Today, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. Let me be blunt: I will not pretend to feel sorry for Charlie Kirk. For years, he has profited off division, peddled conspiracy theories, and targeted marginalized groups with rhetoric so toxic it has made this country less safe. He has called for public executions, mocked trans people as “abominations,” treated politics like a holy war — and in 2023, he even said that gun deaths were an “unfortunate” but acceptable price to keep the Second Amendment. Today, he became part of the very toll he once dismissed. That doesn’t make him a martyr — it makes him a cautionary tale about what happens when leaders treat human lives as expendable. That doesn’t mean I condone what happened. Political violence is wrong — always. It poisons our democracy, no matter who the target is. If we go down that path, America as we know it collapses. But here’s the truth: when you spend years throwing gasoline on the fire, you don’t get to act shocked when flames break out. Charlie Kirk built a career out of incitement. He’s not a victim of political violence so much as he is one of its architects. This is a reminder that words have consequences. Leaders — real leaders — should be lowering the temperature, not raising it. They should be uniting people around solutions, not cashing in on fear and hate. I ran for Congress because I’m sick of this cycle — sick of watching extremists on the right and performative purists on the left treat America like their personal stage show while working-class families get crushed. Enough. Violence is not the answer. But neither is pretending that Charlie Kirk is some innocent casualty. He chose this path. He pushed this rhetoric. And now we’re all living in the world it created. — William Kory Amyx Democratic Candidate for U.S. Congress Indiana’s 6th Congressional District 📍 For Hoosiers. For Accountability.

@VINYLCORDALERTS hard disagree. original makes so much more sense. people need to get literate and quick

I think we can ALL agree. #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl

I'm often the target of people who loudly want everyone to know they're against fashion. I secretly think they do so because they want everyone to pat them on the back for being morally superior and more intelligent than us "sheep." Fashion is not limited to runways and red carpets. It surrounds us. Fashion includes how subcultural groups such as punks, skaters, and hip-hop fans dress. It's about cultural expression. People self-fashion even in non-capitalist societies. They even self-fashion in prison! Prisoners customize their dress as a way to regain some sense of humanity and individuality. It's central to human expression. The Met Gala theme this year is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," which is based on Monica Miller's brilliant book "Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity." It tracks three centuries of Black dandyism, from when dandyism was imposed on Black men to when these clothes were a way for Black men to create new political and social possibilities. It's a great look at how clothing can be central to identity and self-empowerment. I've always believed that fashion is uniquely disrespected because it has historically been considered a "feminine" subject. Areas of culture or the arts that have been historically coded as "masculine" are not routinely treated with such disrespect and disregard. It has been a struggle even to get academic institutions to recognize the importance of fashion as a field of study. Since fashion is coded as "feminine," it's thus also seen as "frivolous" and not "high minded." IMO, you can take any area of study and link it to fashion: globalization, economics, politics, sociology, history, etc. If a story involves humans, it will likely include fashion because humans wear clothes. Every time I see someone loudly and performatively declare how much they hate fashion, I notice that they, too, are very particular about their dress. These people, often men, will have specific preferences about clothes. If given a choice between a free pair of pink jeans and $50 blue jeans, they will choose one based on what they think the colors represent. Counter-cultural types will also dress in precise ways to signal their cultural identity. They are not, in fact, indifferent to clothes. I try very hard to communicate that you should never judge a person's more profound, more important qualities based on their clothes. I've also spent the last 15 years writing about how to build a wardrobe on a budget (including doing three eBay roundups per week). I cover a breadth of styles, including workwear and Americana. The things many people project onto me are more about their narrow-mindedness regarding the importance of dress in society. Fine to hate me, but at least please accurately represent my arguments. I'm not telling you to buy Gucci and Louis Vuitton. I'm simply saying that dress is important to culture and a form of cultural language.

@buturlosingit Over a Lorde song?! Tearing up

this is what made last night so special and what has made this past year of pop music so incredible. none of these women are over night success story, they’ve all been grafting for years without recognition. they all deserve this moment sm 💗💗

@noampomsky Hi! Will you do this again for nyc? I’m so bummed I missed it!!

Hello!! Reminder that I'm doing another round of my matchmaking experiment where I get 1000 people to answer 70 questions and pair them based on similar values. People have met partners they're still dating through the last two rounds!! (In fact, someone got into their first ever relationship bc of it.)

@icebox3651 @my_mourningspam

@my_mourningspam why don't the men dat each other if they want to impress each other so much🤔🤔 it's simple and they won't be lonely anymore

the “male loneliness epidemic” thrives partly because straight men are more concerned with impressing other men than with being perceived as a good partner by the women they’re (supposedly) attracted to

@my_mourningspam @KaufmanAudrey

@molochofficial I’ve been telling people this!!!! Every visitor I’m like GO TO BRYANT PARK NYPL FOR STUFFED ANIMALS TRUST. It needs more hype!

It’s wild that the New York Public Library has THE original Winnie the Pooh toys and they don’t even receive much fanfare

@VincentZahler @cockspit @JaidenLillith You are helping prove her point…

@cockspit @JaidenLillith If men could become millionaires by posting nudes and having sex, they would all day. Any other position you're going on about takes years to even decades of hard work to achieve. Anyone can take a nude selfie

@myeauxyoozi @oocsitcoms I’ve heard this thought before but not, don’t think that’s their perspective. There’s many implied mentions in GG of The Sopranos as a TV show. E.g.: 6/22: partings (season finale) "As a psychologist, tell me, what do you think of The Sopranos?" "Oh, I miss Adriana" "Me too!"

@itsprivitelli @oocsitcoms In Gilmore Girls the Soprano family are just a real crime family, it would be like referencing John Gotti or Al Capone.

what’s a plot hole from a tv show/sitcom that still keeps you awake at night?

@kikussy This has been my dream for as long as I can remember 🥲 and it’s so insane to see someone who’s actually done it. I’ve eyed the vitra mini wassily chair going on 5 yrs and can’t get her outta my head!! The way that this collection is worth tens of thousands of dollars…Goddamn.

My friends mom collects miniatures of designer chairs and these are some of them 😫

@kairarhy @fulltimefig Seconding this^^

@fulltimefig Omg this is so beautiful do you mind sharing what tour this was

Never kill yourself.

@adoptedhighway this is the one goal I DO accomplish each day 🫡🫡

you should set hundreds of random unrealistic goals every day and you should be very hard on yourself when you don’t accomplish them

Phoebe Bridgers thinks she’s jessa but unfortunately she is marnie.

@aakashgupta Also there was a barbie themed challenge in the bachelorette and one of the Kens (chin Liu I think) made an off screen appearance

50. An AI selfie generator: barbieslife.ai

Barbie’s opening weekend was $337M. That’s nearly 2x Oppenheimer’s $174M. Warner Brother's insane ”Operation Barbie Summer” is a big part of that success. These are 50 of the team's most amazing marketing stunts: 1. 3D ad in front of Burj Khalifa

@LindseyBoylan It’s called the glass cliff :))

What’s the word for when a corporation brings in a woman after every man has failed and it’s virtually impossible for her to succeed because so much structural and fundamental failure has happened before she even walked in the door?
