House committee asks Discord, Valve, Twitch and Reddit to testify on online radicalization

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-19 20:41:00

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has asked the CEOs of Discord, Twitch, Valve and Reddit to testify at a hearing on online radicalization. The hearing will be held on October 8, 2025, and is in direct response to the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk, an event some have tried to connect to the online communities the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, participated in.

The "Debate Me Bro" Grift: How Trolls Weaponized the Marketplace of Ideas

news.ycombinator.com Mike Masnick 2025-09-19 20:45:57

The “Debate Me Bro” Grift: How Trolls Weaponized The Marketplace Of Ideas from the debate-me-now-or-you-lose dept Among the attempts to create hagiographic eulogies of Charlie Kirk, I’ve seen more than a few people suggest that Kirk should be respected for being willing to talk to “those who disagree with him” as a sign that he was engaging in good faith. Perhaps the perfect example of this is Ezra Klein’s silly eulogy claiming that Kirk was “practicing politics the right way” because he would

Inside Trumpworld’s Reality Distortion Field

wired.com Jake Lahut 2025-09-20 08:04:52

Before a suspect was even in custody, Trumpworld was on a wartime footing. Charlie Kirk had been fatally shot. Graphic video of the assassination hit terminal velocity online. Several sources of mine were close friends of Kirk, and when I spoke to them last week, it was clear this incident had changed the level of aggression with which they were willing to pursue a crackdown on their boss’s perceived enemies. “I think we want to confront violent left wing rhetoric. We want PEACE, and unity,” o

The Helldivers community is coping with a spotlight it doesn’t want

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-09-25 16:00:00

“Yesterday was an interesting day for the Helldivers community.” That’s the very obvious understatement that announced the reopening of the Helldivers gaming subreddit in the small hours of Saturday morning. On Friday it was discovered that Tyler Robinson, arrested for the alleged killing of Charlie Kirk, had inscribed messages on the casings of several bullets found at the crime scene. One of those read “Hey fascist! Catch!” accompanied by an up arrow symbol, a right arrow, and three down arrow

Cancel Culture Comes for Artists Who Posted About Charlie Kirk’s Death

wired.com Manisha Krishnan 2025-09-25 16:24:10

Almost immediately after she posted about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, author and trans woman Gretchen Felker-Martin started having second thoughts. Felker-Martin, who wrote the latest iteration of DC Comics’ Red Hood series, said “thoughts and prayers you Nazi bitch” on Bluesky in response to the killing of Kirk, a right-wing influencer and Trump ally who was staunchly anti–trans rights. “Hope the bullet’s okay after touching Kirk,” she added. Kirk died after being shot at a stop on his Amer

After Kirk shooting, Utah governor calls social media a “cancer.” Will we treat it like one?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-26 08:55:49

The conservative broadcaster/provocateur Charlie Kirk—murdered this week during a visit to a Utah college—had tweeted some life advice this summer: "When things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, it’s important to stay grounded. Turn off your phone, read scripture, spend time with friends, and remember internet fury is not real life. It’s going to be ok." Kirk was not himself always a great role model for staying grounded, thoughtful, or caring to others. He was better know

The Morning After: HBO Max is going to get more expensive

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-27 21:15:33

As is often the case, the tech news tide is out after Apple’s iPhone 17 event. (Did we do a dedicated newsletter on all the announcements? Yes, yes we did.) Before the weekend, though, there’s still more to read about. But let’s start with the not-great tech news. David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, plans to make HBO more expensive and passwords a lot harder to share. These were part of his comments at a Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, which sounds awful. The main

DC Ends ‘Red Hood’ Comic After Writer’s Charlie Kirk Comments

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-29 08:04:05

DC Comics canceled its new, mature-rated Red Hood comic just hours after it launched on September 10 because its writer made comments about the assassination of right-wing activist and Turning Point USA creator Charlie Kirk at Utah University. Red Hood writer Gretchen Felker-Martin made comments and joked on social media about Kirk’s death—which occurred on the same day as the comic’s launch. Red Hood, which Felker-Martin was creating along with artist Jeff Spokes, will discontinue after its f

‘Star Trek’ Is Born on ‘Strange New Worlds’

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-14 06:15:05

A few weeks ago in Strange New Worlds‘ up-and-down third season, “A Space Adventure Hour” delivered a deeply unsubtle paean to the creation of Star Trek. This week, Strange New Worlds does much the same: but this time the birth of Star Trek is within the text itself, making for a much more interesting lens on the birth of an icon. From the moment that it opens, it becomes clear that “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail” (named for a Vulcan idiom that Spock uses later on) is not going to be a typical ep

A New ‘Star Trek’ Comic Will Bring Captain Kirk Back to Life

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-03-08 14:17:38

Somehow, Captain Kirk returned. Wrong sci-fi franchise for that meme, but it’s true. IDW Publishing has just announced Star Trek: The Last Starship as a new addition to its line of Trek comics, and it’ll focus on a certain Starfleet hero who’s been dead since the big-screen events of 1994’s Star Trek: Generations. How is this possible? Well, beyond the long-held notion that anything is possible in sci-fi, a notion that also applies to comic books, the Hollywood Reporter—which was the first to a

Pentagon Has Been Pushing Americans to Believe in UFOs for Decades, New Report

news.ycombinator.com Lucas Ropek 2026-03-17 02:43:10

UFOs have been back in the news a lot lately, and it may be the case that the government wants it that way. Last week, the Wall Street Journal published the first of a two-part series that probes the ways in which the Defense Department has been responsible for creating and fostering the UFO mythology in America. The article shows that the government has, at various points over the years, purposefully sown disinformation about UFOs, in an effort to make Americans believe in little green men. Th

What It Took to Bring Those Viral Star Trek Short Films to Life

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-10 08:30:52

In the past few years, there’s been plenty of Star Trek to talk about—new shows starting, older shows coming to their ends, the franchise’s future on screens big and small alike (although not always entirely successfully). But for some Trek diehards, a peculiar string of numbers is all that has been on their lips: 765874. That number—the purported Starfleet serial number of Yeoman J. M. Colt from the original Star Trek pilot episode “The Cage”—is the title that has been given to a series of sho
