please offset your impact on factory-farmed animals—their living conditions are nothing short of torture.

Being trans gives you a very dark window from which to look out at humanity, where even something supposedly sacred and inviolable like the love of parents for their children turns out to be deeply contingent and subject to whims

Vegan Burgers Just Beat Beef in Germany’s Most Respected Consumer Test
https://t.co/JfJiEZyxow

“The three top-scoring burgers came from Aldi MyVay, Garden Gourmet, and Beyond — and they were all vegan.”

[Maya Luna (NYC arc ✈️) @envisionedluna]

"I know factory farming is evil but meat is just so yummy" is one of the most NPC takes a person can have

[citrit @Citrit_]

@DoviPfeiffer yes, but the explanatory order goes from objective morality to God, not vice versa. hence his morality is independent of theism

Ever heard of Derek Parfit, G. E. Moore, William David Ross, Christine Korsgaard, Thomas Scanlon, Peter Railton, Michael Huemer, Philippa Foot, David Enoch, Russ Shafer-Landau, Plato, Immanuel Kant, or Thomas Nagel?

Signs that your partner truly loves you:

1. Considers your well-being from the point of view of the Universe

2. Counts your well-being for one and never for more than one

2. Always adopts the attitude of an impartial, benevolent spectator.

Food free of animal cruelty is slowly being normalised. We're making progress.

[Marina Bolotnikova @mbolotnikova]

Normal people are really viscerally horrified by the sight of gestation crates, it's got me thinking about other factory farm standard practices where this principle ought to be applied

Please increase the price of food by $.25/lb and reduce torture for the sake of pigs.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

I recently wrote about the effort to end the torture of pigs. On Thursday, @Dwarkesh_sp, @AvitalBalwit, and @NanRansohoff are hosting an in-person party for folks in the Bay Area to support the effort!

Eating meat forces abuse and death on animals.

[citrit @Citrit_]

@AbakpaJob expecting someone else to violate their moral commitments for your palate is crazy. imagine someone expecting you to serve dog meat.

[citrit @Citrit_]

@AbakpaJob would you force a Jewish person to provide non-kosher options? a Muslim person to provide non-halal options?

[JoeI @whitefeelimgs]

Defensive meat eaters are significantly more annoying than vegans now. No contest

[Andy Masley @AndyMasley]

Animal welfare often gets talked about as if it's wishy washy, but saying about how I think pigs shouldn't be tortured always feels like I'm the one with my feet on the ground and it's other people building these mental castles in the sky about the imagined natural order

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

The way we torture pigs is a sin. We can afford to pay a little more for one kind of food in order to not torture hundreds of millions of these poor animals.

How do atheists explain the fact that Jesus spoke, not like the Scribes and Pharisees, but as one possessing authority?

[florence 🦐🏳️‍🌈 @morallawwithin]

“thinking about what you eat” and “having a balanced diet” are peak rationalist midwittery. your taste buds & hunger signals were optimized over eons to get you what you need, so you should just eat whatever you feel like. you’re not smarter than millions of years of evolution.
