Depictions of redheads are often very negative. Here's a good example from the German government's attempt to prevent groping in public pools.👩🦰
So happy to have received my copy of "The War on Science" -- and, I'm incredibly honored to have a chapter in this tome. Thank you @LKrauss1 for asking me to contribute a chapter! amazon.com/War-Science-Th…

Some Australian cultures believed a person’s soul left their body during sleep and that the same thing happened at death. Which is why they feared corpses and often tied up the bodies: just in case the spirit came back
"They die every day"
The "Knowledge Keepers" have no idea that a swimming pool was once right in front of the school. No child was ever reported drowned so they can't now say children were drowned by sadistic nuns. All GPR found was the buried foundations of it and the plumbing system.
This person’s alleged fun fact is actually false in every respect, as I explained here thedispatch.com/article/of-cou… and will elaborate upon in my forthcoming book.
Fun fact: The Declaration of Independence carries no legal weight in any court in the USA. It's literally *not* a legal document. Only the Constitution itself counts in court, and even then rogue, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior district court justices will ignore it.
From a Dean to his faculty at McGill U.. Can it get much dumber? Sent to me by a faculty member there who was incredulous. The kind of nonsense pervades university administrations as we discuss in The War on Science, available July 29th.

Another sad day at another museum. This time at the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum, and it involves shrunken heads and cannibals. A 🧵 1/6
I also noticed that some human bones, the remnants of a cannibal meal, that were gifted to Vanderbilt from the Society Islands, and were on display, are also gone. 5/6
One of the more interesting exhibits on display was that of two shrunken heads from Peru. Since 1950, the public had been able to view these interesting, albeit macabre trophies, giving people a glimpse into the practices of a native Peruvian tribe. Unfortunately, due to…
💯💯💯💯 I just posted a thread on my absolutely terrible day today at the Vanderbilt Museum in NY, where once popular and fascinating exhibits that have been on display for over 50 years have be disappeared never to be seen again.
