if you do not know what oWo is or uWu then stop posting about this shooter like Bryant Gumbel in 1994 trying to explain the world wide web on the Today Show

Seems not ideal that we got a bunch of people at the ATF and FBI seemingly unfamiliar with internet/gamer culture when that’s basically like the biggest radicalization threat in the entire country at the moment

Charlie Kirk was not a good person, but his death isa tragedy.
Today I am reminded that what America needs to turn down the temperature on political violence is a complete democratic overhaul to a proportional representation system that punishes, rather than rewards, extremism.

via ruby slippers correspondent @TimGihring:
After two decades of the slippers being caught up in accusation and suspicion, the fandom remains unsettled.
“It’s obviously not closure,” one says, “it’s an upturned yellow brick in the road.”

*lies and damn lies. I actually know exactly what I'll do with myself if the Kensington Rune Stone turns out to be true. I'll ask Tim what he thinks, because he wrote the definitive story a while back. @TimGihring

Season 5, Episode 1 of The Object just dropped: “The Department of Missing Limbs.” Ancient statues missing arms, legs, heads, or other appendages seem strangely normal now. What happened to these objects? Listen here: bit.ly/3JKUYD7 or wherever you get your podcasts.

Tomorrow will be 20 years since we lost Paul Wellstone and his leadership. His life and death both had a profound impact on me. This @MinnPost article by @TimGihring reflects well the best of Paul’s legacy. minnpost.com/politics-policy…

Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone died in a plane crash on Oct. 25, 2002 — less than two weeks before the election. Twenty years later, @TimGihring writes that now, his legacy may be stronger than ever.

“Did you know it was about poets drinking?” @TimGihring asks, laughing. The sculpture is one of Minnesota’s charismatic art megafauna, as Mr. Gihring puts it, known to locals as simply the Jade Mountain.

Recorded in home offices and basements, small museum studios and public radio stations, podcasts produced by art museums outside the major art hubs are carving out a place in national conversations around art, culture, curation and the museum industry. nyti.ms/38org8i

A fathomless dive into the depths of art, media, and war. @TimGihring's most affecting & cinematic podcast journey yet.
New episode on #TheObjectPodcast! When WWII begins, Lee Miller is one of the most sought-after women in the world. So why does she trade the high life for the front line, risking everything to be the only female photojournalist allowed in combat? Listen: bit.ly/3z9XBqZ
