(Manch Talk 09/17/25) This week on Manch Talk, we peel back the curtain a little—getting philosophical about how you are showing up in the world.

Dear Mayor Kahn and City Council On September 17, Keene City Councilor Bobby Williams offered a sort of “apology” about his vile and offensive comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, which he posted on Facebook. In his apparent apology, he called Kirk’s assassination a tragedy when it was, in fact, an atrocity. A tragedy is a ... Read more

Another Friday end-of-the-week thing means another Friday meme thing, with thanks (as always) to the cadre of meme hunters and gatherers who make this massive Friday meme thing possible. How many? More than fifty and less than one hundred. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... Read more

Words have consequences, and when those words evolve into action, the person who spoke the words needs to be held accountable.

The untimely demise of Turning Point USA’s CEO has created a wealth of fertile ground. Charlie’s passing has energized the world to step up and speak out in favor of free speech.

Every time it happens, we say never again … JFK, RFK, MLK! Let’s face the fact: Mental Illness often requires institutionalization! Until our society acknowledges that the shuttering of mental institutions in the late 1980s, as I recall, has enabled and escalated violence in our society, the violence will continue!

The sort-of, kind-of fallout has begun to settle from AG Pam Bondi’s remarks about prosecuting hate speech. It’s been a few days, an interminable amount of internet time, and other mausements are bound to distract.

The debate surrounding gender, identity, and political ideology has become intensely polarized—nowhere more so than in the rhetoric used by some feminist writers, and liberal women. When columns like Milli Hill’s on Substack paint “right-wing men” as the embodiment of extremism, and frame basic biological or family-based values as dangerous, they do more than distort ...

National test scores are out for our K-12 students, and the results – again – are not good.
