If this guy loses I think we're done with everything and I don't mean that in a hyperbolic sense at all. Like if this guy can't get elected, our hearts are too fucking dark to be happy and hope for a brighter future because it'll mean we chose Cuomo

Cover of the book Children of Time featuring a glowing green planet dwarfing a small space ship in the foreground.

Currently reading Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It’s a fun sci-fi novel set in the far future.

[the shooter is unidentified] the left must be purged with the sword

[the shooter is, again, a compulsive masturbator who loved Hitler] I believe it was pascal who said that the heart has reasons that reason may not know

Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article detailed how an internal law enforcement bulletin said that ammunition recovered following the Charlie Kirk shooting was engraved with expressions of "transgender and anti-fascist ideology." Justice Department officials later urged caution about the bulletin by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, saying it may not accurately reflect the messages on the ammunition, and the article was updated Thursday to reflect that.

This editor's note was appended on Friday, Sept. 12, after Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said the engravings included one that said "Hey fascist!" along with other messages and symbols. He gave no indication that the ammunition included any transgender references.

hi, cis folks!

the WSJ endangered trans lives with false reporting yesterday. it’s still accepted as truth by many, regardless of it being false. the article’s still up with a little note. it needs full retraction.

it's not even a phone callβ€”it's email. you can do this.

Coincidentally, I AM writing that book -- "#Techsick Masculinity." The story really begins 20 years earlier, when a 10-year-old from Pittsburgh first logged into a Nazi BBS in West Virginia. The through-line to Charlie Kirk's death (and other Internet-adjacent tragedies) is pretty straight.

The man arrested for Charlie Kirk’s murder is a White 22 year old named Tyler Robinson. This is how prominent MAGA pundit Dinesh D’Souza is reacting - blaming professors.

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

as soon as there's evidence the shooter's identity isn't easy to weaponize things magically become complicated

Ezra-

Your piece on the death of Charlie Kirk was reckless, insulting, condescending, and worst of all, a piece of hagiography. For someone who claims to honor history and context in your work, it reads as if it was written by someone who respects neither of those things.Β 

What does it mean to practice politics in the "right way"? For whom does a "taste for disagreement" benefit? Certainly not the vulnerable populationsβ€”trans people, Black women, and moreβ€”who Kirk routinely targeted with hate speech and calls for violence.Β 

When I was a college intern at NBC News Washington in 2008, I would watch your MSNBC appearances on the monitor in our office. At that point I could only dream of having a platform like yours, which has grown exponentially since then. Now that I have a platform (albeit it much, much smaller than yours) and I couldn't fathom using it to gaslight the country into believing a hateful man stood for a public good. Maybe it's time to consider how you're using yours.Β

Isn't it ironic how Charlie Kirk's last words were about gang related gun violence, and he ended up literally dying as a result of what is essentially fascist gang violence?
