🚨NEW: The Trump assassination attempt. The murder of Charlie Kirk. The ICE shooting in Dallas. All have links—direct or indirect—to the furry fandom. For @RealLastStand, a longtime insider explains how parts of the community evolved from a creative hobbyist culture into an insular online ecosystem where extreme ideologies and apocalyptic politics can take hold. It's a fascinating look inside a world most people barely understand. Link below. 🔗realityslaststand.com/p/im-a-furry-m…

American Thought Leaders 🇺🇸 with @JanJekielek
There’s a growing feminization of society, says developmental psychologist @JDHaltigan, and it’s having major unseen effects. He defines the basic difference between males and females as “systemize versus empathize.” Males, he says, “tend to systemize more,” while women “tend to be more empathetic.” Over the last few decades, he says, this feminine empathy has been weaponized wholesale. At the same time, masculine traits and the enforcement of laws and standards has been demonized.

@cremieuxrecueil I had a very romanticized view of scientists and other academics until I went to graduate school. Lots of irrationality, but it's even more entrenched because they have a much higher opinion of themselves.

I am often shocked by how many seemingly rational academics believe strange, false assertions if they come from places of perceived authority. I don't know many of those people who would actually suggest just believing any odd thing they say just because of their authority.

So ya wanna be a homeowner? Our home is <10 years old. The sewer line disconnected from the foundation & caused a 35 foot “belly.” AKA the toilets won’t flush anymore, because gravity. Insurance nor warranty will cover it. Cheapest quote was $25k. Tons of digging. Thankfully the builder is being a bro and covering half of it. Still in favor of owning, but the costs add up!

@benryanwriter The "gender identity" finding is just hitchhiking on the "gendered behavior" result. Very confounded.

New systematic review of twin studies examines the origins of gender identity The authors found evidence in the 16 reviewed studies for both genetic and environmental contributions to gender identity. But the heritability rates were all over the map, with no clear magnitude, sex differences, or consistent effects related to prenatal hormones. "Given the variability in results and methodology between studies, the true magnitude of these contributions remains unclear. No consistent differences in contributions were identified between assigned males and assigned females. While there is also recent evidence that prenatal hormone exposure may contribute to gender identity, the overall evidence from the literature is inconsistent. Twin studies indicate both genetic and environmental contributions to gender diversity. These results are important to inform ongoing public debate in this area and highlight the complex interplay of both genetics and environment."

I was invited to review an @OxUniPress book on gender identity for Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews. You’ll never guess what happened next. 👇

ICYMI: MI's @tal_fortgang on today’s “civil terrorists” on the @CityJournal Podcast: “It’s a broad way of describing a common thread: these are people who cast Americans and the U.S. government as villains in whatever they do.”

My latest article is about a big undertaking: I opened up a huge cohort study of data for the public to use, and I went and performed a bunch of neat analyses in it to show it off! 🧵

Joe Kent, before you appeared on your buddy Qatarlson’s Iranian regime propaganda cast I asked publicly for you to come on my radio show for a one hour interview.  You publicly replied “Sure, let’s go.”  My producer reached out to you to follow up. You didn’t and haven’t replied.  So many questions. The offer stands, Joe.

Calling people out for making extreme claims without any compelling evidence is not "trying to scare people into silence." It's actually inviting them to say more in order to fully justify their claim. They pretend they're being silenced because they have nothing else to say.

@JonathanPe71764 @SkyNewsAust I agree. I love Sagan, but he wasn't justified in claiming aliens probably exist. We can at most say that aliens are possible.

@SwipeWright Carl Sagan asserted possibility of aliens. Then he concluded-because infinity is Really Certainly Big-aliens probably exist-they must exist & be "better". He was too stupid to know how stupid he was. (especially having written about imaginary Dragons in his garage) @SkyNewsAust

@QuestionPDX My "call outs" have been asking for evidence. It's only when they fail to provide that evidence do I claim they aren't worth listening to.

@SwipeWright When "calling people out" consists of ad hominem suggestions that they aren't worth listening to, doesn't that absolve oneself of having to say more to justify one's own claim.

Do you want to permanently get rid of all forms of DEI/affirmative action/etc - and support pure meritocracy in hiring, admissions, and sentencing? If so, check out the unifiedsolutionsamerica.com website RIGHT NOW! But, mini-plug aside, I am curious. What say you?

The City of LA doing what they do best... The fire next to our building from homeless on March 8th caused serious damage to our property, and that was not bad enough apparently. Two days later, LA Housing Department was there demanding that we remediate the damaged units we have. Then the Health Department started sending notice after notice after phone calls threatening fines if we do not get the issues fixed right away. Can I at least get an insurance adjuster out first? To get this straight: - The City does nothing about the countless calls by neighbors about the homeless trespassers cooking meth in a vacant house - The homeless catch the place on fire, which damaged our building - The unimaginable happens for an amazing family by losing their home and three of their dogs died in the fire - Now somehow we are the ones getting harassed and threatened with fines? But hey, at least LA gave $177M for lawyers to help tenants sue their landlords. @spencerpratt clean house! We need it!

@DLoesch @BridgetPhetasy I relate to the, "Here are my principles, my audience is what it is" approach. I am not going to fundamentally change who I am in pursuit of marketshare. At most, I will pursue strategies to reach more people who share my principles and find my work useful.

@captmo9 @TheMilkBarTV We actually have a lot of evidence he was killed by a leftist angered by supposed transphobia. In fact, every bit of evidence we have directly supports that conclusion.

Let’s get this straight: it’s SUSPICIOUS that Charlie Kirk opposed war with Iran and was then killed - but we’re supposed to ignore the fact that he had been publicly warning for years, right up until his death, about the direct threats he was receiving from leftist transtifa and the alarming rise in an assassination culture he saw spreading from that group? You know, the same group that the very suspect the mountain of evidence points to was part of. But I’m sure that’s all part of the conspiracy too, right? People who buy into this conspiracy nonsense aren't living in the real world and should resign or be removed from positions of significant power in government.
