For my nephew’s 5th birthday I smashed up 20% of his presents with a hammer to teach him how it feels to be a casualty of the gender pay gap.

I have written a scathing takedown of @DouglasKMurray’s new book “The Madness of Crowds”.
We urgently need to mobilise against this evil writer. I therefore implore you all to buy his book so we can burn as many copies as possible.
That’ll teach him.

"The reality is life is a single-player game. You’re born alone. You’re going to die alone. All of your interpretations are alone. All your memories are alone. You’re gone in three generations and nobody cares. Before you showed up, nobody cared. It’s all single-player." - @naval

Two of my favorite writers/thinkers
Too many people today act as if no one can honestly disagree with them. If you have a difference of opinion with them, you are considered to be not merely in error but in sin. You are a racist, a homophobe or whatever the villain of the day happens to be.
Before listening to Omar & Tlaib, consider than their parents chose to find REFUGE in the US, not another country. It's a nonrandom choice.
Illegals are crossing borders in ONE direction.
I myself came to America because of its properties. Preserving them is my duty.
