The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
Mrs. Betty Bowers (@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social) reposted
Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

if someone quotes Leviticus saying gay people should be stoned to death, and calls that "God's perfect law," it's accurate to say they called for gay people to be stoned to death. Likewise, it's inaccurate to say they never called for it. bc I can parse language and understand how humans communicate

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

The Wall Street Journal. The Guardian. All the other outlets who failed to confirm their reporting. I want to see fewer cowardly, shrugging "editor's notes" on these stories and more statements of "wow, we really failed in our reporting on a grave matter, and here's how we're going to do better."

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Y'all want to pretend like Charlie Kirk wasn't Charlie Kirk, that's fine. Delete posts, ban people, wave the flag at half-mast, call for unity, all of that. Show him more veneration you ever did for other victims, and do it loudly and blatantly, sure. By all means, break any last trust you had.

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

I am not happy we are here, and I am not celebrating what happened, but I refuse to pretend to be surprised, or to pretend Charlie wasn’t a direct contributor to the division and anger in this country that led to his own death 🤷 The flames need to stop being fanned. he fanned them for a living.
Andrea Junker (@strandjunker.com) reposted
Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

I never finished Demons back on Ps3 because I got so lost in the poison level, and I've never gotten around to the remaster.
Unkle Funkle (@yazobazo.bsky.social) reply parent
Okay, so I'm seeing some confusion in response to this post. I am not criticizing DS2. It's good. I like DS2. I'm saying I think that 2 feels like a wildly different experience to 1, 3, BB, etc... for many reasons, and that Silksong just feels like Hollow Knight, but more (and better).
Unkle Funkle (@yazobazo.bsky.social) reply parent
Sure, but it doesn't feel like 1's movement but better. It feels different. That's not a criticism. DS2 deliberately changed how i-frames work, and where you look and where you attack are two different things. This is so different some people (my big Souls buddy) never got used to the change.

I'm also gripped by the story and setting in a way HK never did. Hornet having a voice and presence in the game, beyond amnesiac that people talk at, has made interactions with the NPCs so much more enjoyable. I don't have to guess at what she's feeling.
Unkle Funkle (@yazobazo.bsky.social) reply parent
Every time I've died (so far), it's felt like it's my fault. And I know it's not just a bias towards Hornet's moveset, because I already have the Wanderer's Crest, and it feels much more responsive than the combat in HK. I love it. It's a wonderful game.
Unkle Funkle (@yazobazo.bsky.social)
So far, Silksong is the game I wished Hollow Knight was. It's all the vibes, beauty, and originality, but with a movement and combat flow that doesn't make me want to punch a wall. It's buttery smooth in all the right ways, and I've yet to feel like I'm dying because the game is fighting me.
Unkle Funkle (@yazobazo.bsky.social) reply parent
Fair. Though they don't tell you that's what it does at all 😂
Unkle Funkle (@yazobazo.bsky.social) reply parent
Completely unfair comparison. The movement and combat in DS2 feels (purposefully) like AIDS on toast. The movement in Silksong feels smooth and silky. Also, there's a crest in the early hours of Silksong that gives you Hollow Knight 1's combat style.
