#196Obviously witchcraft doesn't actually work, but the timing on this Jezebel article "We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk" is darkly comical. https://www.jezebel.com/we-paid-some-etsy-witches-to-curse-c...
I’m sure the original first season of 24 had a plot similar to 9/11 too.

Same sentiment. For a lot of people, freedom is more valuable than even life itself.

#199Off-topic, but I was about report a very hateful response before I refreshed and saw that it had already disappeared. Thank you to @dang and HN's other admins!
