It's sounding like my good friend Mike's gut reaction was right, that the Charlie Kirk shooter acted because he felt that Kirk *wasn't racist enough*.

Inconsistent messaging that changes very quickly.

Why? Is it because the identity of the shooter is different than preconceived notions held by MAGA?

“Amid the initial chaos and confusion on campus, the midshipman mistook a law enforcement officer for the shooter and struck him in the head with a parade rifle. The law enforcement officer then fired at the midshipman, wounding him in the arm”

Charlie Kirk was killed by a meme:

"The bullet that struck and killed Kirk had “Notices bulge OwO whats this?” written on its casing. A reference to a longtime internet joke that originally comes from text-based furry roleplay. It is not proof, however, that Robinson was a furry. The meme has long since become part of the extremely online canon." https://www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-kirk-was-killed-by-a-meme

@badtux @oclsc I know how trains work. And I’ve been a regular rider on the NEC since the days of the original Metroliner and the GG1. My complaint wasn’t that there are rear-facing seats. They are clear about that. My complaint was that I booked a forward-facing seat that was actually rear-facing, because the seatmap was incorrect.

It’s not the end of the world, but it’s not what I booked.

"exnomination" is a really useful word and I'm surprised it isn't used more often in the context of theory and politics. exnomination is the process by which a group works to depoliticize their worldview and values, so that those views and values come to be considered "natural," "apolitical," and "common sense" (the term is from Barthes' _Mythologies_ but I first encountered it in Robin Lakoff's _The Language War_)

The train has a European-style two-tone horn that you can just barely hear in the car. I keep thinking we’re about to pull into Gare du Nord.

due to the crackdown of any leftist discourse surrounding charlie kirk's assassination, bringing into context his own statements, viewpoints, and what they had to do with his demise, huge social media accounts are being banned on twitter, instagram, and bluesky.

for a friend of mine who's running “punkwithacamera” on Instagram, this also meant having the identity and address of doxxed, to the degree where even a member of the house of representatives of the united states of america spoke aggressively about wanting to shut down everything my friend built over the years, even take away their business license

so, i am asking you my little fediverse friends, feel free to buy something from their shop, as they expect to never be able to sell anything in the US: :boost_requested:

I honestly cannot stomach the response to Charlie Kirk's death by #Bluesky liberal influencers.

It's one thing to wag your finger at those who celebrate. It's another to honor a fascist in death in some feckless attempt at public empathy.

Poster's disease on full display. They're dopamine addicts who read the news.

Charlie Kirk lived a live that deserves to be promptly forgotten, not honored. And we're better off without these influencers, too.

Hello I am very angry to be here 😊 after getting my good true jokes published by The Federalist, I, like many of our trans leftist peers, have now been literally suspended from bsky for literally saying "rest in piss Charlie Kirk." To be fair I also said a bunch of very funny true things that I will happily read on the stand at the Hague 2 with my lips DIRECTLY on the MIC

The previous Acela configuration was preferable to this in almost every respect. The seat layout is a bit better in the new version, and it’s shiny and new, but it feels more like being on the LIRR than a high-speed premium intercity express train.

for years now every time there is gun violence by an unknown assailant in the US an arm of the right wing immediately swings into action fabricating rumors that the perpetrator was a trans person. zero substantiation to the claims, they just make it up, blast it out and hope some of it sticks. this should not be treated as anything but a direct deliberate attempt to create random retaliatory violence against trans people, and any outlets printing said rumors are participating in said violence.

@badtux no. Ithe train is pointing the opposite direction from what the seat map says. Half the seats face one way, the other half the other way. But it’s backwards from what I booked.

I hold the opinion that killing Nazis is a net positive social good, and I don't think that's a particularly hot take, actually.
