IMPORTANT UPDATE: I finally discovered that, after pasting short’s URL, all you have to do is change the word “shorts” in the URL to the letter “v“!

I also put this tip in the TIPS group, so if youtube ever changes how this trick works, please let me know and I will update how this tip can or can’t be made to work properly.

I think that progressive values have a momentum of their own, especially with the young.  The human race has a doctrine of helping the needy and vuln…[Read more]

The problem in colleges isn’t indoctrination. It’s a lack of ideological diversity.

The right seems to be on a mission to expose universities as centers of leftist indoctrination. Too often we professors waved away the charge. We called these assertions naive at best, Trumpy at worst. Students, we rightly noted, are…

It sounds plausible, even scientific, but it doesn’t predict, measure, or model anything.

But surely the behaviour of flocks of birds – organisation – emerges from the behaviour of single birds, following a few simple behavioural rules, and the organised behaviour of ant colonies emerge from ants, which have a l…[Read more]

The “cafeteria Christian” picks and chooses what to believe. The problem is that there is actual scripture.

The problem is, there’s “something for everyone” in the scripture.  God is both vengeful and merciful.  Now, in real life, that is what is required to enforce proper behaviour.  It’s just that some people love the “venge…[Read more]

Bondi managed to get through her hearing without answering any substantive question, the list being detailed by Adam Schiff:

These combative non-answers remind me of a taught and practiced, primary tactic of LRH’s (inventor of Scientology), when cult members argue with wogs (non cult members): “The best defense is an…[Read more]

One embodies an irrational belief with no need to support it in any way

Over 1,700 cases of measles diagnosed in Israel

That’s close to what USA has had, and I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten more out of hand. Maybe it’ll pick up again. (Y’all heard Kennedy now blaming autism on Tylenol, linked directly to it being taken right after circumcisions, right?)

Biggest surprise to me, since Kennedy…[Read more]

I thought I could finally catch up on sleep and relax a bit, but ran into this Legal AF video explaining how the SCOTUS partisan takeover has been in the cards for decades. It’s all believable to me, but I’ve never been a competent student of history, so I’m interested in any criticisms of what’s presented in this video. It feels like…[Read more]

Awesome medical research, triage, and treatment news in the JP article. Extremely significant, IMO. I’ll bet lots of non-Israelis get chances to appreciate it, too. Like… almost every country in the world. If only Trump would just try it out and show us a scan asap, for…[Read more]
