We were upstairs at the Bomb Factory show last night and I made the same comment to my wife. We go to a lot of shows and I couldn't remember many -- if any -- being that loud. We slid back to the upstairs middle to hang with some other friends during the encore and it seemed balanced a little better.
Great show, though.

It doesn't really touch on any new ground but I found this eye-opening:

Sorry, somebody shared it with me via text. Had no idea there was a paywall. I don't have a Vanity Fair sub either.
(I didn't realize it was written by Ta-Nehisi Coates until copypasta.)
Here's text:
Great read from Vanity Fair: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/charlie-kirk-ezra-klein-tanehisi-coates?_sp=5f2dad2a-6123-413e-9fdc-056754b781ce.1758118287797 HED: Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
Ding, ding. When they feel confident enough to throw out things like that, makes you wonder where the line would actually be — or if a line even exists in the first place.
When you have an administration and movement that shoots out an unprecedented amount of absolute bullshit 24/7, you'll pardon us when we don't immediately take something that looks fishy AF at face value.
One thing my wife mentioned a few days ago is how fucking fast everything went. Was there a real autopsy? Did they go in and find the bullet that killed him to match it to the weapon he supposedly used? It takes a couple days normally to prepare a body but wasn’t Kirk’s body in AF2 the day after, maybe two days after. I didn’t believe the text exchange. It was too perfect. The law dogs have commented that the death penalty really doesn’t apply here — maybe they know that and are putting it out there to get the kid to get scared, crack and really confess not over a dubious text exchange.
