it's absolutely critical to understand in this moment that people aren't largely reacting to who Charlie Kirk was as a person, but who they knew him as because of what tiny pieces of him got clipped out and stuck in their newsfeeds.
reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

Women are lagging behind on going bankrupt on DraftKings, drinking themselves to death, and fist-fighting anyone who looks at them funny on the subway but they can catch up.

This man has replaced his friends with AI in his social life and has replaced himself with AI at work. At what point do the wealthy realize they can do this because their lives have no value, and this does not translate to the rest of society?

It’s great living in a neurodiverse house. The combinations of all our wacky traits are so fun! For instance, extraneous noises make it hard for me to focus on anything. Meanwhile one of my child’s current stims is humming so there is literally noise coming out of them all of the time please kill me

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

My favourite part of Budget day is hearing how amateur economist and part time Olympic high diving judge Garry from Toowoomba could’ve done it better.

RFK Jnr has killed people. He’s promoted dangerous ideologies that have lead to people dying.
He’s lied. Over and over and over again. He’s amplified conspiracies under the guise of “just asking questions”.
He is a deluded, dangerous person and his words and actions will cost lives.

I work at a school. Many years ago some made a general comment about how wild the kids were being. Someone else replied that it was a full moon and everyone made an “oh that makes sense” noise. I rolled my eyes and forgot about it.
Anyway, kids are really off today. Just googled. It’s a full moon.
