A screen shot here of what was said that started it all:
But after the backlash and apology..
More backlash..
All eyes are on a new movie THE LONG WALK coming out, based on King’s book.. Many are now clamoring online to boycott the film..
DEVELOPING..
For those who saw the Charlie Kirk video this week, we probably still can’t get over it. It was gruesome and graphic—and honestly, it’s something we probably shouldn’t have seen at all.
A few days ago, when Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a college in Utah, everything seemed to go to hell in a handbasket. From that moment on, we’ve been fighting, doxing, outing.
But put all that aside for a second. One of the worst moments of this entire week was not just Kirk’s death, but also the horrifying video of a Ukrainian refugee being stabbed to death on a train. Two separate tragedies, two shocking images, both dropped into our social media feeds.
Back in the old days, you had to hit “play” before you saw something like that. You had to make a choice—yes or no. Sometimes platforms still blur or black out videos now, but for at least 9 to 12 hours after Kirk’s assassination, the footage wasn’t hidden. It auto-played. It popped up without warning. And for those who saw it—including me, against my own will the second time—it was haunting. The first time I clicked intentionally. The second time it was forced on me.
What we all saw was someone’s life being ripped away in an instant. I’m not trying to get graphic or indulge in gore porn, but it felt like watching a soul leave the body in real-time. Blood pouring, life slipping.
The Drudge Report even used an image of Kirk slumped lifeless as its main photo for 24 hours, linked directly to the video. We can debate whether people had the “right” to see it, but even if we do—maybe we shouldn’t have. It’s not something the human psyche is built to take in casually while scrolling before bed.
And sure enough, the fallout has been real. People online have said they couldn’t sleep for days. Others described feeling sick to their stomachs. All because of a video they didn’t ask to see.
In the past, disturbing content was something you sought out. Kids traded VHS copies of Faces of Death. Early internet users braved Rotten.com. That was back when the “dark web” was just the web. But the Charlie Kirk video? This was a dark-web moment happening on the mainstream internet. And maybe that’s what feels so different about it.
We’re not saying this is an Archduke Ferdinand moment, but the assassination feels different because of how it was delivered. We saw it. Together. In real time. On the same platforms where we share our kids’ pictures, joke with friends, and post memes. The very place that connects us also traumatized us.
I don’t know where we go from here. I’m not calling for bans or laws. I’m not demanding that social media change its rules overnight. What I’m saying is simpler, more gut-level: we weren’t supposed to see that video. Those of us who did probably won’t forget it. And that’s not good for our minds, our hearts, or our national consciousness.
Did you feel the spike?
According to people who are paying close attention to the Schumann resonance, the spike itself was off the charts today—and has been building for a few days. Strange activity has been noticed before, but today’s complete whiteout seems to signal a surge of something across the planet. Interestingly, this surge also coincides with the announcement of the Charlie Kirk suspect, Tyler Robinson, being caught.
Now, what is the Schumann resonance exactly? Technically, it’s a set of electromagnetic frequencies generated by lightning and natural atmospheric activity, circling the Earth between its surface and the ionosphere.
Or it’s just a load of horse manure..
Some scientists say it’s nothing mystical at all, just a natural background hum of the planet. Others dismiss modern “spikes” being reported online as little more than misread charts, pseudo-science, or new-age nonsense. Still, many believe the Schumann resonance reflects or even influences human consciousness, and they report physical and emotional symptoms when the charts show a whiteout—headaches, brain fog, fatigue, restlessness, high energy, stress, ringing in the ears, and more.
Whether real or imagined, what’s clear is that something vibrationally unusual happened today—and for those sensitive to such things, it felt pretty big. So, how do you feel today?
A whirlwind of a news cycle has developed. We still don’t officially know who the Charlie Kirk killer is. But countless suspects are being bantered about on social media. Even 4chan got into the mix, digging up someone with a SoundCloud track about Charlie Kirk being dead at the age of 31—written long enough ago that it reportedly drew an FBI visit to the person’s doorstep. There’s also surveillance video of a purported shooter on a roof. Yet, at the same time, crowd reactions are claiming that everything was just a little too well-done for it to be a lone wolf.
As the investigation into the crime plays out, the post-crime world has become just as strange. A few coincidences stand out.
But maybe even more interesting than the paranormal world of Etsy witches is the AI-contrived world of books on Amazon. Here’s the catch: a book titled The Shooting of Charlie Kirk appeared almost instantly. No big shock there—AI could probably crank out a book like that in seconds. The real shock was the publication date: September 9th. That’s the day before the shooting.
We verified this ourselves. The listing existed on Amazon, and we saw it both on the app and the website. The screenshots we’ve shared weren’t taken from some third-party site—they’re ours. Whether what we were seeing was a glitch or not, the fact remains: both platforms showed the book live on September 9. Now it’s gone.
We’ve been searching since and haven’t seen much of an official response from Amazon. What we did find, though, is that books submitted to Amazon’s system usually sit in the ether for 24 to 72 hours before they’re approved for sale. So how did this happen? Really—how did this happen?
People can joke all they want about conspiracy theories, but this isn’t just funny. It’s weird. Very, very weird.
There are people who are being doxed over their celebrations of the Kirk killing..
Some people became very blood thirsty in the immediate aftermath.
Meanwhile, the manhunt continues for the shooter, and the reaction across this divided nation continues right alongside it.
A strange wave has come over this country. We can’t quite pinpoint what that something is. Political battles have always taken place. Fighting has always happened. Animosity and violence, from time to time, have occurred. But the assassination of Charlie Kirk yesterday ignited a different kind of wave.
You had your usual back-and-forth: the “thoughts and prayers” crowd on one side, and then—far more disturbingly—people who weren’t just indifferent, but openly celebrating. Not hiding it. Not whispering it. Celebrating. Memes, mockery, gleeful remarks. We’ve all had family or friends who said ugly things about news events, but those conversations used to happen behind closed doors, around the kitchen table.
Now, they happen instantly on social media, in the raw hours after blood is still drying. Screenshots of celebrations go viral. Then there are fights about the fights—arguments over whether revenge is needed, whether to dox people, whether to double down. The chatter becomes clatter. The noise eats itself.
And through it all, the obvious truth: violence is a failure. When you turn to violence, you’re essentially admitting defeat. You’re declaring your ideas weren’t strong enough to win on their own.. so instead, you kill the person holding the ideas you hate. It’s morally bankrupt. It accomplishes nothing but more grief. Yet last night, videos spread of people defending it, saying Kirk’s murder proved that sometimes violence is the answer.
That’s where we are. The great American nosedive. We’ve talked about pop culture reactions to tragedy before. But this one? This one feels different. This one feels rotten.
It feels like we’re in a soft Civil War. Not the kind with battle lines and uniforms, but one fought in algorithms, comment sections, and dark private groups. The beginnings of a conflict with no victors.
We should be pausing, collecting ourselves. But nobody is. We should be thinking deeply. But thoughtfulness has been replaced by taunts and jeers. We cheer when “the other side” takes a violent end, as if that’s a point scored for our cult.
Sometimes I just want to tap out, let someone else step into the ring, because staying in the ring is exhausting. Where do we go from here? Maybe nowhere.
Did you ever see a perfectly crisp red apple, shining in the sunlight? It looks beautiful, delicious—until you bite into it and find it’s rotten inside. That’s America right now.
So who’s going to take the first bite?
