A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

I dunno I couldn't give less of a fuck about him but I do feel bad for his kids

Whenever this happens I can't help feel like said public figure is literally just autopiloting sympathies. Like, 9 times out of 10, yes, that's the right thing to say but like, but c'mon.
I blame the fact that "liberal media" MSNBC is sympathetic to Kirk, and in the absence of critical thinking and, well, existence in online spaces, that's probably the go to response. Coldplay is mostly Gen X, ya? I've had to explain this situation to Gen Xers to not be surprised here.
