You all have been dragging Nude Africa Nazi guy so amazingly well, all I can offer is that I now feel like his 2021 remarks about me are now, in retrospect, honestly a highlight of my entire career x.com/RightWingWatch…

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson attacks @gregmepstein, the president of Harvard's chaplain organization, for being an atheist: "He has no wisdom. His wisdom won't begin until he falls down on his knees, repents for his sins, and asks Jesus Christ to come into his heart."



"Nice" to see that here, too, there are bots auto-replying immediately to any request for donations. What would these sites be without AI to help grifters prey on the vulnerable?

Awhile since posting here but Siwatu—best man at my wedding and one of the best humans I've known—lost everything but his family, passport, and pet turtle in the fires destroying much of Altadena, CA last week. I'm running the @gofundme. Please donate!!! gofund.me/b2a11fcd

My only issue with Biden pardoning Hunter is if he stops there. Biden should commute death penalty for 40 Americans on federal death row, cancel student debt via EO & force Trump to revive it, & protect abortion nationwide via EO. Get bold. Take action. Slow down MAGA fascism!

Have we reached 'peak understanding'? Before AI, human knowledge steadily grew. Now, AI's complexity may shrink the % we grasp. As understanding declines, people may turn to religion to fill the void. @DanBarcay & I discuss this with @gregmepstein on Your Undivided Attention.
