My latest: Charlie Kirk was a gutter bigot who built his career on censorship and bussed insurrectionists to the Capitol on J6. Why are liberals like Ezra Klein trying to paint him as a paragon of reason and dialogue?
Why are some liberals turning Charlie Kirk into a martyr for liberal democracy?
Holding him up as a champion of dialogue paints him in a false light to millions who might only know him in death, writes Lindsay Beyerstein.

The tech bros have never delivered a meaningful product people actually asked for and wanted.
Had that been their actual focus, instead of trying to fund the total subjugation and then elimination of all workers in the name of capital, we’d have hoverboards by now.

Feeding the cats is one of the hardest things for me to do after losing one. They usually have individual placemats and spots they eat in, so it's very obvious that something is missing 💔
We washed their mats and without thinking, put all of them back.

We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Probably time to loudly repeat that members of the military must not follow illegal orders. The US is not at war with Venezuela and has no right to threaten aircraft in its airspace, let alone shoot anything down.

1. Substantial reduction in vaccine access
2. Significantly increased vaccine-preventable disease
