Timid political incorrectness.

@GuntherEagleman It's one thing to be hearing voices that aren't there, but why do these people always obey the voices? I don't even obey real voices.

@WasatchSnow The answer to this is to stop changing our clocks and start changing our schedules.

@bryan_johnson But will AI be able to select all the boxes that contain a stop sign?

@Suzierizzo1 On behalf of all women, any father accompanying his young daughter/s into the women's bathroom is more than welcome. I will hold the door open for you.

@AdamLehrerSP Gabe had an opportunity to seek to understand Austin's prejudices and prove them wrong. To be a positive interaction and build up trust that's obviously been broken in the past. Instead, he accomplished to further cement the negative stereotype in the minds of countless others.

There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online.

He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history.

He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing.

His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living.

He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action.

He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation.

Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not.

Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation.

He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk.

He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation.

The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable.

Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom.

But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back.

Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.

Go see MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

[sonia @finalgirlsonia]

i hate to report that jared leto is unfortunately very good as skeletor, one of the best villain performances i've seen in a long time actually…

Go watch Masters of the Universe

[g ⊹₊⟡⋆ @GGWHOO]

Masters of the Universe is the funniest movie of the year. I’m sorry for those who don’t get it.

[Tom Chatalbash @TomChatalbash]

It frustrates me beyond belief that audiences failed to show up for Masters of the Universe and Dungeons and Dragons because both deserve proper sequels we’ll probably never get 😞

"Thankfully, everything went smoothly"

Man, what a way to describe premeditated murder

[Jesse Ridgway @McJuggerNuggets]

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.

The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.

I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.

She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.

Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.

When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.

Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):

50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.

I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.

The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.

We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.

This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.

You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.

To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.

As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.

It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.

Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

@classicmamahere @magdalenacals Same. Wouldn't have it any other way!

[Rai Rai @RaiWri]

@berrysweetmum @LadyNimby I do too, mainly because my 9 month old baby is 25 lbs.

@MarinasHammer My dad was sent to the emergency room after an illegal crashed into him just yesterday. Our roads are so dangerous now.

[Rai Rai @RaiWri]

@Alicia_Bittle_ We had the same experience.

@SerioJoshehe Every baby I have seen with gay parents always has a haunting, blank stare

[Rai Rai @RaiWri]

@AdamLaneSmith The fact that anyone can put their very misinformed opinion out there and act like it has any level of authority is crazy about these modern days.

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Books are so cool because there are NO FUCKING ADS IN THEM.

[SLC Fatigue @MarinasHammer]

KSL is doubling down on supporting this pedophile who got 30 days for a sexual act with an infant. This article even commends him for his "remarkable act of honesty" because he admitted to it in an interview with law enforcement.

They wrote an article because you, the internet, helped my last post on this go viral and reach over 205k. Now they’re doubling down, explaining why this is okay.

We can’t let the pedophile lobby win. Under any circumstances.
