  • I saw this comment and strongly agreed

    Charlie Kirk built his brand on division, outrage, and fear, especially around guns, race, gender, and “culture war” politics. He’s spent years telling his audience that mass shootings are just the “cost of liberty,” that gun deaths are “worth it,” and that armed citizens are the solution, not the problem.

    But today, that rhetoric came full circle.

    No one deserves violence, not children in schools, not worshipers in churches, not innocent people in public spaces, and not even those who have spent years justifying it.

    But we can’t ignore the boomerang effect of spreading hate, radicalizing followers, and shrugging off preventable deaths as a political tradeoff. When you pour gasoline on the fire of American extremism, it eventually burns everything, including those who lit the match.

    Kirk once said gun violence is “part of liberty.” Today, he’s living the consequences of the world he helped shape.

    Words matter. Hate has consequences. And the truth is, you can only normalize violence for so long before it finds its way back to you.

  • In the show Severance, you have a innie and a outtie. That’s me.

    My innie is here to do the work and make money. Sometimes my innie hangs out with coworkers. Or acknowledge their major life event. But innie does marketing work and adds more garbage to the garbage pile.

    My outtie has a family. He loves his family. He takes them to plays and dinners and outdoor events. He paints and watches lame TV. He tells his wife how beautiful she is, his kids how proud they make him.

    Their two lives are separate. Innie is focused, driven, direct, and some what of an asshole to get the job done. Outtie is loving, spends time with his family, and paints.

    Am I thick skinned? No. Innie is just willing to suck corporate dick and do a song and dance so outtie can enjoy life.
