It’s been the case for decades that the US has a police brutality problem without accountability. Politicians and rich white people turn a blind eye because they believe they benefit from the social control they think results.

Opinion | I’ve dedicated my career to promoting free speech on college campuses. Here’s why the murder of a red state college dropout by another red state college dropout means it’s time to fire liberal professors in blue states.

Re: Charlie Kirk: trace 50 years of Islamic terrorism and it began with bombing Christians and Hindus. 30 years ago they bombed minority Muslims, such as Sufis and Ismailis. 15 years ago Sunnis bombed other Sunnis, and people outside that belief system couldn’t distinguish victim and perpetrator.

Send a saucy birthday card—Kier Starmer sacks you. Starve children to death and bomb hospitals—Kier Starmer welcomes you to Downing Street. He really is a moral midget.

It helps to point people toward trustworthy, accessible sources like Wikipedia, The Conversation, The Guardian, CBC, BBC, Bellingcat, not because they are always right but because they are self correcting

If you suppress your emotional behaviour and this becomes a habit, eventually you'll lose the ability to identify that emotion in yourself. A short video explainer: youtu.be/1DyUS_6Qzdc

There are four theoretical ways that a person can misunderstand an emotion. Each of these results from a different aspect of people manipulating their emotional behaviour. Real world understanding of emotion blends these with correct understanding to create a fuzzy amalgam. youtu.be/Y0PNUXmizHw

This explains a hypothesis of how personality disorder works as a mechanism. Two elements: a human can anticipate future emotions and calculates actions to create emotional outcomes; if a person suppresses emotional behaviour they lose the ability to identify the emotion. youtu.be/mindhhCsfAk?...

Pretending to be happy will make you miserable
Pretending to be happy is a form of emotional inauthenticity. Authentic emotions direct you to what needs to be changed in your life.
