I remember that, they had a computer animation? but ten years after that documentary another forensic animation firm found that the trajectory the bullet would have had to follow was not possible (link below). One is wrong, and again I don't care, I have just always thought that was a weak point

love this post from the other place--that last line, "Not feeling isn't victory, it's defeat."
![Jon Lovett twitter post, responding to a screen cap only partially readable that says "[cut off]Il not be fucking bullied into mourning a demogogic fascist whose [cut off]eful rhetoric enacted into MAGA regime policy has threatened the lives of thousands. An insignificant little man who belittled and endangered [cut off] his fellow Americans."
Been loathe to just pluck random comments as representative. Democrats have denounced the killing, expressed shock, as have most on the left.
That there is a consensus that runs from hasan and jacobin to schumer and jeffreys speaks to what the actual broad view is of the "left." And that hasn't stopped some elected Republicans from blaming half the country for the killing.
But this kind of comment (not this one specifically) is more than just an isolated or rare response - it does represent a strain of thinking on the left, what jacobin calls "a competitive lack of empathy" that is real and not worth pretending otherwise. No one is bullying anyone into mourning. Not trying to make you "feel" anything, or shame anyone. It's not about decorum or respect or performative grieving. And it's not about defending Charlie Kirk's worldview even a little bit.
But I do want to persuade anyone who hated Charlie Kirk's politics to care that he is dead, to be stricken by it, if not because it's a moral horror, than because of where it may lead. That is especially important when leaders on the right are using this killing as a pretext for a crackdown.
But also, we live in a depraved era. It's difficult not to let it harden us, whatever the justification. Fighting that impulse is worthwhile not for the sake of "civility" or "norms" but out of love for ourselves. Not feeling isn't victory, it's defeat.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hljwxe2q2ds4oagkei47ygba/bafkreigtbbij2jh6qommxsiwqgw6mgt3vwjajpzcyd2gqvxqvggrj3yk4u@jpeg)

probably not a cleanse of any kind but here are two pretty picture I took in yellowstone last week. they look like they have some kind of 1940s-ish filter on them but no, the park just looks like that.

we got a kitten, only 6 weeks old. Seizures worse for the first “WHO IS THIS” week, then vanished forever. AND the male cat, now 11, started playing with kitten like a young un. this was a long way round saying a medicinal kitten worked for us on all fronts. plus she’s gorgeous:
