Very online misfits

PLUS: The climate impact of owning a dog.

View in browser  |  Your newsletter preferences  11.23.25 The Hard-Left Shooters Leading a Gun Culture Revolution Quick writeup this Thanksgiving weekend: You should read Manisha Krishnan's new piece on "Guntubers" (YouTube gun influencers). Earlier this year, we sent her to a shooting competition in Idaho full of far-left, queer, very online misfits. We thought it'd be kinda quirky and fresh-feeling—libbies like guns too! Then, as she was writing, Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and the story changed. Instead of backing away, Manisha wrote into the controversy, and produced a more memorable piece because of it. Happy holidays, and stay safe.  READ THE BIG STORY ➔  Jason Kehe, Features Editor ADVERTISEMENT He Hunted Alleged Groomers on Roblox.
