Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

senator Mike Lee calling for Kirk's estate to sue Stephen King for correctly pointing out that Kirk once advocated for gay people to be stoned to death

mike lee allegedly went to law school and passed the bar. aside from stephen king's claim being true, a dead person's estate can't sue for defamation, on account of the fact that a dead person can't suffer an injury to their reputation, because they are dead.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Crazy how much damage Trump has inflicted in 167 days. Also, friendly reminder that at least 300,000 people died in Iraq, if not a million, so at least 30 times the worst estimates when the conflict started.

Let's all be the rain on this motherfucker's parade.

ICE agents should be shunned out of polite society. When you meet someone and they tell you they work for ICE, you should recoil as if they told you they work at the puppy slaughter factory. Shame needs to mean something.

“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.”

A sign that says "Hobbit Cafe: Legendary Food" and there's a spear pointing to the restaurant. It has the Bakski art style of Gandalf in blue robes and white beard. A sign reads: "Hobbit customers free parking entire lot!" and there's a tree in the background.

I'm a sucker for novelty restaurants.

The Hobbit Cafe in Houston, TX started in 1972 as a vegetarian restaurant under a spreading live oak.

They offer 'Second Breakfast' (brunch) on Sat. & Sun. The main menu offers Gollum’s Seafood Tacos, Radagast’s Mushroom Burger & Mirkwood Black Bean Burger.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

New Kids Series ‘Spirit Rangers’ Celebrates Indigenous People and Cultures “I love my culture, I’ve just never really seen it represented on-screen,” showrunner and creator Karissa Valencia says.

Did you know that show just got nominated for a Peabody?! 😍

Then go watch "Spirit Rangers" on Netflix NOW! 😊

Elementary is my latest TV escape from reality. For example, in one episode, a Musk-type figure faced consequences for his actions, and Russians worked to stop warring with Ukraine. 10 years ago, what a crazy time!
