I say this as a cat owner but I always feel that dogs code left-wing and cats code right-wing, or at least libertarian. “No such thing as society” vibes Pic is the headline to a Spectator article I’m never going to read but it made me think about the very serious issue of pet politics

Really great recommendations! #HumanistBookshelf. Get yours in now. Sagan is certainly in the lead as our most recommended author at the moment. Also, just for fun, here's one of our favourite Douglas Adams quotes.
Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful. Without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? Douglas Adams. Author and humanist.

this is very dumb but because it would be worse than climate change if it were true, it is sucking up absolutely tremendous amounts of philanthropic money and attention that might otherwise go toward fixing a different problem that AI use is driving mad about it

If "legitimate concerns" were considered to excuse illegitimate methods, then nobody from Just Stop Oil or Palestine Action would have been arrested. So we know it doesn't. In fact that phrase is only ever used in one context. Only in that context is uniformed mob intimidation "peaceful protest"

So many tech people seem to see the conflict between parenting and work as one in which work is the natural and moral victor. If you’re going to automate an aspect of your life, why wouldn’t it be the meetings rather than the spending quality time with your teenager?!

You'd have to be quite dim to look at the recent output of Kathleen Stock et al and think that they're centre-left types with some "valid concerns" about gender identity. There's a consistently harsh and reactionary view of human experience which turns people into "problems"
