Source: Yahoo! News
“Israeli forces pressed on with a new ground offensive in Gaza City Wednesday as strikes overnight across the Palestinian territory killed at least 16 people, including women and children, hospital officials said. Hundreds of thousands remained in the city, the territory’s largest and already in ruins from nearly two years of war and struggling with a famine. The latest Israeli operation, which started Tuesday, further escalates a conflict that has roiled the Middle East and likely pushes any ceasefire farther out of reach.” (09/17/25)

“Russia is deliberately targeting Ukraine’s key railway junctions in a bid to destroy the country’s main transportation artery, according to Ukrainian authorities. ‘The enemy tried to disable substations that power the railway network with a massive drone attack this night,’ Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Kuleba said in a post on Facebook published early Wednesday. … According to Kuleba, some 20 trains were in transit when Russia launched its massive overnight attack on the railways of eastern Ukraine. While no one was injured, 26 trains have been delayed in the Dnipro and Odesa regions due to the attacks. Passengers on board the trains reported they had been stuck for more than five hours as a result of the strikes.” (09/17/25)

“President Donald Trump on Tuesday extended the deadline for ByteDance to divest TikTok’s U.S. business, which will be owned by an investor consortium that includes Oracle and Silver Lake, CNBC’s David Faber reported. It’s the fourth time Trump has extended the deadline. The extension, as described in an executive order, precludes the Department of Justice from enforcing a national security [sic] law that would effectively ban TikTok in the U.S. until Dec. 16. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed on Monday that a ‘framework deal’ had been reached involving TikTok. Under the national security [sic] law, which would have come into effect on Wednesday, app store operators like Apple and Google and internet service providers would be penalized for providing services to TikTok’s U.S. operations if a deal was not reached.” (09/16/25)

“A judge on Tuesday dismissed terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione in New York state’s case over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, but he kept the state’s second-degree murder charges against the Ivy League graduate. Mangione’s lawyers argued that the New York case and a parallel federal death penalty prosecution amounted to double jeopardy. But Judge Gregory Carro rejected that argument, saying it would be premature to make such a determination. … Mangione pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of murder, including murder as an act of terrorism, in the Dec. 4, 2024, killing.” (09/16/25)

“The shooting of civilians in Derry on Bloody Sunday was ‘unjustified,’ ‘unnecessary’ and ‘gratuitous,’ a prosecution barrister has said on the opening day of the trial of Soldier F. The former member of the British army’s elite Parachute Regiment is charged with the murders of James Wray and William McKinney and five counts of attempted murder in Derry on January 30th, 1972. He denies the charges. Thirteen people were killed when members of the regiment opened fire on anti-internment marchers in Derry’s Bogside on what became known as Bloody Sunday. A 14th died later. Soldier F is the first member of the British armed forces to face prosecution for his actions on the day. He is the subject of a court order protecting his anonymity and cannot be identified, and appeared in court shielded from view by a black curtain.” (09/16/25)

“The Russian owner of a cargo ship linked to a supply of ammonium nitrate at the centre of the massive Beirut port explosion in 2020 has been arrested in Bulgaria, Lebanese judicial officials said on Monday. The arrest of Igor Grechushkin comes nearly five years after a Lebanese investigative judge issued two arrest warrants through Interpol for him and the vessel’s captain, Boris Prokoshev, also a Russian national. The judicial officials said papers are being prepared requesting the transfer of Grechushkin to Lebanon for questioning. They said that if Grechushkin is not handed over, Lebanese investigators could travel to Bulgaria to question him there.

Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) during a fiery exchange over the Russiagate scandal, lambasting him as ‘a political buffoon at best.’ ‘What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reform and combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you and we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in Russiagate, in January 6th,’ Patel told the California Democrat. ‘You are the biggest fraud to sit in the United States Senate. You are a disgrace to this institution and an utter coward,’ the FBI boss went on, raising his voice. … Schiff had pressed Patel about the quiet transfer of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to a lower-security federal facility in Texas, a decision that the FBI boss claimed was under the purview of the Bureau of Prisons.” (09/16/25)

Source: Associated Press
“Georgia’s highest court has declined to consider Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’[s] appeal of her removal from the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump and others. Citing an ‘appearance of impropriety’ created by a romantic relationship Willis had with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she had hired to lead the case, the Georgia Court of Appeals in December ruled that Willis and her office could not continue to prosecute the case. … Willis said she disagreed with the court’s decision, but would direct her office to make the case file and evidence available to the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia so it can appoint a new prosecutor to replace her. … A grand jury in Atlanta indicted Trump and 18 others in August 2023, using the state’s anti-racketeering law to accuse them of participating in a wide-ranging scheme to illegally try to overturn Trump’s narrow 2020 presidential election loss to Democrat Joe Biden in Georgia.” (09/16/25)

George Zinn, 71, was charged with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor Tuesday after investigators found more than 20 images of kids as young as 5 years old at least partially naked and ‘posing in a sexual way,’ the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. ‘Zinn admitted … that he gets sexual gratification from viewing and sharing [child sexual abuse material] images with others, and that his preferred victim age is 5 to 12 years old,’ the agency alleged. Zinn, who is considered ‘a political gadfly,’ is also facing a charge of obstruction of justice after he allegedly admitted to screaming that he shot Kirk on a Utah college campus Wednesday in a bid to help the actual shooter get away.” (09/16/25)

“Thousands rallied across Slovakia on Tuesday in a nationwide mass protest against the economic and pro-Russian policies of populist Prime Minister Robert Fico. The rallies took place in 16 major cities and towns, including the capital of Bratislava. They latest wave of protests has been fueled by a trip by Fico to China where he met Russian President Vladimir Putin for the third time since the Russian all-out invasion of Ukraine.

21) A Replacement for the Nation-State?
Source: Reason
by Scott Beyer
“The authors [of Farewell to Westphalia] premise the book around the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, a set of treaties that ended Europe’s 30 Years’ War and established state sovereignty as the principle for international relations. They argue that while this new order was effective at toppling monarchies, religious despots, and other so-called medieval institutions, the new nation-states haven’t been perfect either. At worst, they further inflamed tribal tensions by drawing arbitrary lines around them. At best, they produced mediocre governance. … Nation-states are also, they argue, already getting disrupted by alternative forms of governance, some preferable to others. These include large corporations, nongovernmental organizations, cartels, special economic zones (SEZs), and homeowners’ associations. It is within this disruption that new, anarchic Web3 technologies enter.” (09/16/25)

“On September 10, Florida’s 1st District Court of Appeal looked at the state’s law against ‘open carry’ of firearms, looked at the US Constitution’s 2nd Amendment, and noticed that the latter supersedes the former. Five days later, Florida Attorney General James Uthmier issued ‘guidance to Florida’s prosecutors and law enforcement,’ notifying them that ‘as of last week, open carry is the law of the state.’ … Such a straightforwardly correct court ruling, and its relatively quick acceptance by a power-hungry politician whom one might expect to reflexively contest it, may seem strange even by Florida standards (interestingly, the now-common ‘Florida Man’ phenomenon emerged a few months after I moved to the state … make of that what you will). Even stranger, though, is the reaction I’m seeing from some hoplophobes — people who suffer from an irrational fear of guns — in Florida (and elsewhere, but let’s stick to Florida).” (09/16/25)

23) Empowered learning: How homeschooling through high school helped me thrive
Source: Foundation for Economic Education
by Nasiyah Isra-Ul
“The only thing ‘traditional’ about my schooling was my time in front of the whiteboard, where I practiced vocabulary and math problems. I spent most of my days taking trips to local libraries and museums, studying online, having hands-on experiences, journaling, and designing a schedule that worked for me. By the time high school hit, self-directed education was my main mode of learning …. You could easily think I ‘missed out’ on some valuable experiences that most children in America grow up having in public school. But between the four-hour school days and being grades ahead in certain subjects by the time I hit middle school, I don’t think I missed out on too much. In fact, I’d argue that the way I was educated taught me an important lesson about the value of education.” (09/16/25)

“Charlie Kirk championed free speech as a fundamental American value. So, it’s sad—and ironic—that the murder of the 31-year-old conservative activist has triggered a fresh round of censorship, alarmingly aimed at teachers and other government employees. Educators in a dozen states have been fired or placed on leave for online statements that criticized Kirk or expressed approval of his death. … teachers have no right to propagandize in their classrooms about Charlie Kirk or anything else. But the ones who were fired or suspended last week commented on social media, imagining it was a forum for free and open dialogue. … Republicans used to worry that technology companies censored speech via content moderation and other restrictions. Now they’re calling for restrictions to ensure nobody besmirches Kirk.” (09/16/25)

Have economists been wrong all these years to insist that consumers should be free to buy imports even when the prices of imports are quite low and their purchase takes business away from particular American firms and workers? Most economists, including myself, believe not. But if we’re mistaken, our professional duty demands that we point out that Trump’s protectionism is insufficiently ambitious; it should go much further. Trump’s protectionism overlooks a source of low-priced goods that poses a far worse threat than do foreign producers to American producers and workers. That source of low-priced goods is the past. Goods sold in resale markets cost nothing to manufacture today.” (09/16/25)

28) Really, What the Hell Is a “Libertarian Authoritarian?”
Source: Center for a Stateless Society
by Kevin Carson
“[T]here’s an entire milieu of self-identified ‘libertarians’ whose views are characterized mainly by ‘hostility toward openness to foreigners and the wider world and to anger at what presents as scientific authority.’ For starters, that describes about nine-tenths of the commenters under Reason articles. There’s also Argentina’s Javier Milei, widely celebrated as a ‘libertarian’ in publications like Reason, whose authoritarianism I recently examined. There’s Walter Block, who has repeatedly vouched for the libertarian character of ‘voluntary slavery’ over the course of his career. And then there’s the entire paleolibertarian movement, which can be described with little exaggeration as having grown into a giant festering sore with the withered cadaver of the historic libertarian movement attached.” (09/16/25)

29) Trump Administration Rushes To Kill Free Speech In Response To Kirk Assassination
Source: Caitlin Johnstone, Rogue Journalist
by Caitlin Johnstone
“US Attorney General Pam Bondi just said on a podcast that ‘hate speech’ directed at conservatives was responsible for Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and that people who utter such speech will be prosecuted by the Trump administration. Bondi’s comments came after the podcast’s host Katie Miller (wife of Trump henchman Stephen Miller) bizarrely [sic] suggested that Kirk’s murder at a university was a symptom of university campuses being too tolerant of mistreatment of people with conservative views. At the same time, Miller’s husband Stephen circulated the baseless claim that an ‘organized campaign’ by left wing ‘terrorist networks’ led to Kirk’s murder, and that the Trump administration is going to ‘dismantle and destroy’ these networks.” [editor’s note: CJ has joined the MSM idiots, missing the point on this one; Bondi clarified her statement, declaring that if “hate speech” promotes active violence, it should be condemned, if not disallowed entirely – SAT] [editor’s note: And SAT gas fallen, again, for what may become the next Charlottesville Hoax Hoax – TLK] (09/16/25)

by Hagen Blix & Ingeborg Glimmer
“Without a doubt, AI has already automated the production of bullshit — that is, text and images that do not commit the producers of that content to any kind of truth. Where these are intended to act as political speech, we can see the resonance between AI and far right politics, where texts and images are often used to manipulate the emotional valence of a particular topic and amplify its affective resonances. … Is any of this an issue of hype, of some discrepancy between promised capabilities and real capabilities? Or is the root issue that the very real affordances of very real AI potentiate fascist political aims and methods? Is the problem that some model output is untrue, or is it that AI models operate akin to the online troll, who just asks questions and just says (bullshit) things for the lulz?” (09/16/25)

“Over two days last week, young people in the Himalayan nation of Nepal took to the streets in protest against corrupt politicians. Their initial complaint was aimed at the adult children of the elite flaunting their lavish wealth in online posts. When the government then banned most social media, the outrage escalated. For Generation Z, or people born between 1997 and 2012, you don’t mess with their online access and connectivity. When the demonstrations caused the government to fall, Nepal’s Gen Z was forced to switch from condemning others to championing their ideals, namely honesty in government. Like the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes, they searched the public square for a few honest leaders, or those without any self-interested motives.” (09/15/25)

“Interviews with Supreme Court justices are rare because they come with guardrails which have to be respected.

It is a very good thing that sitting justices write books, especially when they are accessible to laymen as Justice Barrett’s new Listening to the Law and Justice Gorsuch’s Overruled from last year both accomplished. Justice Breyer’s Making Our Democracy Work was an excellent argument for his approach to judging.

With 1,100 violations and 45% of all violations, freedom of expression topped the CIVICUS Monitor list of global attacks on rights. States that once set an example as bastions of free speech are also faltering. United States first amendment to the Constitution once stood out as a north star for freedom of expression. Creative freedom, critical journalism, dissent, and mockery of leaders were all a go. When attacks against journalists and activists took place around the world, the US and Western democracies stood up.” (09/16/25)

“In 1651, the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes imagined life in the ‘state of nature’ — that is, a world without governing institutions and guardrails. This world was a bleak one, enveloped in a constant state of war that rendered life ‘nasty, brutish, and short.’ Hobbes envisaged a Leviathan, an all-powerful sovereign, as the only means to tame this state of nature. The post-World War II rules-based order, defined and led by the United States, was the modern alternative. Today, we are undergoing a grand experiment testing the impact of moving away from those rules.” (09/16/25)

They point to US gun policies, consumer demand, and ulterior motives behind Washington’s renewed ‘war on drugs,’ such as the current regime-change offensive against Venezuela. The drug problem won’t be solved by scapegoating Latin America, when the US has yet to address root causes at home.” (09/16/25)

They’re getting people fired from their jobs for social media posts that made light of, or even celebrated, Kirk’s death. They’re cruising the streets to demand random businesses lower their flags in his honor. And they’re plotting how to attack the institutions of the left, with Trump deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller vowing Monday to pursue a ‘vast domestic terror movement’ targeting liberal foes. Yet beneath that façade of unity, that appetite of anger, and that thirst for retribution, cracks are emerging as the always-paranoid right is pulled apart by conspiracy theories about Kirk’s murder and a sense that the Trump administration isn’t telling the truth about it.” (09/15/25)

While originally justified on national security grounds, the Jones Act now functions as a protectionist anchor dragging down the nation’s energy sector. With sky-high shipping costs, limited vessel availability, and perverse incentives to import foreign fuel over American energy, the Jones Act isn’t protecting U.S. interests — it’s undermining them.” (09/15/25)

“The Anti-Monopoly Summit kicked off Monday afternoon in Washington, D.C., and continues Tuesday. It’s a signature event for a movement that’s at something of a crossroads. While there have been some scattered bright spots this year, hopes that aggressive antitrust enforcement would survive the transition of power to Donald Trump have been drowned in a sea of corruption and lobbying. Worse, the movement’s most promising live possibility to rein in corporate power ended with an embarrassingly bad ruling by an Obama judge, which showed that some in our courts still cling to an outdated and inadequate conception of the law. In Congress, several old-guard Democrats who advanced anti-monopoly policies have decided to retire, like Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), two of the 13 founding members of the House Monopoly Busters Caucus.” (09/16/25)

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed on Monday that a ‘framework deal’ had been reached involving TikTok.

Most economists, including myself, believe not.

Trump’s protectionism overlooks a source of low-priced goods that poses a far worse threat than do foreign producers to American producers and workers. That source of low-priced goods is the past.

Mr. Barnes had confessed to the belief that ‘all men are created equal because our rights come from God, our Creator; not from our laws, not from our governments.’ Horrifying!” (09/16/25)

35) Charlie Kirk and “Cancel Culture”
Source: Libertarian Institute
by Thomas Eddlem
“While the praise for Kirk’s murder online was mostly reactionary and thoughtless, the calls for firing the (mostly powerless) people who said or posted about Kirk is different in one sense: Their kind of punch-down bullying is thought-out, thoroughly deliberate. Therefore, in that one sense, the right-wing dimwits calling for their pound of leftist flesh are worse than the leftist dimwits who posted that crap online in the first place. … Anyone seeking liberty should see this for what it is: A screen test of the two-minutes of Orwellian hate that will be used against people seeking liberty at the first opportunity.” (09/16/25)

by Bryan Caplan
“The stereotypical drug user is a life-long addict. While stereotypes are usually good statistical approximations of the truth, I’ve long had the sense that this particular stereotype is false. The infamous heroin study, for example, found that the vast majority of U.S. soldiers who used heroin in Vietnam quit when they came home. Only recently, however, did I discover much more systematic evidence.” (09/16/25)

37) Saving civil discourse: Justice Barrett raises the bar
Source: Fox News
by Hugh Hewitt
“Interviews with Supreme Court justices are rare because they come with guardrails which have to be respected. Having conducted interviews with Justices Stephen Breyer, Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas and now Amy Coney Barrett, it is useful to put those rules down for future interviewers. It is a very good thing that sitting justices write books, especially when they are accessible to laymen as Justice Barrett’s new Listening to the Law and Justice Gorsuch’s Overruled from last year both accomplished. Justice Breyer’s Making Our Democracy Work was an excellent argument for his approach to judging. My Grandfather’s Son was an eye-opening account of Justice Thomas’ life, from its incredibly challenging beginnings as well as of the path he followed through his college radical days to One First Street.” (09/16/25)

39) From Free Speech Martyr to Thought Police Enforcer: How Pam Bondi’s “Hate Speech” Crusade Betrays Charlie Kirk’s Legacy and the Constitution
Source: Karl Dickey’s Freedom Vanguard
by Karl Dickey
“What is Pam Bondi talking about? She went on the Katie Miller Podcast, stating, ‘There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society … We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.’ This is so opposite of the First Amendment and decades of Supreme Court decisions that her statement is no better than the jawboning coming from the ‘pulpit’ of the White House Briefing Room under Biden’s Psaki. It just shows that all these people in government are power-hungry monsters to our freedoms.” (09/16/25)

“In the world of generative artificial intelligence, things are moving fast, and they could start moving a lot faster. Assuming that current data and design barriers can be overcome, this technological acceleration may deliver either unimaginable benefits or pose one of the greatest adaptive challenges humanity has ever faced. Or perhaps both. If you haven’t heard about ‘recursive’ artificial intelligence, you might want to bone up. Simply put, a recursive AI can improve itself through iterative testing, evaluation, and self-modification. Advancements that might have previously taken months or years for human researchers to achieve could instead be done by AI in hours or days.” (09/16/25)

41) Without Free Speech, Democracy [sic] Dies
Source: Common Dreams
by Nipuna Kumbalathara
“Democracy is hanging precariously in a world tilted upside down in the face of today’s endless crises. Our rights and freedoms are dwindling. Free speech, an essential precursor to all human rights, is faltering. Less than 4% of the world’s citizens enjoy a wide range of civic freedoms, and nearly three-quarters live in countries with little. With 1,100 violations and 45% of all violations, freedom of expression topped the CIVICUS Monitor list of global attacks on rights. States that once set an example as bastions of free speech are also faltering. United States first amendment to the Constitution once stood out as a north star for freedom of expression. Creative freedom, critical journalism, dissent, and mockery of leaders were all a go. When attacks against journalists and activists took place around the world, the US and Western democracies stood up.” (09/16/25)

“The question posed above occurred to me as I was reading the final pages of Johan Norberg’s latest book, Peak Human: What We Can Learn from the Rise and Fall of Golden Ages. … The author suggests that the most important precondition for a golden age is ‘an absence of orthodoxies imposed form the top about what to believe, think and say, how to live and what to do.’ He doesn’t present the golden ages he has identified in utopian terms.” (09/16/25)

Source: Cobden Centre
by Michael Froman
“In 1651, the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes imagined life in the ‘state of nature’ — that is, a world without governing institutions and guardrails. This world was a bleak one, enveloped in a constant state of war that rendered life ‘nasty, brutish, and short.’ Hobbes envisaged a Leviathan, an all-powerful sovereign, as the only means to tame this state of nature. The post-World War II rules-based order, defined and led by the United States, was the modern alternative. Today, we are undergoing a grand experiment testing the impact of moving away from those rules.” (09/16/25)

by Roger D Harris
“US policy under Trump, which confounds terrorism with criminal activity, is a cover for projecting military domination. Claiming the prerogative to unilaterally intervene in the sovereign territories of neighboring states to fight cartels or murdering a boat’s crew in the Caribbean are not solutions. Latin American leaders are turning the spotlight back on Washington. They point to US gun policies, consumer demand, and ulterior motives behind Washington’s renewed ‘war on drugs,’ such as the current regime-change offensive against Venezuela. The drug problem won’t be solved by scapegoating Latin America, when the US has yet to address root causes at home.” (09/16/25)

“One of the very best things about the internet — and social media more specifically — is that you can find a community of other people who share your passions, no matter how niche. Love eating oranges in the shower? Or watching videos of Siberian Huskies throwing tantrums? There’s a subreddit for that. But we also have an absolute crisis of kids living in the digital world, with their views warped by fringe memes that they are now applying to real life. The inscription carved into the casing of the bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University last Wednesday, along with messages on unfired bullets found nearby, demonstrate how too much time spent too deep online can totally divorce someone from reality.” (09/15/25)

“You know this one: You’re in an out of control train, about to run-over five people. If you throw a switch you can save three lives, but only by personally killing two others. This scenario has been thrown at college kids for decades, and it is a weapon … a weapon intended to break their moral confidence. How? By getting the kids to imagine being broken. The scenario being thrust into their minds is precisely the type that breaks people.” (09/15/25)

Source: The Bulwark
by Will Sommer
“On the surface, the MAGA movement appears to be united after the murder of prominent activist and conservative media figure Charlie Kirk. They’re getting people fired from their jobs for social media posts that made light of, or even celebrated, Kirk’s death. They’re cruising the streets to demand random businesses lower their flags in his honor. And they’re plotting how to attack the institutions of the left, with Trump deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller vowing Monday to pursue a ‘vast domestic terror movement’ targeting liberal foes. Yet beneath that façade of unity, that appetite of anger, and that thirst for retribution, cracks are emerging as the always-paranoid right is pulled apart by conspiracy theories about Kirk’s murder and a sense that the Trump administration isn’t telling the truth about it.” (09/15/25)

Source: Cato Institute
by Colin Grabow
“Few laws have managed to hobble America’s energy potential as thoroughly — and quietly — as the Jones Act. Enacted in 1920, the law restricts domestic water transportation to vessels that are built and registered in the United States. While originally justified on national security grounds, the Jones Act now functions as a protectionist anchor dragging down the nation’s energy sector. With sky-high shipping costs, limited vessel availability, and perverse incentives to import foreign fuel over American energy, the Jones Act isn’t protecting U.S. interests — it’s undermining them.” (09/15/25)

Source: The American Prospect
by David Dayen
“The Anti-Monopoly Summit kicked off Monday afternoon in Washington, D.C., and continues Tuesday. It’s a signature event for a movement that’s at something of a crossroads. While there have been some scattered bright spots this year, hopes that aggressive antitrust enforcement would survive the transition of power to Donald Trump have been drowned in a sea of corruption and lobbying. Worse, the movement’s most promising live possibility to rein in corporate power ended with an embarrassingly bad ruling by an Obama judge, which showed that some in our courts still cling to an outdated and inadequate conception of the law. In Congress, several old-guard Democrats who advanced anti-monopoly policies have decided to retire, like Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), two of the 13 founding members of the House Monopoly Busters Caucus.” (09/16/25)

by Aja Romano
“Following the killing of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, confusion has mounted about the motives of the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson. Despite uncorroborated claims by Utah Gov. Spencer Cox that Robinson was steeped in ‘leftist ideology,’ Robinson’s personal politics aren’t yet clear and may never be. Pundits and other commentators have struggled to fit him into the familiar mold of a politically motivated killer. Part of the confusion is the memes. … As details about his online life emerge, so does the possibility that Robinson performed a violent, real-life ‘shitpost’ — an intentionally meaningless act.” (09/15/25)
