No not even as a joke. don't go near this shit.
In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.

In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

Earlier today I was listening to one of the hosts from Here and Now repeatedly ask a resident from Southeast Chicago whether throwing rocks at ICE was justified. And finally she just said, "They invaded our community. They have machine guns."

There is a difference between righteous anger, directed at injustice, and hateful anger, directed at those who are different. Authoritarian regimes deliberately conflate the two to silence criticism and create false equivalence. It's important we don't let those in power succeed in this endeavor.

Imagine if we weren't struggling to survive to the end of the day, every day. If we instead lived in a world where people solved problems AND created great works, for no reason more than "it didn't exist until I made it."

We could kill the "STEM vs. Arts" debate forever.

'centrists', liberals, whatever you want to call them who think that facts will beat out fascism and that science will win the day should be reminded of things like this

they all keep saying transphobia is 'reasonable concerns' or 'common sense' while completely ignoring what scientists have to say

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

I do find Shapiro's understanding of both Nietzsche and Judaism/Christianity to be utterly fascinating (in that I think it's a *really* poor understanding of both):

BREAKING: Justice Gregory Carro has dismissed the first degree murder charge against Luigi Mangione in his state case, finding the DA put legally insufficient evidence before the grand jury. More TK.

There is real wisdom here. For over a decade, liberals existed in a world in which their opponents have denied that they meant what they said. Now this is unraveling in a frenzy of speech and thought policing by governments who cannot bear to hear their own words spoken back to them.
this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Despite his hateful language and far-right views, Kirk is now being canonized in the media as a modern day political hero.

When they say that Charlie Kirk engaged in civil debate, what they mean is that he was white.

White men calmly telling lies, demonizing the vulnerable, fomenting violence are “civil.”

Oppressed people passionately speaking the truth are not.

Anyone defending Kirk’s “civility” is a collaborator.

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

This narrative that ICE has "backed off" Chicago persists despite a flood of bystander video and reports showing an unprecedented and growing wave of masked terrorists violently kidnapping Illinoisians off the streets in Chicago.

I can only assume our media ecosystem is to blame for this.
Let's say it again:

1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off.

2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off.

It's day by day. But those who said "OK, sure," have gained nothing at all. Except shame.
(CNN) - President Donald Trump shelved his plans to target Chicago as the next city for his domestic crime push after advisers warned him that sending in troops .. could create legal headaches they want to avoid, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

I hate this idea that Charlie Kirk was some sort of public intellectual encouraging free debate. No. He encouraged mean-spirited and childish arguing that purposefully shamed and mocked his opponents via bad faith tactics. The man actually did, in fact, hate the exchange of ideas in such a way
This sets up an absurd standard where the only justification for criticizing Kirk is if he personally committed violence.

But the entire reason liberalism is under attack is the constant lies and endorsement of violence by prominent conservatives, not because they're doing it themselves!

irresponsible makes it sound like a whoopsy

they have been dedicatedly stoking hatred against us in the hopes that it gets more of us killed or otherwise harmed for about a decade now.

Kirk was *literally* mid sentence doing this to us and black communities when he was shot.

it was deliberate.
I try not to do media criticism because we all make mistakes and there but for the grace of god go I. But it was really irresponsible for mainstream outlets to run with the "trans slogans engraved on the bullet" narrative, which seemed implausible from the jump.
