I'm forever seeing a shit take on social media, and saying 'what the fuck is this garbage?' and the answer is always Nick Cave

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from β€œcivil war” and β€œblood in the streets” to β€œwow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

β€œHe has been killed for saying things that used to be simple common sense. He has been killed because he had the courage to stand up publicly for reasonable opinions held by millions and millions of ordinary people both in the US and Britain.”

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.

Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."

All the Music Played on MTV’s 120 Minutes: A 2,500-Video Youtube Playlist The mid-nineteen-nineties was not a time without irony. You may recall that, back then, 'alternative' rock had not only gone mainstream, but, in certain regions, had even become the most popular genre...

Why are Labour so terrible? Once they piss their 5 years away and give the country to Reform, what will they have personally gained? I don't really understand why they're so thick

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying Β£7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a β€˜moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches?
Greta Thunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here. The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation.
Reporter: Are you worried about the others?
Greta: Yes…I’m calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis.
Reporter: β€œWhy do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?”
Greta Thunberg: β€œBecause of racism.”

This is how.

Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Can't wait until all those militia armed to protect the constitution from a rogue government leap into action to save everyone, it's gonna make an incredible third act

It’s not healthy spiritually for me to spend all day wishing for people to die. But if they’d just hurry up and die I’d be free.
