I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

quote tweet by Nathan Cofnas replying to JK Rowling who said:

More than one thing can be true. Nathan Cofnas is a racist. No argument there.

Also true: Arday claimed to have been non-verbal until the age of eleven. He span a false narrative about being autistic and mute, then learning to speak and write so well he gained a PhD. What harm did he do to parents with children who're genuinely non-verbal, by selling them false hope?

A screenshot of the Der Spiegel “Only a God Can Save Us” Interview with Martin Heidegger
(1966)

SPIEGEL: Professor Heidegger, we have noticed again and again that your philosophical work is somewhat overshadowed by incidents in your life that, although they didn't last very long, were never clarified, either because you were too proud or because you did not find it expedient to comment on them.

apparently victorian positivists tried to make a religion out of being a wife guy?
A passage on Auguste Comte from David Masson’s Recent British Philosophy (1877). It reads: 

But this was ere long developed into the "Later Comtism"; in which, impelled by a sudden revelation that his system was deficient as yet on the sentimental side, the author suddenly broke down one of its gables, and did pass on, without his hat, into what irreverent lookers-on must really call delirium and moonlight. Out from that gable he built, as it were, a spacious verandah for a new Religion, attached to his Positive Philosophy under the name of the Culte Systématique de l'Humanité. Here there might be busts of 365 selected eminent men of the past (a large proportion being, of course, Frenchmen), ranged in niches, as gods for ordinary daily worship throughout the year; besides more colossal bists of greater gods for the weeks and months; and a striking peculiarity of four black busts of History's most retrograde scoundrels, at quarterly intervals, to serve as devils, or desirable objects of execra-tion : while within all, in a secret alcove, one might practise the sweetest and keenest of all forms of the worship of Humanity—the worship of Woman—by praying habitually to one's own mother, or wife!
