It used to be considered reasonable to listen & try to understand both sides of an argument. But now, if opposing extremists are screaming at each other & you don’t agree 100% with either, you’re considered the enemy of both. It’s why many people are afraid to contribute at all.

The biggest twist in GoT by the writers this season is the audience's slow realization that the show was killed off 4 episodes ago. #GameofThrones #GoT #GOTS8E4

@rickygervais @netflix I have an affinity for #Derek. Not sure why...

If you don’t believe in free speech for people who you hate, fear and disagree with, then you don’t believe in free speech.

Modern English is deformed Old English and degenerate Middle English. In other words, like any living language, it is "error" all the way down https://t.co/xqsJtUidIy

A Florida lawmaker has introduced a bill requiring public high schools to offer a class on the Bible. This legislation needlessly opens the door to an untold number of church/state separation violations. Don't turn teachers into preachers! https://t.co/gVf3bHuEkL

Please stop saying "You can't joke about anything anymore". You can. You can joke about whatever the fuck you like. And some people won't like it and they will tell you they don't like it. And then it's up to you whether you give a fuck or not. And so on. It's a good system.

lmao we've been doing philosophy for like three thousand years, and not only have we not discovered the truth, but we still can't even agree on what "truth" means.

[Secular Coalition for America @seculardotorg]

FACT: Unlike secular nonprofits, religious nonprofits (churches) are exempt from filing the 990 tax form. This means they are NOT required to disclose their finances or sources of funding.

It's time to change that

The world is awaiting and preparing for the Christmas celebration while two thousand people are still taken hostage by the Australian government in Manus & Nauru. This is the sixth Christmas that we spend in exile. Dark days marking humanity and history.#Manus

[Cato Institute @CatoInstitute]

Debates about income inequality, “the top 1%,” and poverty typically examine those issues within the context of a single country, but if you make more than $32,400 per year, you are in the top 1% of the richest people in the world. https://t.co/QkbduIVbvq

"'They probably believe without trying, from force of habit, from tradition. The important thing is not to stir them up. To let them live on the thin diet of their emotions rather than acquiring the torments of luxury. Blessed are the poor in spirit!'" #philosophy #unamunoyjugo

Rational thinking will be controversial as long as there are stupid people.
