Hey, if you know someone who studies beliefs about conspiracy theories, maybe check in on them and see how they're doing. Make sure they're not drinking alone at least.
Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark sent a tip to the FBI accusing Trump of authorizing his murder:
“I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Present Trump authorized is murder.“
“I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Present Trump authorized is murder.“

I've generally enjoyed the show so far, but the newest episode of Starfleet Academy is extremely good and you should watch it and feel things.

I will not read a piece by Ross, even if he takes a loss. I will not read it while in bed, I will not read it in the head. I will not read this shitty man, I refuse to suffer Sam-I-Am.

Holy fuck this video is simultaneously worse, funnier, and dumber than I could have possibly imagined.
Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.
6 years old.
She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

Intellectual humility doesn’t require us to be open to absolutely anything being true | Aaron Rabinowitz
It is right to have epistemic humility, and awareness of the limits of our knowledge - but that doesn't mean we need to be open to absolutely every possibility.

Aristotle, undefeated! (except for all the bigotry)
Thanks for this essay. One of the better things I’ve read in a while. I think we recently discussed Street Epistemology here. I like your Aristotelian golden mean approach to intellectual humility.

I wrote a piece on intellectual humility and why it can be a problem to focus too much on attacking certainty rather than knowing when it is okay to be very confident about claims. I look specifically at problems in movement atheism and skepticism. Enjoy!

For some reason my brain thinks reaping should come before sowing. So whenever I reference the ancient texts I’m like “me reaping vs. me sowing”. I dunno if it’s the first letters or what, but it’s funny to me every time.

Cooperative Baldur’s Gate 3 with @etvpod.bsky.social is turning out to be one of the greatest video gaming experiences of my life. A really exceptional, thoroughly realized vision of DnD as a video game that lends itself to cooperative, creative problem solving.

Another irony here is nobody is more committed to the stereotype of Jewish intellectual supremacy than far right race realists. Conniving Jews is the keystone to their theory of why they seem to be “losing” to “lesser races”.
Sam H retweeting BJG on "Jewish supremacism" is a perfect encapsulation of how building one's entire identity around hating liberals can lead one shooting around that old horseshoe.
Yeah that’s not really the story though but nice try

Truly everyone involved in orchestrating the anti-woke moral panic is brick dumb and always has been. Nothing says bigotry of low expectations like modern conservatism.
always struck whenever i read anything from rufo how it is absolutely clear that he is a dumbass
I don’t know what I expected when I saw that Chris Rufo was taking on the “fascism canard” but lol

I regret to inform you that everything continues to be Warhammer 40k.
i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.
disturbingly plausible

The GOP will allow all this and more for fear Trump will shit talk them on truth social. That’s the horrible truth of the next three years.
the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

This tweet has aged beautifully given that Lindsay’s website and anti-woke work in general has been built and bankrolled by the White Christian Nationalist Michael O’Fallon of Sovereign Nations. Pretty sure Jimmy is fine with Christian Nationalists at the table.
6/ Here’s that Russ Vought tweet. bsky.app/profile/jenn...
Trump has tapped Project 2025 leader Russ Vought to lead the Office of Budget & Management, which is the “nerve center of the federal gov” (per Vought). Last year, Vought tweeted that he was “proud to work w/ William Wolfe to scope out a sound Christian Nationalism.” 1/

Wild how dudes who ran on stoking violent racialized pogroms are now enacting violent racial pogroms.
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Live your life in such a way that multiple people message you to let you know the new GoT spinoff has some next level dong hanging happening. Remember the golden rule: if you’ve got boobs boobing boobily you also need to have dongs donging dongily. That’s just ethics of art 101.
