When Dean Withers got surprised by someone asking him point blank why pedophilia is wrong I knew I wanted to tell the world why. So I asked @fixinyouruglies.bsky.social to help and we made Ep 123 of Truth Unrestricted! Why Pedophilia Is Wrong.

This is a excellent podcast with @doubtisthewayout.bsky.social and @spencerwatson.bsky.social . I had a lot of thoughts about it, which I wouldn’t bother to share, but it’s a great listen. ( this is part 2 ) both parts are great.

It's been more than a year since my previous episode dedicated to the shooting in Butler, PA. So when I saw the opportunity to have @scorpionthebird.bsky.social and @quoracthebard.bsky.social on the podcast to discuss it, I jumped at the chance. Ep 212 of Truth Unrestricted (link to follow).

This is going to divide the internet yet again. One side will proclaim that it’s just one more joyous thing she has given the world and the other will add it to the list of grievous wounds on her ledger. This is how tribes are built.

BTW, it really does appear that Tori Amos created the first known pumpkin spice latte.

(Not a joke!)
That's notable! She doesn't call it a "pumpkin spice latte" specifically, but it's all so close. Piecing the quote together with what we know about pumpkin pie spice and how it was used, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. The skeptic in me thinks this can't possibly be true, but the researcher in me actually feels fairly confident in saying this: it sure looks like Tori Amos created the first known pumpkin spice latte.

Everyone who says I shouldn’t criticize Jim Stewartson because I’m “causing division on the left” needs to explain to me why they’re okay with Stewartson causing division on the left. He causes the division. I’m trying to remove the cause of the division.

There is a massive escalation going on in DC and it is going to be coming to every blue city and state in due time. It is very clear that the goal now for ice is not just the terror of disappearing Americans and harassing them, but that they want to fight Americans in the streets using deadly force

Video of a scary scene in Adams Morgan last night is making the rounds on DC listservs.

The feds (presumably ICE) seemed to be making immigration/traffic stops. When protesters started shouting, one pointed his Taser at them until other protesters tried to deescalate things...

Violence is not the answer to our political situation. Showing restraint in the face of belligerence and insult is the best way to prevent the manipulations and machinations of fascists.

Some people believe that violence is an expression of strength. This isn’t true. Violence is what happens when you don’t have the strength for #Restraint

There is currently no socio-political issue in the US that requires or justifies violence.

What would the world look like if the creator of this video *somehow* got what they claim they want here? The only way to *really* make this happen (absent the racial purity angle) is a rejection of technology. That’s *not* going to happen. Obviously.

Everyone who was wrong about Trump — please say so openly to those who trust you and follow you. You have influence and thus bear responsibility.

The light is awful when thunderstorms roll in—except on a Costa’s hummingbird. That’s when his gorget feathers turn electric.

A series of four photos of a male Costa’s hummingbird perched on a green stem. His throat and crown shimmer with iridescent violet and magenta feathers, glowing differently as he turns his head. The rest of his plumage is olive-brown on the back with a pale gray chest and belly. In each frame, he shifts position—facing forward, sideways, and slightly down—revealing how the light transforms the brilliance of his gorget feathers against a blurred green background.

Is this the crowd you want to encourage? An immediately frenetic and enthusiastically unthinking horde that lashes out as a reflex? You make yourself out to be a thought leader. These are the people who are following your thought leadership. Choosing mockery over thoughtful argument.

One thing to remember about politicians, whether Gavin Newsome, Bernie Sanders, or any other, which is that they're instruments for devising, enacting, and putting policies into action. None of 'em are the Second Coming, nor even the First. So, please keep that in mind, and there we are with that.

Jim Stewartson is slowly warping the minds of people on the left. His rhetoric is a simplistic mirror of his opponent, Mike Flynn. I talk with danzbyrd21 to shine a light on that process in ep 118 of Truth Unrestricted.

Bill Cosby's fall from fame represents a complete change of our collective view of him. An inversion of our shared reality. How should we look at people who once attempted to associate themselves with his image? In this episode, @notbadgers.bsky.social joins me to discuss an edge case.

I sincerely hope that everyone listens to this episode. It is my hope that this becomes a new standard for critical rebuttal in social media. Ep 116 of Truth Unrestricted is called Dr Nice's Identity Politics.

Is the US at war with Iran? Should anyone believe anything Trump says? How will the Iranian response affect world markets? Are we slow walking past mere nuclear brinksmanship? @pokerpolitics.bsky.social joins me for ep 115 of Truth Unrestricted to make sense of Operation Midnight Hammer.

Happy 4th birthday to my book on the origin and spread of QAnon, THE STORM IS UPON US. Given that multiple Trump cabinet members have supported Q, and Trump himself regularly shares QAnon memes, the book continues to be incredibly relevant.

The Throne Speech is usually not newsworthy. Until the response to it is a direct shot across the bow from the heart of Alberta Separatism. We also discuss deficit spending and the economic sleight of hand of Mark Carney.
Ep 114 of Truth Unrestricted is about Canadian stuff!
