Someone just shot at Charlie Kirk at his Utah Valley University "Prove Me Wrong" tour stop. The crowd saw Charlie Kirk fall out of his chair.

The only time I met Noah Smith in person (~2015) he introduced himself as “Noah, everyone follows me on Twitter” and then proceeded to drop multiple n-words singing along to rap during karaoke. Just a really terrible guy.

I firmly believe rice and beans are a main course if you want them to be. They just have to be good as hell (these were).
