there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

"I wish we could blame this on muslims or migrants, but turns out it was one of us." what a wild thing to say

Speaking of music... if you're looking for goth-tinged blacklight psychedelia, haunted by the ghosts of raves past and commissioned by a time-traveling space wizard in order to avert an apocalypse at the end of time, check out my music: etherdiver.bandcamp.com #musicsky

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didn’t advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.

I see the "fuck your feelings" crowd are suddenly back to "why are you so mean?" Did something happen?

Feeling empathy for people who don't see your humanity is a wild ass choice

I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point

How many less fucks could we give? None. None less fucks.

In absolute earnest, I think terror of “elitism” has put a powerful vocabulary for describing what’s going on here out of play. These people are vulgar, thuggish, unsophisticated, crass, unschooled, unreflective. They are low in a sense that has nothing to do with income, & it’s fine to say so.

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.

A group of volunteers are hoping to prevent or stop federal officials from making arrests by warning families of ICE sightings in the Chicago neighborhoods where the most immigrants live: “We’re just eyes and ears in the community.”

This economic stagnation should worry everyone. 1 and 4 companies has a hiring freeze right now. Hiring managers are anticipating a recession. And instead of doing anything to fix it, Trump fired the person who counts the jobs.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
