If the Oklahoma City bombing happened today you’d have some insisting it never happened, others saying the perpetrators were radical leftists, and some complaining that Teslas have been set on fire somewhere. Looking at extremists with clear eyes is difficult. open.substack.com/pub/thedayof...

It’s weird that some people continue to insist Tyler Robinson did not have a political motive for (allegedly) shooting Charlie Kirk. Robinson clearly took umbrage at Kirk’s views. He clearly appears to have had a personal motivation but he took it out on a political figure. That’s political.

The extremely online right has turned on Candace Owens over the Charlie Kirk case. This is a good thing! Do you think they’ll acknowledge how they created her? Do you think they’ll call for action, criticize social media algorithms that push her content? Do you think they’ll do … anything?
Citizen Vigilante is a low-budget action thriller starring actor Armie Hammer as a vigilante who hunts down migrant criminals in Europe. The movie faced a muted reception - until #ElonMusk posted it to his hundreds of millions of followers on X.com.
