ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.
not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.

my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it
It’s kind of incredible how little has been published about this guy and how little conservatives seem to care. Did people just forget these people were screeching for civil war when they thought he was a liberal?

"He's doing a building. He talked about the marble that is going to be put in. He said, 'am I better at building or am I better at politics?' It relaxes him to think about these projects."

War on Terrorism #movie 🎬🎥 take: "Zero Dark Thirty" is dead boring and 45 minutes too long. I get it: intelligence work is a lot of shoe-leather frustration and dead ends. But even the most earnest 1950s police procedurals did more to generate viewer interest.

December 4, 1959: Twilight Zone's "Judgment Night" airs. A man (Nehemiah Persoff) finds himself on a ship in the Atlantic in 1942 with no idea who he is or how he got there. U-boats prowl. Why his strange premonition of doom?

Normally the creators of beloved children’s cartoon characters would not need to disavow the U.S. Secretary of Defense, but ours is a drunken miscreant, a loutish boor with the dignity and nobility of a counterfeit butt-plug

Yikes. This band of maybe 2nd cousins once removed is supposed to be an elite group of paratroopers, but they whine, bitch, gripe, and shout in the jungle while they're supposed to be evading Japanese patrols hunting them. Surprisingly weak, especially for a late-war Warners propaganda 🎥.

Trump retreats on Epstein files. Three lessons:
1. It can be easier to fracture the MAGA coalition than get "responsible" Republicans to step up.
2. Democrats should fight rather than find reasons not to fight.
3. Dems need to be anti-elitist not just anti-GOP.
