conservatism has long been surrounded by an enormous shimmering halo of pseudo-philosophy
Frank Wilhoit: ‘Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition âŠThere must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.â’
What I have taken advantage of is what so many, many, many, many other people have taken advantage of, which is today the total disintermediation of the public discourse. There is no longer any gatekeeping whatsoever.

Doing graphic design for ISIS was the passion of a 28-year-old Houston man who was arrested last week
ISISâs chief designer gave him the nickname The Nightmare because of the extensive notes and revisions that were required before any piece of propaganda he worked on was pushed out.

Haha So True!
This research explores HST as a potential game-changer for the chronically socially fatigued.
Minimal-effort âHaha So True!â responses provide the same satisfaction boost as more strenuous replies like âOMG LMAOâ.
Friendships thrive best when effort is kept to a bare minimum â so long as it exists at all.
How Journalism gets punished by Authoritarians
The president tweeted false statements about Amazon and his threats to raise its postal shipping rates. Amazonâs market value briefly plunged $60 billion.
Through his actions, Defendant Trump has intentionally conveyed to all writers and journalists that if he objects to their coverage, they may be subject to retaliation by the federal government.
Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.
Part of living in a society means you must learn to care for people other than yourself
All children deserve a quality, free education.
If you arenât willing to fork over an extra 17 cents for a Big Mac, youâre a fundamentally different person than I am.
I cannot have political debates with these people. Our disagreement is not merely political, but a fundamental divide on what it means to live in a society, how to be a good person, and why any of that matters.
In our collective quest for a reformed masculinity, at a time when kids are being force-fed misogyny and other kinds of hate by the social media giants, each of us has a responsibility
Gender identities have become rather more fluid since I was 10(15) years old in 1991.
Boys simply werenât (and I suspect still often arenât) exposed to emotionally intelligent character interactions in the books marketed to us.
The Pleasure of being left alone
The true test of an introvert â not whether one engages in social activity, but whether one is charged or drained by it.
âSilence drops like falling blossoms over the recovered kingdom from which pretenders have taken their leave.â
âDear visitors, what largesse have you given, not only in departing, but in coming, that we might learn to prize your absence, wallow the more exquisitely in the leisure of your not-being.â
Even Octopuses enjoy a candy bar now and again
Argonauts spend their entire lives sailing in the open ocean, just below the surface.
The researchers pored over 55,100 photos posted on Instagram posted from 2016 to 2023. After eliminating any photos that were duplicated or seemed altered or manipulated, they were left with 569 photos.
Argonauts exhibit extreme sexual dimorphism, as females weigh up to 600 times as much as males.

People with conservative political views are more likely to click on sponsored search results
Conservatives are likely to be more trusting of sponsored communications than liberals, who lean toward organic content.
Conservatives were more likely to click ads in response to broad searches because they may be less cognitively demanding.
A 10% increase in a stateâs conservative identity was associated with a 6.4% increase in search ad clicks.
