@paulogia.bsky.social I watched your video on Habermas's "Magnum Opus", but watching him stumble over questions has me confused. In your opinion is he disingenuous or uncritical of his own work? Or did I misunderstand some point?

@gutsickgibbon.bsky.social I like the skulls you have in your videos. Can I ask where you got them from? I'm toying with the idea of a homo evolution shelf

The faux nuclear over solar/wind opinion is done exclusively by bad faith actors and coal devotees Yes nuclear energy is well and good and we're building them but solar is here now. We're talking a construction schedule of ten years vs ten days.

Stylish vs sloppy

Saying we're in a battle of good vs evil is no different than saying we're in a battle of silly vs serious, or in a battle of efficient vs inefficient, or in a battle of meaningful vs frivolous.

Like, I'm just reeling at the gall of someone who lived through Reagan's AIDs crisis, Bush II's islamaphobia, and Obama's birtherism conspiracies to suddenly be shocked at the Conservative Evangelical attitudes of 2016+. The call is coming from inside the house. It's what the house is made of.

The SBC was founded specifically to support slavery. Christianity was used as a mace in McCarthy's anti communist paranoia (Acts 2:44, much?). I can even find pro-segregation sermons. Even today topics like "are men and women equal" and "are gays cool" are 'controversial'.

Just finished @drmoore.bsky.social "Losing Our Religion" in which he laments how fervently American Evangelical's support for contemporary right wing culture war causes. Like, my dude, Your religion has never not been about conservative culture wars.

@lordrogos.bsky.social BY the way glad you got out of your old unit, sounds like BAT times were ahead

My rage goes back and forth from "What the fuck is wrong with Americans?" to "Fuck them all - they'll get president and the country they deserve." The fact is I will probably be fine no matter what. But I wanted OTHER PEOPLE to be fine.

@misterlovegood.bsky.social Wie geht's Schätzte? Erinnere dich an mich, bybat?
