Clickbait has saturated the market. Cheap drive-by discourse is a dime a dozen. People are weary of autoplay nonsense and being yelled at by the Internet. That stock is falling. What stock is rising? Thoughtfulness. Paragraphs. Fresh insight. Very soon attention farming will be seen the way ad banks are today. I truly believe this.

You're right to push back on that. The unexamined life *can* be worth living. Here's why it's probably right for you

The problem is that “well-behaved teenager” and “raging nerd” are very overlapping categories and these guys don’t want intellectual wives

One memory I have from childhood is cramming the whole family into our small living room to watch Regis on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." Shared, "event" media symbolized an era that the Internet unmade, as @aaron_renn gets at here. aaronrenn.com/p/colbert-comm…

Politics and technology are two areas where taking Christianity seriously will put you at a disadvantage relative to unbelievers. The important thing is being OK with this. digitalliturgies.net/p/the-twin-fal…

@griffingulledge It looks just like the films. I don't understand why this exists at all.

A jury has found that Meta and YouTube are both liable for damages for the addictive designs of their products. If it's upheld, this could be a major landmark. nytimes.com/2026/03/25/tec…

Deep at the heart of the Jewish self-understanding is a belief that absolutely no one is coming to save the Jews except the Jews. Christians recognize the tragedy that God already did. I wrote about Bibi Netanyahu, Genghis Khan, and Jesus. wng.org/opinions/bibi-…

@Byzness Strange. The other replies seem to know exactly what I'm talking about.

@Digitalliturgy This is like a subtweet within a subtweet. It’s obscure to the point of being inscrutable. I know you don’t like naming who you’re talking about but at some you have to make concessions to the reader.

Unpleasant reality: Currently there is a contingent of Very Online men trying to reconcile their sexual addictions with their attraction to "based" Christianity by selling a weird Islam-meets-Reddit patriarchialism. These men are best ignored, but they are benefiting enormously from the reactionary, anti-"Big Eva" rhetoric that men who know better have been using the last 5 years in the service of their own evangelical turf war. Now, some smart, sincere, genuinely Christian men are in the position of having to care for their own brand by taking seriously the voices of those other addicted, resentful, deeply deceived men.

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer. The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions. But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all. My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body. It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize. A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache. A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy. What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

Insane that for four years, the intelligence community in this country believed women like my wife were terroristic threats, and that men who believe they are women were safe and trustworthy.
