  1. Past hour
  2. The guy who shot at turnip wasn’t a leftist. Kirk’s murderer might have been, I don’t know. But, in this batshit country, it is possible the murderer targeted Kirk from the lunatic right. Here’s one such Payday making the case that Kirk had stabbed turnip in the back.
  3. Please don't insult me by insinuating I'm a Roman Catholic! Sort of kidding, but I did not go to a Jesuit HS.
  4. I don't know how 73 is horrible, when it was a lot lower than that, as well as others, against OSU.
  5. There were concepts of a plan to give him the award but Trump never got around to it.
  6. My God the risk every one of those people took. Go into a hot, emotional, irrational crowd of strangers and just hang out. SO easy for a second hit. Just go home. Go home and be sad. Go home and be mad. All you gotta do to make it a a little less bad is NOT BE THERE.
  7. On a more general note, I was contemplating that there's no Charlie Kirk (or Tucker Carlson or any of a dozen others) on the left. And the corollary thought that they need someone to "tell them how to think." I think the first proposition is accurate and that leads to the second and prompts the question why is it this way? And maybe in a blinding glimpse of the obvious, deep down people know that most of the hateful "conservative" positions these days are just that, hateful and inhuman. Despite our natural tendency to avoid or even demonize "other," I think most people also have enough of a moral compass to know when ideas are at best suspect if not outright immoral. So, "the right" needs someone(s) to "make it ok" to harbor inhumane if not immoral thoughts. To justify racism. To justify inhumanity to queer people and minorities. This is what "say the quiet part out loud." The quiet part is quiet because people know that it is fundamentally wrong, deep down inside. So they need someone to justify it for them. To make it OK. It's like little kids and young people doing racist things like the "SAE song." It's fun because it's naughty. It's naughty because it's wrong and they know it. And they can be naughty with mostly minimal consequences.
  8. I have deep expertise from watching Barry and that Jackyl reboot with Newt Scamander, and I think that the trick is that you shoot somebody and run away without fucking up at all
  9. Looks like he's had a stroke.
  10. Pablo had the bank statements and had a new witness from the fiance department. Cake Icing: Wong's daughter worked for Aspiration.
  11. Thank you, Webster. Nevertheless, speech is not violence.
  12. Yep, this was my understanding from the reporting/articles yesterday.
  13. I think Orem, UT. Population 100,000. But the Provo-Orem area has about 750,000 people.
  14. Well we don't know why he was shot, but I think even if it turned out he was killed for something else entirely I still think the term "assassination" fits. Semantic discussions are kind of absurd though.
  15. I wish it would get more public traction. It’s instructive to read through the whole case against Benny Johnson and others who got “duped” into taking Russian intelligence funding. It’s really jarring to see how mercenary and fake all this is. These new-wave influencers log off and talk metrics and reach and impressions. I don’t mean to say that they don’t have genuine political leanings but what they say isn’t real to them. It’s a numbers job, they are going to do a deep dive into the data, see what hits, which segment got the most rewatches, what went viral. And then say more of that. But out there in the land of medical bills and failed marriages and dingy strip malls and hunts for college scholarships and layoffs, people fire up their reels and X and to them it’s real. It creates monsters and I wish more of them realized they were watching people doing kayfabe.
  16. Well this is lovely. Meta suppressed research on child safety. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2025/09/08/meta-research-child-safety-virtual-reality/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y8x3md05no Their researchers knew about this stuff and it was squashed ... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hawley-pushes-legal-action-meta-whistleblowers-detail-child-abuse-vr Senators are starting to call for investigations
  17. The dead horse is now unrecognizable from beating.
  18. I live in the area also and I think the police news conference thats on Facebook answers a lot of the questions and think it was a surprisingly good listen. But the lady sounds like the shooters accomplice to a stolen car and she was shot on accident when the guy opened fire on the officer.
  19. I’ve said it before but everyone in the alien universe acts in the most foolish and dumb no matter the education level, work background etc. The Kirsh “the scientific method is a method not a suggestion box” had my wife and I laughing and commenting “no one in this universe has ever exhibited a working knowledge of it!” And I added “well Newt maybe” Good episode but sheesh so many characters drive me crazy! [emoji1787]
  20. I guess. But it just might mean law enforcement is incompetent or was caught unprepared. Going up on a roof with a gun and shooting somebody and running away doesn't take some careful plan. We'll see.
  21. If Charlie Kirk was doing such good things while he was alive why does he have to be unalive to get this medal?
  22. WTF are you talking about? A famous person was shot, in public, for what he believed/said. What exactly do you think an assassination is?
  23. https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-athletics/2025/09/157915/ted-carter-thinks-unequal-revenue-sharing-in-big-ten-is-a-conversation-that-will-be-had-over-time The gravy train for the back 2/3rds of the Big 10 is on it's death bed. Come on guys, it's not so bad.
