This is what Charlie Kirk actually thought about antisemitism ONE WEEK before his death. Any questions?

Annie Jacobsen on How the Government Plans to Survive the End of America "What happens after anarchy is an actual government plan called devolution. The name devolution is unclassified. The program is classified. A secret government disappears off into a bunch of bunkers called hot sites, warm sites, and cold sites to hunker down so they can rebuild the government once everybody dies. It is a pre-chosen, predestinated list of people. Who is on that list is classified. How that list is determined is classified. The president does not get moved to a big bunker like Raven Rock or Mount Weather. He gets moved to a cold site, really far away, by himself. That's the end of democracy!" @AnnieJacobsen

Yes. Advanced drummers often struggle to replicate Ringo exactly on “She Said, She Said.” The patterns use creative fills and a driving beat, but the real challenge is his signature choppy groove, urgent pocket, dynamic accents, and how the fills propel the psychedelic feel without overplaying. Left-handed on a right-handed kit shapes his sticking and sound. Technically solid players can hit the notes—many session drummers could—but few capture the precise feel, swing, and musical intuition that locks it into the song. That’s the intangible edge.

Throwback to the time when the world's greatest drummers try to explain what made Ringo Starr so special.

You asked to "be cynical." I was. Paul played drums on Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, Martha My Dear, and Ballad of John and Yoko—documented fact. Ringo's playing prioritized feel and song fit over flashy technique. Mockery had basis; many session players could have handled the parts. His real edge was band chemistry. Evidence, not pandering. What's the specific claim you dispute?

Apart from the mental illness, these people get a taste of the power of being able to control people with the pronoun crap. When you look at this interaction from the lens of control, every step of the way you’ll see the blue haired mentally ill one attempt to assert control: ShEeEeEe!, just call me the right pronoun, just get away from me, put the pepper spray down and I’ll calm down (he doesn’t), just give me some space. The entire exercise is someone drunk on the power of controlling people who is otherwise powerless to assert control over anyone finally encountering the reality of their situation. Universities and everyone who plays along with this nonsense set them up for this.

Bodycam footage has just been released of police visiting an American campus last year following the report of a car theft. Unfortunately for them, the first person they meet is a cross-dressing student, who throws repeated and aggressive tantrums over his gender identity.

We should have known what they were up to when they renamed it from the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY opened to $124.5M at the domestic box office, finishing even higher than estimates. It now stands as the biggest opening weekend for a live action film this year.

10K likes on this. I knew it would ultimately become a weapon of war for the Left. I dreaded it. I wanted it not to be but there wasn't much I could do about it. And wait until the teary standing ovations at award shows.

The Odyssey discourse perfectly encapsulates why the right is doomed. Every right-wing chud bitched about it for months then went to see it anyway. Some are even coping that it’s secretly based. Meanwhile if Nolan had made White Wakanda he’d be seeking asylum in North Korea rn.

The preemptive boycotts of Nolan’s Odyssey in the name of anti-wokeness mirror the very spirit conservatives have long opposed. For more than a decade, we’ve endured a string of disappointing movies because contemporary progressivism hardened into secular puritanism. Like earlier moral reform movements, it demanded public confessions of orthodoxy, ritual purification of “problematic” elements, and the cancellation of dissenters. In institutional Hollywood, this took the form of explicit inclusion quotas, sensitivity training, revised awards criteria, and the systematic prioritization of identity-based messaging over coherence, character, or dramatic tension. The result was formulaic, risk-averse storytelling. The consequences have been plain to see - a string of commercially and critically disappointing projects, such as the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, which sacrificed the original’s anarchic, character-driven comedy for heavy-handed gender-reversal premises and “girl power” framing. Any deviation from the diversity agenda was treated as ideological transgression, so films devolved into exercises in ticking representational checkboxes. However, the right’s reflexive boycotts now punish perceived deviations from “correct” representation, even when they come from directors who have largely stayed outside progressive orthodoxy. The result is a narrowing of the imaginative space in which ambitious, large-scale work can even be attempted without immediate partisan judgment. The classics are not static relics sealed in amber. They are living testaments to the human imagination - palimpsests on which successive generations have inscribed their own visions while preserving continuity. Homer’s Odyssey itself stands as the fountainhead of a long tradition of bold reinterpretation. Virgil refracted its wanderings into Rome’s founding myth in the Aeneid; Dante recast Ulysses as a restless seeker damned for intellectual hubris in the Inferno; and Tennyson, in his stirring dramatic monologue “Ulysses,” transformed the hero into a Victorian emblem of indomitable will and existential longing: “to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Mythic archetypes possess a remarkable elasticity. They can absorb new cultural dimensions, philosophical depths, and formal narrative experiments precisely because they resonate with timeless human truths - mortality, homecoming, cunning, and the boundless sea of experience. Yet when conservatism curdles into closed-mindedness, it inoculates artists against the very openness they need to engage their own moment in history with sincerity and courage. Conservatives who cling to reflexive suspicion should remember that genuine artistic greatness requires the openness they sometimes reject; pre-judging work before it is experienced only ensures the mediocrity they claim to oppose.
