At Charlie Kirk’s memorial, tens of thousands gathered, but online, the story took a very different turn, with rumours about Grindr outages nearby. Associate Professor Lauren Rosewarne from the University of Melbourne explores how internet humour collides with politics, why irony thrives in queer culture, and what these stories say about power and protest.
