@andyblarsen In general, was Utah being buyers instead of sellers this year on your radar at all? I’m floored by the move, but also maybe just a smidge less plugged in to the situation than you.
The thing that surprises me about the Kimmel thing is what a complete chickenshit Bob Iger turned out to be. You’d think someone that powerful and rich would be too proud to kowtow to anyone, especially a president who emptily threatens all the time.
The only acceptable response to Kimmel being suspended is for him to star in a sequel to the Bob Murray song on @LastWeekTonight but instead aimed at Trump. Can we make this happen?
Call it virtue signaling or self-righteousness, but I simply cannot fathom violence being the best solution. I can’t fathom celebrating quite literally anyone’s death. Being sickened by his vitriolic hate speech and being heartbroken for his kids aren’t mutually exclusive.
Hey friends.
Things seem pretty bad and bleak right now, don’t they? I don’t have an answer for anything, as I don’t think there is one. My two recommendations are to spend more time with loved ones, and to focus on being kind. Hang in there. ❤️ I love you all.
A while back I put out these rules for the internet. 1. When we disagree, we fight. 2. We have a beer afterward. 3. When we agree, we unite. I got a lot of flack, surprisingly, for the line about the beer. People would ask, "Oh yeah, would you have a beer with Charlie Kirk?!"
Well, I did. And I'm glad I did, because now I won't get to. Yes, Charlie and I disagreed a lot and about really important things. But somehow we didn't lose our humanity. We were still fellow Americans.
We can all choose to hate each other now. That's a normal, human reaction. We can choose to blame each other, and I'm sure we will, endlessly. Or we can defy the voices of division in the country, and have a beer together. This time, in grief.
If you really want to strike back at whoever did this, listen to each other instead of hating one another. They want us to hate each other. Treating one another as brothers and sisters, as a united America, would be a historic act of defiance.
Since I'm on the left, I'll go first. For everyone on the right, and most especially the Kirk family, I am so sorry for your loss. I share your grief and I want you to know our hearts are with you!
