I found @lukethomas.bsky.social looking for MMA coverage. And as I've grown more and more disinterested in UFC I've grown more interested in what he says politically. He's a progressive voice where you might not expect to find one.

Every week I post about the more interesting articles I read/videos I watched. Today:
* A hypothesis for why warmer countries are poor
* The 'Mississippi Miracle' in reading improvements for kids
* A boxer's life being derailed after being hit in the balls

Hereβs what you need to know about UFC White House: itβs two events, not one, and nothing about it is politically neutral.

I did not know that. Cool! Well, like I said, going to focus on what I'm doing, but always down for a convo.

I enjoyed it. It has a lot of good information. Try it out. I believe I got the original recommendation from @lukethomas.bsky.social thank you sir.
NEW: UFC White House is two events: a grandiose spectacle of historical MMA significance AND agitprop for an increasingly authoritarian government.
Itβs fine to just care about having good fights, but itβs also not a crime to notice this broader dual reality: lthomas.substack.com/p/ufc-white-...
I donβt know.
24.09.2025 19:00 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I'm seeing we're being expected to not notice the UFC White House event is the glorification of a president engaged in daily lawless behavior.
Sorry, but I notice that. I'm not entertaining fictions for the very kind of kinship Trump himself rejects.
My take: lthomas.substack.com/p/ufc-white-...
Thank you. I don't know what I am doing, but I felt the need to do something.

The extra Kirk content appears to be stuff cribbed from my live chat. I made the one reax video and the rest is just live chat overflow.

It really is amazing how consistently these days that turning on social media or reading the news for the first time each day is its own little horror show.
