People love saying all media is propaganda, but that flattens a much more human process. Even outlets aiming for fairness still make choices about what to include or cut. Bias isn’t always intentional. Sometimes it’s just the shape of storytelling.

Today's post digs into definitions. Creationist arguments often rely on made‑up meanings: ‘evolution means a dog turning into a cat.’ Never accept their definitions. Ask where they got them. Watch the scaffolding wobble. www.facebook.com/share/p/1K9H...

María Corina Machado offering her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump isn’t admiration. It’s a last attempt to shield Venezuelans from a leader who turned her award into a personal grievance. She is trying to calm a situation shaped more by ego than by any concern for Venezuela’s future.

Minnesota’s move is being misread. After an ICE officer killed a woman in Minneapolis, the governor issued a warning order to the Guard so the state could manage its own response. At the same time he rejected a federal enforcement surge, signaling a clear boundary around state authority.

Next up: the explanation trap. Critical thinkers love explaining things, but in these debates, every explanation becomes a new target. The move isn’t to teach thermodynamics. It’s to ask them to define the terms they’re using.

What stands out is how obedience language in modern Christianity sounds more like empire than Jesus. The Sermon on the Mount calls people to inner change and ethical independence. Scholars like Crossan and Mack show the earliest Jesus tradition was a wisdom movement, not a loyalty system.

Day 2 drops now. We’re talking about the classic trap: taking on the burden of proof for someone else’s claim. If they say ‘no transitional fossils,’ don’t start listing fossils. Ask why their claim has no support. Hold the weight where it belongs. www.facebook.com/share/p/1Juo...

Today I’m kicking off a short series on why debates with creationists go sideways. Spoiler: facts don’t fail because they’re weak. They fail because they’re hitting identity, not reasoning. If you’ve ever watched evidence evaporate on contact, this one’s for you.

The Heritage Foundation was created to elevate conservative ideas, but it looks like it helped hollow them out. Instead of strengthening conservatism, it fed the rise of grievance politics that now defines much of the Republican and MAGA world.

Most people are surprised to learn early Israelites did not picture Yahweh alone. For centuries he had a partner named Asherah, a major Levantine goddess linked to protection, fertility, and sacred trees. She was central enough that traces of her survive in texts and artifacts.

Some politicians talk about the future like they’re hoping it falls apart. That’s because a chunk of American evangelical culture sees global chaos as a sign of the “end times.” When that worldview enters public office, policy stops solving problems and starts aligning with prophecy.

People love to treat Adam Smith like the mascot of deregulation. But Smith spent a lot of time warning about concentrated wealth, corporate collusion, and laws tilted toward the rich. This week, one quote a day that libertarians never mention.

"Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all." - Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Book V, Chapter I.

Most people don’t realize how much modern presidential power traces back to Jan 4, 1965. When LBJ delivered the first prime‑time State of the Union, he turned a quiet constitutional duty into a national moment of public accountability. It changed how presidents speak to the country.

Many missed this: Trump announced a “large‑scale strike” on Venezuela, with Maduro and his wife captured and flown out. Multiple sites were hit overnight. This was a full U.S. military operation, not a covert action.

We’re in a moment where certain words can’t be spoken aloud because moderation systems treat them as dangerous. The censorship itself reveals more about our world than the words do. There are benefits, a safety‑first filter that shields people from harassment.

New dysthymia research pointing to altered glutamate receptor density is wild. It finally gives biochemical weight to why persistent low mood isn’t just “personality.” But it also opens a bigger question: if down‑regulation shapes dysthymia, what lives at the opposite end?

Back in the 2000s, Dr. Mary Schweitzer stunned paleontology by finding T. rex soft‑tissue structures, flexible vessels stabilized by iron, not “fresh meat.” It cracked open the idea that deep‑time preservation is way stranger than we assumed and pushed researchers to rethink fossil chemistry.

People swear Americans are “crushed by taxes,” but the math is boringly normal. Add federal, state, and local together and most folks land around 25 to 28 percent total. Even the so‑called “tax hell” states barely hit 30 to 33 percent. That’s not oppression. That’s basic arithmetic.

Homeopathy is basically sympathetic magic with better branding. It runs on “like affects like,” the same logic as using a doll to influence someone. In D&D terms, it’s Transmutation pretending to be medicine, fun in fiction, weird in real life.

Amazon didn’t just launch Buy for Me as a convenience tool. It quietly turned it into a way to scrape small‑business storefronts and fold their work into Amazon’s system. That isn’t modernization. It’s identity capture dressed up as helpful tech.

Accumulation of wealth is like drinking salt water...
The more you drink the more you want, until it destroys your body through dehydration.
Wealth does the same thing to your mind and empathy, destroying your humanity through greed.

The Qur’an reflects the world in which it was written. Seventh‑century Arabia was shaped by tribal hierarchy, patriarchy, slavery, concubinage, and strict social roles. These norms shaped the text, and later generations had to reinterpret it as society changed.
