It was sort of a good day except for the bad car crash ahead of me and my truck broke down once, but I still got done quite early

Good morning Jay, hope you have a happy birthday ๐ŸŽ‚

Hey everyone, I just want to take a moment to be completely real with you guys. I know I shitpost a lot with my memes and other posts, sometimes passionately and sometimes stupidly, but my head and heart are in a completely different place this morning. The horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk yesterday was, perhaps ironically, and perhaps poetically, a turning point for America. I pray it is a turn for the better, and I simultaneously fear it will be a turn for the worse.

The ideals of freedom and free speech are ones that I am confident most of us here hold dearly. They are deeply engrained in the very DNA of nostr, and itโ€™s one of the main reasons I believe we are all here. We value having a place where any voice and any viewpoint can be expressed, discussed, and debated, without resorting to physical violence against one another. That is how it should be in a society of free people. It is how good/beneficial ideas rise to the forefront, and it is how bad/harmful ideas are exposed for what they truly are. Whether you agreed or disagreed with Charlie Kirkโ€™s beliefs/views, it was clear that he valued and advocated for free speech and peaceful debate.

Yesterdayโ€™s shooting was a direct attack on those ideals. I am saddened and disgusted that it happened, but I am even more saddened and disgusted by the fact that many people are celebrating, excusing, and justifying what took place. It was evil. Period.

Maybe you agree with me, and maybe you disagree with me. Maybe you just donโ€™t care about any of it. You do you, but for me it is a turning point. Something changed yesterday, and even though I donโ€™t fully grasp it yet, things will not be the same after this.

I am traveling through the weekend for an event, and have decided to go ahead take that entire time off nostr to reflect on some things, including to assess what this account will look like moving forward. The memes will still flow, but it may be time for course shift. Stay tuned. See you next week.

Hope you have a good and safe trip my friend, talk to you when you return

The kids gave me some birthday presentsโ€ฆ Iโ€™m wearing this shirt to all family functions now.
