Just my luck, this airport bar behind security at KAUS will not permit me to carry a concealed firearm in here. I thought this was America. 😂

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

No, I will not celebrate this evil, vile, man who knowingly distributed hateful lies, intending to fuel hate in others. If you think he's so great, own his words. Own his entire body of work. Be proud! Go on record yourself saying "this is what I believe" and post it. Anything less is cowardice.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

"...this is a virus, this is a cancer that’s spreading across this country."

"...and we have to get them off the internet and can't let them communicate with each other. I'm all about free speech, but..."

"We have to get them off the streets..."

The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.

Do you know how much it would fuckin' rule ass if over 20% of the county were trans

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

Just watched @deviantollam.bsky.social’s enough is enough talk. I wish I’d had someone telling me these things when I was starting out my career. Massive burnout and disappointing a bunch of people through saying yes are hazards you should plan for. youtu.be/aUXHItYNKYY?...

Hey there, internet friends. I feel like I make this request maybe once or twice a year, and I know that I generally come up with zilch... but here I go again: do I know *anybody* in New York City with a guest room who likes me enough to host me for a day or two? 😏🤞

News orgs HAVE to stop calling these porn bans. Yes, #HB4938, does also criminalize porn — also terrible — it goes far beyond that. LGBTQ+ sites, social media sites, community forums, Shakespeare, drag, a review of Mrs. Doubtfire, all punishable by jail $500K fine and twenty years in jail.

Wow so I guess this is happening right now... www.youtube.com/live/D70A8Sm...

This is an amusing theory and one where I can't find great fault. 😁

Today marks 30 years since the release of "Hackers"! What does this movie mean to you?

I was invited to be the closing keynote at BSidesRDU this past weekend. Some folk found my presentation there, and the ensuing Q&A, somewhat moving... youtu.be/aUXHItYNKYY ... recording there is 30min talk, 30min discussion. Both were very rewarding. 💚

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

The official language of Jamaica is....wait for it.... English. These performances truly are targeted only at the stupidest people alive

And none of this is true! Kirk was illiberal, not just because his politics necessarily required erasing broad swaths of the population from public life, but because he was an inveterate liar and propagandist. The bar for liberalism is not set at "will talk to another person."

In a world that feels chaotic and bad at every turn, it's important to also pay attention to the wins that we are all chalking up collectively, as well. 💚

I think this is the best analysis so far. There's a new generation of nihilistic, post-meaning psychos out there whose brains have been turned into foie gras from being force-fed disinformation. They assume the world is doomed and there's no future, so they just want to cause chaos for the lulz.

Yes, we recorded the presentation. Yes, it will be posted online. Content Warning: things get very vulnerable and some intense feels get discussed and shared between speaker and audience on this one. 🫂

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

yeah everything points towards this shooter being an internet poisoned weirdo

Remember: If it turns out he’s a leftist, that indicates a pervasive problem of violence on the left. If it turns out he’s a groyper, that means nothing whatsoever and he will disappear from the news cycle immediately.

Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot

Trying to take courage from Bolsonaro's sentencing today. Nothing is inevitable, and fighting for the right thing always matters.

Anybody who took the rumors about "political statements written on bullets" at face value... Have you considered that you might be the dumbest motherfuckers alive at this point? Do you not know the timeline that we're living in?

If you fanned the flames by rushing to post the unconfirmed rumor about the bullets of Charlie Kirk's assassin having trans stuff written on them, please take a moment to consider whether the clicks were worth it

Some MAGA whacko on chans: This is the Trantifa agenda inscribed right here on the bullet case! It says "L C O 1 0" which means "let's change our penis (the number 1 symbol) to a vagina (the number 0 symbol) and the (+) is them talking about children's surgery!!1!" Editors: "Makes sense, run it."

One final thing. It's odd to see Ezra Klein, a total policy nerd, say Kirk did politics the right way when Kirk had almost no interest in either policy, or the empirical rigor necessary to get policy right. Kirk's approach to politics was 99% culture war rage stoking w/ almost no policy content.

“Oh, you know the ones.”

As expected, "Sources say" is really having a banger of a day, I can see. 🙄

you heard the man

Imagine spending your life spreading the most hateful rhetoric you can manage, dying doing that very thing, and then all of the media in your country completely denies your life's work under threat of termination. Sad

Live your life in such a way that when you die, people aren’t able to cite thousands of comments you’ve made advocating the deaths of others.

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

Live your life and conduct yourself so that if you're gunned down in public nobody feels the need to tell others that it's inappropriate to celebrate your death.

You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

When some maga bigot shoots a bunch of kids, or a synagogue, or a mosque, or a Walmart, or a supermarket, that's a lone wolf with mental problems. When it's one of theirs who get shot, it's a sophisticated leftist plot, and every single liberal is in on it. That's how it works for the magas.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”
