EDITORIAL: Charlie Kirk, Civil Discourse, Dystopias, and the Need for Narrative
Like many Americans, I find myself reeling after the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. Horrified, for what this means for free speech. When the man who goes around trying to promote civil discourse and healthy public debate is shot for his words, we’ve entered dystopian-level crazy. And to see how many people’s first response is to celebrate the death of the man who would have willingly invited them to the table to talk, I wonder how far gone our society is.

In the light of the horrible murder of Charlie Kirk we’re all getting through our feelings about, it is perhaps instructive to note a “bigger picture” issue it brings to the forefront that applies not just to political stories but to EVERY story, event, commentary, or utterance from politicos, office holders, and punditry.
The Bubble People.
I get that they have their views and they are different than mine. I get that expressing their views is part of their job description, whether media or elected official (though maybe the actors and their ilk should just plain shut up and sing/dance/perform). But wow what a bubble they live in that they couldn’t wait a day, a few days, even a week or more to just plain know that shutting up is the best policy at a time of trauma.
Simu Liu Throws Shade at Superman Sequel After Shang-Chi Future Remains Unclear

But over on X, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu is already giving Superman the stare-down. While a sequel to this year’s Superman has the green light just months after the film’s debut, a follow-up to 2021’s Shang-Chi has yet to be confirmed.
