Oct 12, 2022 - Screen grab of a tweet from Jason Campbell:

Still from the Charlie Kirk show Charlie speaking. Underneath the quote from Charlie reads a quote from Charlie’s broadcast that day:

“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage.”

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Counterculture and punk rock is when all of the richest companies in the world try to force you to use something

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. It’s viral. It’s accessible. It’s refreshing. It’s welcoming. It’s here.

I think Effectively Wild was doing a running “can you believe how unlucky Mitch Keller has been?” based on his K and BB% for most of those years.
