AesopFan on September 13, 2025 at 2:08 am:
Yes, the problem with and expansion and use of profanity laced language and diatribes is that when you really want a solid and bracing expletive to emphasize your point, there is nothing left. You end up with the old time equivalent of something like “oh, fudge” or “p-shaw!”.

Separate language issue: Not everyone is a clear and smooth talker, especially extemporaneously. But is it just me or are we finding more and more (usually but not always younger) folks speaking like Valley Girls, where every third word is “like” or “you know” or “right?”… [One person that I respect and admire for the breadth and depth of his knowledge still speaks this way when interviewing guests for his Substack. Because of this I can’t even read the transcript, let alone listen to his commentary (usually). Yet he is an excellent essayist when writing.]
Even good speakers will end up with an occasional uummhhmm or “ugh” or such, rather than be silent until their brain engages fully and properly. But the best do manage to pause quietly when needed.

That bit about Robinson being a Fuentes follower is unsubstantiated. Friends from high school said Tyler went hard left as a high school sophomore.

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson lived with transgender partner: source

WASHINGTON — Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday.

That individual, who has yet to be identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman.

Apparently, Tyler was a follower of Nick Fuentes, who hated Kirk because Kirk wasn’t right wing enough.

OK, who’s disoriented now?

Ace Pagoda : “I wonder if this young man thought of the damage to his family when he became an assassin or did he hate them too? ”

I wonder if he hated them more, or at least his father. Political acts aren’t necessarily motivated by genuine conviction; sometimes the convictions are just an excuse.

@TJ:Tyler’s Mr Robinson also lives in a $600K home — something unlikely for a Deputy Sherrif to be able to afford. Houses purchased 10 years ago in Washington County were half as much and mortgages were around 3%, easily affordable for a deputy sheriff if he didn't buy it yesterday. Doesn't need Internet sleuths to explain, just an awareness that prices and salaries change over time and that the market price of a house is not the same as what was paid for it, since people generally live in a house for some time.

Homer: Hey, when I was your age, fifty cents was a lot of money. Bart: Really? Homer: Naah.

Thanks for the information on the rifles, Chases Eagles. So, the gun may not be easily traceable. On the other hand, it also sounds more likely that the shooter got this somewhere other than his family’s hunting rifle collection. My husband has a bolt-action rifle; many deer hunters do.

AesopFan, it appears that the shooter was only briefly in college in Utah. He dropped out, and presumably went deeper into the weird labyrinth of the left-wing internet.

Utah is not a hot-bed of left wing activism, except in Salt Lake City, but I decided to check out the university scenes. The colleges have some leftists trying to make head-way, but I couldn’t find anything more recent than these. The administrators were firm about the difference between First Amendment protesting and rule-breaking.

More from Ace, and a bonus updated version of the cartoon showing the Left-Right axis with the “moving center.”

The Week In Woke Waking Up
Some nice posts about normie liberals waking up to the absolute cesspool of murder ideation and mental illness of their fellow lefties, and declaring they’re walking away.

Also, some various less-political normies who now feel the courage to say enough is enough.

Several of the links are videos of black “influencers” bailing out of the Democrat boat.
Others are Asian, Hispanic, & White; male & female; gay and not; many young folks.
“The Democrats Have Now Lost the TikTok Generation…”

Of the 18 reactions Ace linked, this one was the most poignant.
https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1966307996151197902
“The young man who was speaking to Charlie Kirk before he got shot says, “The point I was trying to make is how peaceful the left was…right before he got shot.”
That’s absolutely brutal.”

The cartoon is pretty brutal also.

And then there are a lot of links about the lefties who learned first-hand what cancel culture means because they got to experience it this time.

Winner in the category of “We will write anything that gets a few more clicks but don’t expect us to be consistent.”
