One reason I think so many people are being fired merely for quoting what Kirk actually said is that, based on what I've read, many of his followers were in social media silos where they never heard those things. Showing full picture risks Trump admin being able to capitalize on this politically

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.”

Just imagine how much they’re paying Palantir to churn through terabytes of footage and data. So far it’s helped them apprehend a guy with a BB gun!

Don’t worry they don’t want their kids in any public schools anymore; they’re home schooling them so they can approach controversial topics like gender roles and intersectionality at their own pace with the innate wisdom that one gains from going to church on sundays and being a parent

I couldn’t make it through the whole thing. Somehow we need to quit being confounded at how stupid these fucks are and focus on beating them or they will rule our lives

Whatever Trump did to kids—and to be clear, the allegation, which you can watch on video from at least one accuser, is Child Rape—it’s serious enough that he’s now considering arresting and seeking the execution of a former POTUS to distract from it.

So what do you think it was?

Burchett fought harder to release UFO info than this. The only work these evil idiots do is to enrich themselves and their zealous mob

@cosmereconvo.bsky.social loving the WaT episodes greatly; and enjoyed the music episode a lot too!

As a musician I loved some parts and wanted even more from others. I think the topic of “harmony” invites a lengthier conversation about chords (stacks of notes) and chord quality.
