There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life

Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Hold up, don't FTP and Preferred players only get mounting at level 20? Wtf is this garbage from a level 80?

Though I do think having the option for a "Quick Flashpoint" should be an option, it should not be the default. I used to love running FPs where I would hope to get either DS or LS options, but I also liked cutscene skips in Hammer Station as I felt numb to that FP with the amount of runs I did 2/2

Oh, oh no. That is actually frightening. I rarely needed to rush and when I did it was because of daily reset (I have vampire hours), but I would never force lowbies to rush. There is no reason for bullying, and that sounds like a terrible experience. 1/2

So, um, just did my first Esseles/Black Talon run post 7.7.1 and jeez did that not feel like the same Flashpoint. For both better and worse. What are y'all's feelings on the skip cutscenes? #swtor #oldrepublic

Look, IDK what to tell liberals who are all ginned up for a gigantic piece of shit when the elections (if they happen) are 3 years away. Find someone better.

An old quote tweet of Gavin Newsom.

Originally, he says "the ocean is literally on fire. But yea, sure -- we can't afford climate action". The QT from an unnamed twitter user is the headline of a Newsweek article by Aaron Cantu from Feb 1, 2021: "California Governor Gavin Newsom, Despite Pledge, Signed 1,709 Oil and Gas Production Permits"

So, I haven't really been active in updating my progress into the hobby recently, but rather recently I started a Dark Angels army alongside my Tyranids. I recently finished my Impulsor and will try to get shots of the rest of my Dark Angels as well as more Tyranids I have done. #warhammercommunity

Fascists always try to erase any signs of progress from history.

They’ve already wiped out the names of Black historical figures and servicemen from government sites and other records. This is just another sample of how much farther they will go.

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK.

America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.
