bizarre twist: I mentioned earlier that I debated Attiah in 2022 on free speech and cancel culture, at the time she argued quite earnestly that censorship is *only* something the government can do, while firings for speech were just accountability I wonder if she still thinks so

It's such a bizarre feature of online discourse to interpret "celebrating someone's death is wrong" as "they want me to celebrate his life and I WON'T, I tell you!" (stamps foot defiantly). Nobody was requiring you to celebrate his life, don't you understand the difference?

The firing of Karen Attiah is a good example of something I do NOT count as cancel culture. She egregiously misquoted Charlie Kirk, which is journalistic malpractice. WaPo fired her, as was their right. Fine by me. It's not her opinions, it's bad journalism.

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah. Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence. Mark and I are praying for Charlie's…
