is very much not on sale: $32.99.

Happy Dorothy Parker’s Birthday, my friends! Here’s a little something from Marcus Bale to celebrate:
August 22 -- Dorothy Parker's birthday Another Sonnet Another sonnet he sent me, which I burned. How cursively the poet's hand had drawn it, Petrarchan, as it delicately yearned, Another sonnet. I knew the octet, sestet, volta -- learned From his enthusiastic discourse on it -- How everything is balanced as he turned Another sonnet. I would have thought, by now, he'd sense I'd spurned The whole idea of sonnets, but, doggone it, It seems he thinks that somehow I have earned Another sonnet.
