Small-Scale Question Sunday for September 14, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Earlier today, someone told me that Charlie Kirk once made derisive comments about Ryan Carson, a left-wing activist who was stabbed to death in New York two years ago. Googling "Charlie Kirk" "Ryan Carson" produces nothing promising. Can anyone confirm whether he really did say anything to this effect?

My search only found one related tweet.

I don't think it counts, but it wasn't (necessarily) made up from whole cloth by your friend.

related to this, can anyone actually find the whole MLK episode they did? I found an 8 minute preview beforehand, but nothing other than like a 1 paragraph excerpt

That means that a) either there are some secret repositories of content which a lot of people can access, but somehow nobody ever can publish anything from there and everybody who has access is bound by an unbreakable vow to deny their existence; or b) literally everybody discussing this does it without actually doing the basic thing like watching the content they are discussing. Which is extremely sad.
