Since this got some attention, I want to be VERY CLEAR my anger was driven by Jill's blatant hypocrisy, not actually religion. A person claiming to be Christain asking other people to break one of the Ten Commandments (Thou shalt not bear false witness) i.e. dont't lie. 🧵 1

As the weather is heating up, I thought it might be nice to wade into the cool waters of some of Ireland’s holy wells. Ireland has more than 3,000 holy wells, with at least one in almost every parish on the island. #Ireland #SpéirGhorm #IrishHistory

I get today’s mansions are HUGE, but really?! ““The current trend towards dinosaur fossils being marketed and sold like rare artworks at vast prices by auction houses is very concerning, as is the idea of buying #dinosaur fossils as a status symbol or a commodity,”” #capitalism

Carbon capture is expensive and largely ineffective at making a real difference on emissions. Especially when the captured carbon can be used for enhanced oil recovery, which lets companies access oil that would have otherwise stayed in the ground!!!

According to its defenders, the death penalty is about justice. In practice, it's political capital formation. A tool incumbents can use to win primaries. It pleases a small percentage of the population who also happen to be the worst of the population.

We should all be writing and printing obituaries for the horrible public figures that are still alive. Give them a taste while it matters.

The idea that we shouldn’t speak ill of the dead seems ridiculous to me. What more important time is there to set the public memory of the good or bad a person has put into the world than when they die. It’s the gift we give to those we loved, and the bill due for those who made others miserable.

I agree. You don't get a free pass for doing horrible things or being a horrible person just because you died. If you want people to think better of you after you die, then you have to put the effort in and choose to be a better person in life.
