Once a stupid idea like "vaccines cause autism", "all sex workers are slaves," or "the 25th Amendment allows presidents to be removed from office if they're bad at the job" becomes lodged in the public consciousness, it can take a sort of quasi-lobotomy to dislodge it.

Parroting your party's line every time someone they've designated for the Two Minutes Hate pops up again in the news doesn't make you look intelligent; it makes you look like a parrot.

Looking at the world through only one eye, whether it be right or left, reduces it to two dimensions.

"Progressives" are obsessed with their fantastical ideas about what the future will be like, and "conservatives" are obsessed with their fantastical ideas about what the past was like. The war between these competing fantasies is turning the present into No Man's Land.

The novel "Mary Shelley" is a classic of Gothic horror; I heartily recommend it. The part at the villa on Lake Geneva is especially haunting. https://t.co/Tgu4KSgoEP

Being obsessed with life extension is linked to mindlessly following every silly, pseudoscientific claim of magical properties (either good or ill) for an ever-changing list of food ingredients. https://t.co/m7pOnmNTH8

People with very tiny brains only have room in them for one insult at a time, so they use it regardless of whether it makes any sense at all.

Both of the schoolyard teams have been making this exact same claim about sex workers, our clients, and our familes and associates, for two decades now.
Why are y'all so surprised that one of the teams took the ball and ran farther with it? https://t.co/0aaRBsFhRl

Free speech on social media has been the #1 most important factor in getting the public to see sex workers as people rather than cardboard victims or villains. That's why all prohibitionists are pro-censorship; they don't want the truth contradicting their lies & propaganda. https://t.co/80wuRypaLo

People who don't suffer from vertigo never even consider how their brilliant ideas might affect vertigo sufferers (such as a demonstrated dramatic increase in motion sickness as a passenger in a robot vehicle vs a human-piloted vehicle). https://t.co/PYKKsWDRqh

Whenever I see people gripebragging about how they've allowed the number of emails in their undifferentiated webmail boxes to climb to absurd numbers via neglect and procrastination, I want to teach them about filters. But I doubt many of 'em would pay my consultation fee.
