We now know Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson followed Laura Loomer on X. Is this the tweet that pushed him over the edge?

now there's an obit I can get behind

www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

I’ve imported the conference on YouTube into Recall.AI (I’ve paid for a licence)

This has made a summary and transcript so you can have a record of what has been said:

Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell has passed at 97 www.nasa.gov/news-release...
One of my early young journalist memories was getting to interview him and Ron Howard on a red carpet in Austin for a screening of Apollo 13. I bragged about it for a while! (I'm the mop of brown curly hair)

I teach biology and psychology so am always looking for up-to-date information about current research - loved the book and want to go deeper :-)

Listened to part 1 & 2 on Audible here in NZ en route to skiing- great listen!

Do you have recommendations on what to read to go further and are you going to write more yourself??

A guy say next to me in a VIP seat at the 2012 Olympics (Boxing). I was an anti doping chaperone.

‘Bonkers’ came on in the arena & I turned to the guy & said “I really *hate* this song!”. The guy said yes, he did too.

Later, I was told he was Dizzee Rascal (Bonkers singer/rapper). I had no idea.

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

Looks very interesting - will have to get a copy. I researched alternative nitrogenases in Cyanobacteria many years ago and am now into lichens, mosses and liverworts :-)
