Lots of people asked me for the clip of Charlie Kirk's hatred in his own words. I posted it to YouTube shorts but they blocked it, so here you go! I didn't collect the first 90 seconds, that was floating around social media already.

Correction: the average dog owns 1/5 of a human in their lifetime

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

Debates don't mean anything. Pointless. Why TF does anyone participate in them

Trans rights are human rights.

Cover story by me in the September issue of The Physiologist Magazine👇🏼 It was super fascinating to learn and write about these six scientists who laid the foundation for modern physiology 🔬🫀📖💉🐟🐀

there's a lot going on and I'm tired of trying to rush to have well-formed opinions. So I bring you one of my most unshakable opinions, one that I arrived at years ago and hasn't changed: long grapes are the best grapes

Every story is a science story. Science journalism matters. Trust in facts matters. Community matters. Thank you for being part of TON’s story. Help us celebrate another 15 years. Here @heyhelina.bsky.social describes what TON has meant to her. #TON15 www.theopennotebook.com/15thannivers...

1/2 Are you an autistic adult or parent of an autistic child in or around Madison or Milwaukee, WI? I'm reporting on how MAHA's rhetoric is impacting autistic people, especially kids. Please repost and DM me if you or anyone you know fits this description and would be willing to chat. TY!

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

One thing about millennials is that our healing journey inevitably involves realizing that songs that we once thought were romantic and cute are actually toxic ASF and ranting to the youth about the same

Pause doom scrolling ⏸️ Take a deep breath 🫁 Look into my eyes 👀 Proceed ▶️

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

From “out of the blue” to celebrating 15 years of supporting the craft of science writing, we’re still here doing our part to uphold a functioning democracy. Help us celebrate another 15 years. #TON15 www.theopennotebook.com/15thannivers...

🧵 I know it's ridiculous, but when he's talking mitochondrial challenges & inflammation, he's again referring to his idea of vaccine-induced autism. Let me explain.

These are my daily meds, including an SSRI and an SNRI. I'm thankful and proud to take them. #USANotRFK

Me wielding my old SCIENCE sword. Maybe it's time to dust this off. Circa 2014, by my cousin:

"And they certainly do not understand that Mrs. Knowles-Carter can never reach the heights of Mr. Jackson for many reasons we won’t go into but one particular reason: MTV." Exactly. @therootdotcom.bsky.social www.theroot.com/why-beyonc-i...

I always wanted to believe in Blue Zones, or unique parts of the world where there is thought to be a higher rate of centenarians and super centenarians. I had an opportunity to read a ton and write about them in this episode of @scishow.bsky.social 🤓 youtu.be/0AD78KulqHw?...

imagine a tobacco company urged governments to embed smoking a 'core component' of a healthy lifestyle

just found my *vintage* Sony discman at my parents house

yep PBS didn't "become woke." You grew up to be a bad person.

thankful that my new med has lifted me out of a long depression (buproprion) Problem though --it's killed my appetite. I'm on the building muscle train. 💪🏼🚂 Any magic solution to this other than cottage cheese and Greek yogurt? Chicken and beans are so filling I can't eat enough 🤣

Great day to get a library card. Digital lending is available. They want us ignorant. Fight ignorance. Please.

“The secular movement’s only hope is to finally oust the racism, sexism, and other forms of hate that have long dominated it. That’s been an uphill battle”

once again again, it's time to listen to Sinead

📣Religion doesn't have agency, people do

Nevermind. I didn't realize there was body shaming involved.

I haven't watched South Park in years. I might start again

What many Westerners don't realize is that the West has a dual religion, Christianity and white supremacy. Apostasy requires apostasy from both.

I have many thoughts about this but I'll leave it at this: the commitment to bigotry among leading atheists is functionally indistinguishable from the Christian Nationalist commitment because they support the same politics

"One thing that I’ve learned is that religious extremists who oppose trans rights and atheists who oppose trans rights share one major tactic: the misappropriation of biology." An excellent piece from @kavinsenapathy.bsky.social that criticizes the terrible views of Coyne, Pinker, et. al.

Thanks so much for the engagement with my work for @theflytrapmedia.com in this excellent read, @kavinsenapathy.bsky.social!

“I fear that the network of secular organizations seeking to protect and advocate for atheists in America will not reach most of the nation’s growing nonreligious population because of the bigotry that has pervaded it for decades” - @kavinsenapathy.bsky.social tonemadison.com/articles/ame...

@kavinsenapathy.bsky.social writes about bigotry—particularly against trans people—in some atheism movements. "They insist that science is pure and apolitical, but that faction is wrong; science and social justice are inextricable." tonemadison.com/articles/ame...

It's true

Hey Seth @thethinkingatheist.com watcha doin this weekend? Wanna meet at FreeFlo and take courage from the company of other atheists, humanists, and skeptics? I hear @forrestvalkai.bsky.social is going to be there and @kavinsenapathy.bsky.social and @katherinestewart.bsky.social too www.freeflo.org

WTF youtube.com/watch?v=Jv18...

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Kendrick’s American flag motif at THIS MOMENT is subversive. Yes, yes, yes.

Hillary's emails though

I'm considering going to the 50501 protest tomorrow - 50 protests at 50 state capitols. My only concern is what looks like a lack of organization. I'm all for protesting, especially now! But the lack of info (incl on their wensites) has me wondering about it. Does anyone have legit info on it?

A program of my book launch event aired recently on C-Span Book TV. Here is a link to check it out!

OMG CONGRATULATIONS KAVIN 🤩

My book The Progressive Parent made the list of "78 Books Scientific American Recommends in 2024" 💫📚 www.scientificamerican.com/article/78-b...

Happy 2025 from me and my crooked middle finger. I have a few updates! -C-Span will air a program about my book Sun, Jan 5 at 2 pm EST -I'm growing out my bangs -My depression and OCD have been rough lately. I'll be ok! Note how a depressed person can still muster a toothy grin

It was genuinely so nice outside I was standing on the deck earlier and basking in socks 🧦☀️ (33° f is about 1° c but it feels so good in the sun 😆) Happy Holidays and Xmas to all who observe ❤️ #Wisconsin

Für Türchen 19 des skeptischen Adventskalenders erwartet uns wieder eine internationale Stimme: @kavinsenapathy.bsky.social. Kavin erklärt, wie Wissenschaftlichkeit und soziale Gerechtigkeit verwoben sind, und was das für die Erziehung von Kindern bedeuten kann: youtu.be/jwj2hj7EeEo
