(1) Hasan Piker celebrates and mocks Charlie Kirk’s death with a crowd of happy haters:

We have seen protesters on the left around the country mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even reenacting his murder. Hate traffickers like Jennifer Welch have even justified his assassination. It is all shocking and depressing, but none reached the level of Hasan Piker leading a huge crowd in mocking Kirk and his faith. Before he was murdered, Kirk debated Piker and called him a “socialist hypocrite.” What is shocking is not the utter depravity and cruelty of Piker, but the ecstasy of the crowd in relishing the death of someone with opposing views. It is part of the conditioning in an “age of rage.”

In the video, Piker leads the crowd in the meme song “We Are Charlie Kirk” at a stop of his “Fear& LIVE” tour, including such lines as “We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame. We’ll fight for the Gospel, we’ll honor his name.” His co-hosts and the crowd seem to be laughing with joy.

(2) I guess it’s okay to be a “journalist” and not only celebrate Kirk’s death but make up fake quotes from him. The WaPo is forced to reinstate an employee who did just that.

(3) The Huck Finn wars.

(4) In the California governor’s race, Hilton is gaining on Becerra in the polls.

But I think there’s no way Hilton wins. However, I’d love to be pleasantly surprised.

(5) Boomers are doing more cannabis.
