“The images were all of schoolgirls in short skirts with either bare legs or stockings….The post of her child attracted nearly 7,000 views, 90% from non-followers, half of whom were over 44 and 90% of whom were men.”

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.
One thing that I think some not-youngs forget (and is different from 20 years ago) is that Kirk used his ‘debates’ to generate video that could go viral and, to use an old phrase, catapult the propaganda. His debates weren’t in any way, shape, or form educational.
When Charlie Kirk, who put together lists of professors he didn't like so people could target & harass them, used the phrase "free speech", he used it in the same way creationists use "teach the controversy." For Kirk, it was just another way to bludgeon the left and also to promote his propaganda.

LOL. Ghislaine Maxwell also said Jeffrey Epstein never did anything disturbing around her! That's how she caught two perjury charges.
Was this before or after they promised to move her to Club Fed and dangled a pardon? Not that it really matters, but I'd still like to know, just for completeness.

I am wondering why Lisa Leher from the @nytimes.com did not discuss the data that suggests political violence in the US in the current era mostly comes from the right. Seems like a strange fact to ignore. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...
