There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

it's been pretty revelatory that in order to do Kirk the kindness of painting him in a wholesome light here on the hour of his death, one must go to gymnastic lengths to avoid any mention of his literal statements and beliefs which is pretty odd for a celebrated debater

The disconcerting thing is how a lot of Trump supporters are treating this shooting as different because it happened to someone they think of as a person.

An accurate and reasonable point. This is is a perfect moment to present the world with his actual views, not to conceal them because they might make him look bad.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Who Was Charlie Kirk? What to Know About the Turning Point USA Founder and His Views Kirk was fatally shot during a campus event on September 10.

Far-right political activist Charlie Kirk was shot dead on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. Here's what you need to know about the CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA's background and views

Content warning: This story refers to a viral, violent video of a shooting.

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didn’t advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

The gall to expect the nation to mourn a man who happened to suffer the price he demanded other people pay for the policies he supported is quite something.

He didn't care when any of us normal people were killed in this exact same manner.

strange to look at this - probably the greatest impromptu speech in U.S. history - and think: this man will be killed two months later and his son will go on to murder millions of people worldwide.

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

"no one wants a government handout"

It's OUR MONEY. Our. Money.

Every purchase, every paycheck, every year's filing, we pay into taxes. That is alllll a government money is. Our money, pooled in hopes it can be used to better everyone's lives, not to provide a "government handout" to the rich.

Being an adult is saying "I just have to get through this week" every week until you die.

Oh please let these be getting filmed for those of us who aren't able to make the live shows!

Just got mine!

Cover of the world according to mister Rogers by Fred rogers

Text from the book: The values we care about the deepest, and the movements within society that support those values, command our love. When those things that we care about so deeply become endangered, we become enraged. And what a healthy thing that is! Without it, we would never stand up and speak out for what we believe.

what would mister rogers do?

get enraged

seriously. his word choice. he gave us permission, said it's healthy:

If you ever share / repost anything, please let it be this

“I have too many books”
-judgemental
-boring
-implies impulse-control issues

“The books... they have me.”
- mysterious
- occult
- implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage
