Okay, so, it’s true that since Roe was handed down, a bunch of things happened. The divorce rate went up, marriage rates went down, birth rates declined (obviously), &c, &c. Some of this is intuitive of course, though I sure would like to see the evidentiary connection between Roe and…

I don’t know why I write about this kind of stuff, I think if there was any way my opinion could have any influence on anything, I’d probably have influenced someone by now. Maybe I just want to set it down, so it’s written somewhere. Maybe one day in the…

Ben Shapiro says that the “Don’t Say Gay Bill” in Florida isn’t about prohibiting kids from being gay, it’s about giving parents the power to keep their kids from learning about Sexual Ideology — (and if you’ll forgive a brief aside, I’m sorry but I can’t read that without hearing…

To me, it is fairly obviously that the president is nakedly corrupt, a wanton criminal, a steaming heaping pile of fucking garbage who Congress at the very least ought to LOOK INTO CONSIDERING MAYBE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED. Yes, I know that the Senate won’t convict because the Republican party is…

Okay, hear me out. Just…just go with me here for a second. The Lord of Light is described as a god, right, but IS he a god? Has he demonstrated characteristics like omniscience, omnipotence, benevolence, etc.? I would say…not conclusively. Sure, it seems like he knew what was going to…
