small point of clarity - religiously unaffiliated is not the same as agnosticism/atheism. while it does include those categories, it also includes people who don't subscribe to any major religions and have their own spiritual or religious beliefs. good example this piece cites is santa muerte
The U.S. is undergoing its fastest religious shift in modern history, marked by a rapid increase in the religiously unaffiliated and numerous church closures nationwide.
The great unchurching of America
A seismic shift in religion is upon U.S.

January was the month that my platform went viral and exploded in size. I published articles from @rozmilner.bsky.social and @nobleheroine.bsky.social, as well as my first Top Ten retrospective article, which I'm hoping to make a yearly tradition.

This happened to a trans person. I need cis people to check themselves.
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

We have a big problem: the media and punditry are overrun by people who are driven almost entirely by a desire to appear "openminded" and "contrarian." In order to burnish that image, they seek out conservative takes to endorse, carefully choosing ones that don't seem too MAGA (and thus gauche).
This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.
Congratulations to Stephen Macedo & Frances Lee, whose book In Covid's Wake has been recognized as:

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

hey there's some real fucked up shit coming out in the epstein stuff today so you might want to shore up your mutes. infanticide is a theme, you might just want to throw a bunch of keywords about babies into your filters if that's bad for you to read about, which would be completely understandable

Big accounts on LinkedIn will post shit like "I would not get the Severance procedure. It's not for ethical reasons, but for career development!
1. Missed networking opportunities.
2. I would lose out on the exciting corporate culture at Lumon
3. Time away from work is the boring part of life!"

"Great writing can't be taught."
Total bullshit. Writing is just as much of a teachable and learnable skill as playing an instrument or acting or painting. You don't have to have any prodigy to write a great book - just a strong work ethic, years of practice, and a willingness to innovate.
