This entire interview is incredible. @neiltyson is the KING 👑 of circular reasoning. All he does is appeal to authority--to the "consensus"--but then immediately dismisses any who challenge said consensus on the basis of them not being in it. /1
Neil deGrasse Tyson on Why Certain Medical Experts Were Silenced During the COVID Pandemic "I'm not interested in medical pedigree. I'm interested in medical consensus and scientific consensus...The individual scientist does not matter." @delbigtree @neiltyson @HighWireTalk…
There was a time when I would have rolled my eyes at this, dismissing it as a woo woo stretch for meaning. Now I think it's beautiful.
Jesus died at 33. The human spine has 33 vertebrae. The same structure that holds us up is the same number of years He held this Earth. We have 12 ribs on each side. 12 disciples. 12 tribes of Israel. God built His design into our bones. He wrote Heaven into our anatomy. The…

If your version of Christianity can justify the genital mutilation of children, it’s not from Jesus
If your version of Christianity can justify the forced starvation of children, it’s not from Jesus.
I’m not convinced this account is an actual person. The tweets are pitch-perfect awful, and so consistently brain-dead, it’s like they were produced in a lab (or LLM) to trigger normal people.
Jesus would fucking despise you
Just saw this article trending on HN by @dialloibu. I 100% agree. In fact, for the past few months I have been slowly migrating to PWAs. It's not the same experience, in fact, it's a lot worse but the privacy guarantees provided by a browser, the sandbox, the strict permission…
“Assuming all LGBTQ+ content is inappropriate” is a fundamental baseline of civilization 👍
Assuming all LGBTQ+ content is inappropriate for children is extremely homophobic.
Remember all the people fired for not taking the vax by panicked obstreperous nitwits and indignant rulers? The people who did this ought to be exiled to Antarctica.
Abolish the NEA and shut down every government indoctrination center
The National Education Association's handbook says that "home schooling programs based on parental choice cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience." Oh, the irony.
Fascinating thread. Gawker deserved every bit of its punishment.
With Terry Bollea's (Hulk Hogan's) death yesterday, it's a good time to look back at the biggest thing I was ever involved in. For over 3 years, I spent more than half of my worktime on one case-- Bollea v. Gawker. It was Charles Harder's case-- I handled "the appeal side".
The bottom line is I take a great deal of professional pride in what we did. Precisely because we actually didn't ruin the First Amendment. No outlet is prevented from doing real journalism as a result of the Bollea v. Gawker case. We simply enforced a long existing norm.
This is an excellent list. Pure signal.
1/ Follow Friday, a thread 🧵 Here's a series of short (but scientifically accurate) profiles on some of the guys whom, if you're not following, you're NGMI. Let's go...
This is a master class in missing the point. And I think the key issue is that David views everything through a political and legal lens and rather than a faith lens. What is his limiting principle here? Should Chip and Joanna also feature polyamory as a normal choice in their…
Think of the sense of entitlement here. On one hand, evangelicals say, “How dare you discriminate against us in the workplace,” and then turn around and tell a fellow evangelical couple, “You’re betraying us unless you discriminate against gay men at your job.”…
The correct metaphor is "poop in the brownie mix." I'd prefer none, thank you.
Pretty sure it already is. If you aren't actively passing, you are legally obligated to be in the right lane.
yay or nay...
Short hair on women is almost as ugly as dying it purple. Almost.
If you’re a girl and another girl tells you to cut your hair short she hates you btw
Yes. I’ve refused to use BCE from the very start.
BCE and CE are highly subversive Don’t trust anyone using the new speak
New Christmas list just dropped
We are excited to share this raw flight footage including take-off and landing, all with real sound. No special effects, no CGI, no AI, pure engineering. Enjoy the future! A fully functional real-world "speeder bike" that so far only existed in sci-fi movies is finally here.
This is an incredibly fascinating sociological phenomenon
The taboos around WW2 and Hitler required a particular population and culture to maintain When I worked as a public school teacher in a majority minority school the black and hispanic kids would yell "white power" in the hallways because they knew it was transgressive and that…
Without reading, there’s a 100% chance this take will be garbage, because everything churned out these days by David French is sewage.
If Christians want the freedom to participate in the American marketplace without facing reprisals for their beliefs about God’s design for the family, shouldn’t they extend that same courtesy to those who disagree? Read @DavidAFrench's take here: nytimes.com/2025/07/24/opi…
