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.

It's not hard.

Murder and acts of political violence are wrong.

AND ... making money and harming real people by mainstreaming bigotry, misogyny, and fascism, while also promoting violence, are also wrong.

AND ... that the latter leads to the former is not surprising.

I'm sorry, but if the phrase "wash out the pan" appears anywhere in your "one-pan" recipe, then legally it is not a one-pan recipe.

Perhaps my biggest irrational fear as a child was becoming a professional baseball player and having some kid with a terminal disease ask me to hit a home run for him and I'm like sure kid then go 0-4 with 3 Ks

Moby Dick wasn't the only song to make me fall in love with rock tracks with no lyrics, but it was instrumental.
