McConaughey: "A nice guy gets along... They don't necessarily have discernment or judgment, not sure what they stand for or against."
"A good man has ideals he stands for and stands against. When tested, a good man is not a nice guy."
Jordan Peterson made a profound point on Chris Williamson’s podcast.
When God dies, a lot of unexpected things die with Him, including science.
Science isn’t some purely neutral, secular tool. It rests on deeply religious assumptions: that truth exists, that it’s knowable, that pursuing it is good, and that the universe makes sense.
These aren’t scientific claims, they’re metaphysical, rooted in a religious worldview. The universities themselves grew out of monasteries.
Without that deeper foundation, science eventually stops being about truth and becomes just another tool for power, ideology, or convenience. You lose the reason to be honest when the data gets inconvenient.
Do you think science can survive long-term without any belief in objective truth or a higher moral order?
The cultural consciousness would improve if we stopped saying "pregnant" and went back to saying "with child". We need to retrain the collective subconscious through discourse that it is actually a child, your child, not a clinical condition.
I met a native-speaking Welsh Poor Clare once, and when she spoke, even English, she seemed like someone who had fallen out of the Silmarillion and just found herself in the modern world.
In the history of Saturday Night Live, this group was probably one of my favorite casts.
We’ve got all the comedy greats in here! I wish SNL could turn back the clock and churn out more skits like this one.
Aleksander Doba kayaked solo across the Atlantic Ocean three times, most recently in 2017 at age of 70. He died in 2021 while climbing Kilimanjaro. After reaching top asked for a two-minute break before posing for photo. He then sat down on a rock and "just fell asleep".

Bo Jackson’s best throw. Maybe the best throw by anyone. Harold Reynolds can’t fathom he’s out and the Mariners coaching staff reacts like the other team after Roy Hobbs knocked the cover off the ball. Unbelievable.
“August 27, 2021: A healthy 28yr old girl with special needs arrived at Northwell Hospital in Glen Cove, Long Island. Other than a persistent mild cough, Danielle Alvarez was perfectly fine, labs showed. The staff should have sent her home.
Instead, Danielle suffered forty days of medical experimentation; neglect; and physical, emotional, and psychological torture before her body succumbed on October 6, 2021.
Her mom, Rebecca Charles Jackson, didn't know hospitals had become killing centers financially incentivized to administer deadly protocols in the name of COVID.
She thought her daughter was going to be cared for by medical professionals—not milked like a cash cow to the tune of $650,000 billed to private insurance and an additional unknown amount billed to Medicare.
Rebecca didn't know the hospital would assign Danielle an organ donor identification number without her consent.
She didn't realize the staff would administer ten doses of remdesivir-twice the standard COVID protocol of the emergency-use-authorized drug.
Rebecca never imagined the staff would pump Danielle with fentanyl—let alone lethal levels measuring 53 ng/mL at the time of her death. That's almost quintuple the amount (11 ng/mL) found in George Floyd's body.
Nor did Rebecca know Danielle would be subjected to propofol for over twenty-three days, exceeding safe limits and without any monitoring for Propofol-Related Infusion Syndrome.
She could not have guessed at the panoply of other drugs Danielle would be administered—most without Rebecca's knowledge or consent—including tocilizumab, precedex, morphine, paralytics, and chemical restraints.
Rebecca did not anticipate the doctor known among staff as the Ventilator Maestro—who later confessed to Rebecca, "I have nightmares about your daughter"—would intubate Danielle unnecessarily for thirty-two days.”
Danielle was murdered by hospital protocol. We will never forget until justice is served for these victims and their families.

This sculpture is AMAZING!
The pieces taken out of the father make the son. It's a great reminder about the importance of family and raising our children.
