A while back I put out these rules for the internet. 1. When we disagree, we fight. 2. We have a beer afterward. 3. When we agree, we unite. I got a lot of flack, surprisingly, for the line about the beer. People would ask, "Oh yeah, would you have a beer with Charlie Kirk?!" Well, I did. And I'm glad I did, because now I won't get to. Yes, Charlie and I disagreed a lot and about really important things. But somehow we didn't lose our humanity. We were still fellow Americans. We can all choose to hate each other now. That's a normal, human reaction. We can choose to blame each other, and I'm sure we will, endlessly. Or we can defy the voices of division in the country, and have a beer together. This time, in grief. If you really want to strike back at whoever did this, listen to each other instead of hating one another. They want us to hate each other. Treating one another as brothers and sisters, as a united America, would be a historic act of defiance. Since I'm on the left, I'll go first. For everyone on the right, and most especially the Kirk family, I am so sorry for your loss. I share your grief and I want you to know our hearts are with you!

It feels like we’re entering a dark time. Woke leftists couldn't win through open debate because their ideas are bad, so they resorted to weaponizing their speech through cancel culture. But now that cancel culture is losing its power, they're left with no words—only violence.

i'm on the side of whoever doesn't shoot people with opposing views

Great example of progressive loosening of THA with subsidence, periprosthetic lucency, migration; fracture of the greater trochanter, stress fx of femoral shaft. Don’t ask. Not sure why we needed all this imaging (there was much more)
