Admittedly, I’ve never operated a meth lab, but I don’t think you make it with *check notes* dog treats, Splenda, and Tylenol.

There are several flaws in the centuries-old idea that colder climates caused people (primarily just Europeans) to become smarter than basically everyone else, but even a layperson can see one of the biggest: the idea that no environmental pressures compare to cold winters

To me, the core truth of the cold winters theory is this: humans in places where temperatures get lethally cold all die, 100%, unless they figure out ways to stay warm. There’s no other comparably ruthless environmental demand.

I wonder what the first person to discover silk and then learn how to make it on-demand must have been like. Just throwing a bunch of worms into some boiling water and unraveling them? That’s wild.

@caitlinmoriah I remember the young lady that uploaded herself saying the n-word, and a college decided to withdraw their offer to her. That was called cancel culture by signatories of the Harper's Letter. Interesting how flexible the term is. Almost seems to always align with their politics.

Wow the layoffs last night included a ton of surprises. Hardcore Musk loyalists (more on that soon…) and the founder of the newsletter platform Revue that Twitter acquired in 2021.

"Cancel culture" continues to be nothing but a complaint that the "wrong" people are being listened to when it comes to labeling an action as unacceptable.

this is my biggest "right-wing media is a different reality" moment bc I fret abt about how the Ukraine war is a hyper-mediated spectator event. normie accounts like DemocratDadinOhio tweeting "another vatnik demilitarized 💪🤣" on a vid of an 18 yr old dying alone in the cold.

The very prestigious writers who couldn’t help indulging in moral panic stories about the banh mi Maoists on private college campuses were specifically warned, over and over, that they were feeding the worst forces in society. They forged ahead anyway. And now look

It’s a bitter historical irony that this reactionary tidal wave, which is obliterating freedom of thought in Florida campuses in favor of Orban-esque indoctrination on the glories of the West, was very specifically started by centrists scolding liberals over “college free speech”

As outlined in the release, the bill would ban diversity statements, make tenure and faculty hiring committees meaningless, and centralize control of core curricula and mission statements in the hands of political appointees. Unexpectedly, it would also ban gender studies majors.

1. So, I recently took a trip out to North Idaho. I was tracking down rumors about Christian nationalism(s) rising in the region. But I wasn't prepared for just how *big* it'd become, how powerful it is in the state, and how it may impact the future GOP. religionnews.com/2023/02/22/how…
