Lying is intentionally misleading another person. Bullshitting is trying to fool yourself. Some people bullshit by claiming that when I say "bullshit", I mean "lying".

Yes, it's true that it's important to talk to people who have different beliefs than me. It's also true that I don't have to talk to someone who thinks the reality of my existence makes me an abomination. Politics has become so polarized that it too often hits that line.

It's also quite telling that the lefties who retweeted my comments on Bari Weiss to mock them didn't share the facts I posted about the famines in Sudan and Afghanistan. This is why you keep losing. You keep being petty while claiming the moral high ground and people notice.

Lefties are being jerks about this, but this is actually a core principle of responsible journalism. If Weiss compromises her own stated principles, she can be held accountable for that more effectively than the mere fact of her having right wing views.

Bari Weiss now has the opportunity to practice what she preaches, and allow well argued views she doesn't agree with to pass her editorial desk.

12.4 million Afghans are facing acute food insecurity. 41% of children have stunted growth from malnutrition. Women and girls are particularly impacted due to child marriage and adolescent health issues. Awareness of this is low. Where are the celebrity protests? www.worldvision.org/disaster-rel...

The problem with the left is that too often it destroys individuals for some cause. The problem with the right is that it too often forsakes its started causes for the guy currently in power

I know I get canceled for believing that fixating on a single global conflict "because we can do something about it" while ignoring others is wrong. But strangely, that social punishment didn't change my mind. Unless you holistically understand global trends, you can't truly understand that one war.

The killing, sexual abuse and starvation continues to this day in Sudan. And it's really hard to watch certain parts of the world get obsessive attention while much bigger horror shows get ignored. Sudanese militia commander con... www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

I really miss that brief period when Pierre Poillievre didn't have a seat. He's just mean and all he does is criticize and complain. He can't work with people he doesn't agree with to present a united front. He's always just mouthing off. 'No more losing,' Poilievre te... www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

If people can't handle a difference of opinion and different goals without branding you some sort of malicious evil, that is a them problem. You don't totally change as a person because you do something they don't like.

Bad people make excuses. Good people make solutions.

Beware of those who demand you prove non events.

The Democrats currently have what I refer to as "The Batman Problem." By that I mean that someone cast as a villain is allowed to be fun and colorful and a complete asshole, but responding in kind is seen as a violation. So the Joker can kill a bunch of people, Batman can't.

No one ever, in the history of apologies, ever successfully coerced someone into believing their apology was sincere. A sincere apology contains a path forward to better that you can be held to, not just "I'm sorry. Here's all the reasons my life sucks and you're mean for making me apologize."

I keep having to remind myself that when I see "Vought" in the news now, I am not reading an article about The Boys

Considering that the US Mexico border implementation split what is now known as the "Latino" population between the countries, using a sombrero to mock is just sheer ignorance. Cattle ranching in the area goes back to the 1600s. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848.

Combatting more falsehoods about me: I did not wait months to kick a kiwi farmer from my server. The person in question was not in my server. He tried to rejoin months later and that was when I confronted and blocked him. I really wish people would just stop.

I'm sick of people blowing up when it's explained to them why a statement they made fueled bigotry. It becomes this fight about whether they, as an entire person, are a bigot when the best thing to do to prove you're not is just listen and course correct.

If you're really sorry, you're prepared to accept consequences and make changes to fix what you break and right what you wronged. If you're not prepared to change anything, you're not really sorry.

You gotta be careful of talking yourself into bad things. Especially if you consider yourself smart. The more intelligent you are, the greater capacity you have for hubris and harm. Giving yourself permission to lash out always has negative consequences.

I don't expect to hear a peep from "radical free speech activists" regarding any gutting of Bioware on ideological grounds. Because I never believed it was really about free speech. It was about wanting to hurt people with words with impunity.

Latest mental health concept to get ruined: mind reading. Abusers now do things you have told them really bother you, then say "You don't know I'm doing that on purpose! That's mind reading!" No it's not. You told them it bothered you. They kept doing it anyway. That's just fact.

Let's face it: Bioware has been dying since EA acquired it. After it was clear that a talented team on Veilguard had to slap something together from the corpse of a ridiculous live service game they were forced to make, the Saudi EA acquisition is just an acceleration.

Watching The Gilded Age is so good for realizing that the most savage thing you can sometimes do to someone is give them the silent treatment. It's not good. It's not right. But oh god is it true!

It never ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go to justify objectively terrible behaviour. It doesn't matter how bad the other person is. Your behaviour reflects on you.

I don't understand vengeful people. No matter what you think the other person has done, your behaviour is your behaviour. Slapping a bad label on someone as an excuse to dehumanize them doesn't change the fact that you're dehumanizing them.

It's gotten to the point where I become hypervigilant when the word "narcissism" pops up. It's a real thing, but it's become such an overused accusation that true narcissists get away with it more. If everyone you don't like is a narcissist, the word becomes meaningless.

Rowling makes an unfounded assumption here. “Emma and Dan [Radcliffe] in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right — nay, obligation — to critique me and my views in public.” Here's how...

So much for being able to tolerate speech you don't like. Personally I'm stoked for all the Bad Bunny Bangers at the Superbowl! Does this mean they lose the plausible deniability surrounding JK Rowling now? I mean he's allowed his views, right?

This is one of these times where US politics seems really weird to Canadians. Health care is considered a right here, so the the government shutting down because the ruling party doesn't want to give it to people is bizarre. Granted our post office isn't considered an essential service, so...

Of course the media focuses on the criticism Kamala Harris is getting for her book even though the criticism isn't terribly meaty. Women running for president are damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they make tough calls they're either not a leader or disloyal. www.cnn.com/2025/09/29/p...

I still don't get why some people suddenly think puberty blockers are sooooo dangerous because they're being prescribed to trans kids, when their original use was to stop kids from being short and picked on in school for being "different". If they're so dangerous, why are cis kids getting them?

I'm meh on the EA acquisition because I'm frankly not sure how that company could get any worse. US owned sociopathic megacorp vs Saudi owned sociopathic megacorp... is there really a big difference? Since it's going private they won't be able to blame shareholders for their terrible decisions.

Okay this is funny!

It has come to my attention that someone has made a 56 minute youtube video accusing me of ignoring the transphobic behaviour of someone on kiwi farms. This is false. I confronted the individual, and when they confirmed they were on the farms, I threw them out of my discord server. (more)

Canadian here. Honest question: has America really forgotten the KKK? I see people calling racist Americans "Nazis" all the time, but the klan started in 1866. The Nazis didn't come around until 1920. Is there a reason that the source of home grown racism has been removed from the lexicon?

It's hit the point where watching the news media shit the bed on internet memes regarding the Charlie Kirk shooter is both terrifying and darkly funny. Newsrooms need to hire more gamers so they stop screwing up context. These cultural touchpoints are relevant.

How you respond to the killing of Charlie Kirk isn't about Charlie Kirk. It's about you. Don't stoop to his level. He said horrible things. Being gleeful that he was taken out by a sniper misses the point that these days, anyone can be. It's also mocking the trauma of those who had to witness it.
