Before Moms for Liberty.

Before DeSantis ran for governor.

Before CRT became the latest racist GOP dog whistle.

Before all of that, some real Moms in Tennessee—Moms who aren't vicious, dark-money-funded political operatives like #M4L—understood the way the winds were blowing.

Please read and share my new interview with Chattanooga Moms for Social Justice Taylor Lyons to learn what it's like fighting the good fight within a true grassroots organization.

Since 2017, Moms for Social Justice has been fighting the good fight for equality and social justice. No wonder Moms for Liberty hate them

If you’re a #ProtonMail user residing in the United States, then make sure to opt-out of the new arbitration provisions.

If you don’t opt-out, you can still turn to Swiss courts, but you would have to go through arbitration for any disputes brought and found to have jurisdiction in the US.

Opt-out through written notice to their Swiss address below within 30 days.

@MichaelTBacon @pluralistic Nothing says “be grateful for your tablescraps, peasant” like shitty swag.

In case you missed it last week, I've got a brand new novel coming out this October and you can preorder it right the heck now. ALL SOULS LOST is a spooky funny supernatural detective story. You're gonna like it, trust me. https://dmoren.com/all-souls-lost/

(Selling books in this era of increasingly siloed social media is tough, so thanks to everyone for sharing this far and wide. This is a new genre for me, and I'm psyched for you to read it.)

"The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.

If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it."

Attached: 1 image The philosopher Karl Popper published what came to be known as the Paradox of Tolerance in his book "The Open Society and Its Enemies" in 1945. It dealt with the question of how a society that promotes tolerance is to deal with those who are intolerant. #Paradox #philosophy

I asked ChatGPT about primes ending in 2 to make it prove a point and it proved the point far better than I could have hoped for.

Please do not be a fool who trusts ChatGPT with anything outside your field of expertise, and even then double or triple check what it tells you if you must use it.
