"Even the average red-blooded flag-waving Fox News viewer knows that this is Israel’s war, that Iran posed no threat to Americans, and that all of our lives are about to get worse because of it. “Go die in a desert because Zionists paid a pedophile to start an unnecessary war” isn’t exactly the stuff of Patton. Why not tell the poor saps that they’re going on a Holy crusade to put down the infidels and hasten the return of Jesus Christ?"

After Cristina Rad’s accusations about #LawrenceKrauss I was happy to reject him for good even though I'd enjoyed his debates on religion.

But I never knew what to do with #RichardDawkins. Certainly people I respected in turn respected him, his work seemed quite perceptive, and his debates with theists were incisive and civil.

But he also behaved in ways I found bizarre, and I was left just appreciating his good work but not amplifying him in any way because I didn’t know who I would have been amplifying.

Now I do.

Epstein Files Reveal How Pathetic Richard Dawkins & Other Men Are

Transcript: Well, it happened again. I’m mentioned in the Epstein files. Again. You probably saw my first video on this topic and you came away thinking that I’ve spent the past decade being as awe…

Australia's Social Media Ban is a Win for Gambling Companies

Perfect example of the thing that @pluralistic keeps saying, that we've created a system with monster-shaped slots in it & until we change that, monsters will keep popping themselves into those slots, from whence they will make everything worse for everyone, up to & including driving children to suicide...

@rebeccawatson is right; we have to fight these monsters with as much force as it takes.

NGL: the ending of Rebecca Watson's video on a study that shows ChatGPT is bad for your brain had a banger ending.

The only solution, the only real way to solve this problem, that's right, fully automated gay luxury space communism

Personally we'd prefer queer, GNC, polyam / ambiam, universal planet socialism, but cannot fault the silly humour behind this 🩷

Yes, I know it's YT. Yes, it might end up being taken down for whatever reason (doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure out why) No idea if @rebeccawatson has posted this on fedi or not. (edit: she has)

Even so, it is GREAT info to help contend with the coming events of this weekend. We'll worth the nine minute run time.

Be safe out there. #nokings #skepchick #teargas
