I can only echo what others have suggested - seek medical advice.

There is no logical ties between some of the facts you state. ie:

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on a college campus. Jimmy Kimmel was suspended for his monologue about Charlie. I watched it. The joke was mild. I later found out Grace Van Patten was Kimmel’s last guest before the suspension, and Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan was his first upon return. Then it all clicked. I was living in Los Angeles at the time, where Jimmy’s show is based. Kimmel was trying to help, so the chairman (appointed by Trump) used his position to take Jimmy off the air. In other words, they used Charlie…

1. How many people on the planet have the name “Van” somewhere in their name and have appeared on TV? (IMDB gives me at least 50 but it doesn’t show a total results. I’m willing to bet its >10,000)
2. How many Canadian singers are there? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_musicians)
3. How many people live in Canada? (About 41,600,000)
4. How many people live in LA? (About 3,800,000)
5. How many Canadians live in LA? (About 40,000)

These are large subsets of people to specifically link coincidences to an individual.

I’m surprised how many people didn’t realise this. I used to play Ingress, which was also from Niantic and similar to Pokémon Go but involved agents and hacking POIs rather than Pokémon trainers and Poké Stops.

Niantic discussed at the time that this was to support their work on the N+1 navigation problem, although I can’t for the life of me find a quoatable reference for this. I played Ingress knowing that my location data was being harvested thinking it was to solve a problem.

I also wonder how many people realise Niantic Labs was started as a Google internal startup: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niantic%2C_Inc.

If your friends want light, and if they use light, well they’re no friends of mine,
