Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Someone is already selling Charlie Kirk memorial shirts lmao. The hustle never stops
Yesterday, just a day after the shooting, Tom MacDonald put out a music video on the shooting. It's pretty boring though, not worth watching. It's hard to even find things to say about it, though Tom, in classic Tom fashion, committed very hard to villifying woke people and that was competing for being the main message:
Using the term "wokery" and trying to rhyme it is the closest thing he's had to a lyrical impulse in like 5 albums, so there's that.
Also I found it kind of funny he says "I'll preach what you taught me" like this isn't basically the first time he ever mentioned Kirk besides the short he did reacting to the death when it happened. But I do need to emphasize that this is literally everything I can find in the song that's even mildly worth noting to me, and I probably take more personal interest in looking at this particular brand of trash than anyone else here, so it's not worth seeing the rest.
Anyway, I mention this because, just like with the Trump shooting, he put out a song in like 24 hours to chase the headline and promote himself with pure hog rage. It's amazing how these scumbags immediately start finding ways to trying to advance their career when the dude's body isn't even cold, let alone buried. It's so brazenly cynical.
One guy didn't even wait for the body to stop twitching https://nitter.net/Fragyrz/status/1966102132731543555
