So what you do is, you just scroll. With your thumb. Yeah, like that. And then your brain lives 8 very stressful lifetimes in the span of 30 minutes. I do it like 10 times a day. I’ve lost the ability to make eye contact with my loved ones.

So in summary: it appears that this was a shooting where the victim, an influencer, was answering a question from another influencer when he was shot by a third influencer, after which a fourth influencer documented the ensuing chaos and a host of other influencers registered their takes, before the director of the FBI (an influencer) and the deputy director of the FBI (another influencer) announced the alleged shooter’s apprehension with a quote from Mad Max.

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

All of Oxford falls silent except for a single partly cracked and rusted bell hanging crooked from the stern of the Bang Barge that gives a dull ring whenever the barge is knocked by a wave…the young and hollow men slump listlessly towards it, summoned aboard for a desolate fuck

The sheer eeriness…it should be a bang barge, and it should slither down the canals of England, arriving with a fog as obscure as stone and bone-chilling cold. A single hooded gondolier pushing it along with a stick should summon young men within with a curling, skeletal finger in deathly silence.

The 90s was from November 1989 (Fall of Berlin Wall) to September 11th 2001. The 00s was from then until 2008 (financial crisis). The 10s was from 2008 until 2016 (Brexit/Trump). The 20s ran until March 2020 (Covid). The 30s ended sometime around 2022.

Read that as «not shitting» so I guess now you have two problems but either way, hope you feel better.
