In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll cover the agenda-setting and flood of disinformation that spread on X and other platforms right after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It’s far from the first or last time a tragedy has been weaponized for political purposes.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

The case against babies. Mr E Musk believes the collapsing birth rate is humanity’s biggest danger. But antinatalists argue having kids is little more than a procreational Ponzi scheme & the risks are real. This is the case against babies.

ANZ has acted deceitfully and it has profited. Misconduct of this magnitude cannot be waived through as business as usual. I asked ASIC, after 7 misconduct investigations in 8 years, where's the proof this fine alone will change the culture?
