If moral progress is possible, then morality can't just be a social construct. Progress entails that some values are better than others. If morality were just a social construct—and not an objective feature of reality—then we'd have moral differences, but never improvements.

The fact that trans men can get pregnant is proof that they are women pretending to be men. It is not proof that men can get pregnant.

I'd love to sit down with my friend @ConceptualJames and talk about God (and whether He exists). We should do that.

"Here is a quick and generally reliable rule to follow. If people have always said it, it is probably true; it is the distilled wisdom of the ages. If people haven't always said it, but everybody is saying it now, it is probably a lie; it is the . . . madness of the moment."

Reuters: "The article making the false claim originated from satire website The Babylon Bee."
Is it a "false claim" if it originates from a satire site, or is it—what's the word I'm looking for—satire?

A racist is a person Democrats don't like. Misinformation is an opinion Democrats don't like. Inclusivity is the exclusion of people and opinions Democrats don't like.

Stop defining "woman" in terms of genitals or child-bearing ability, you small-minded, science-denying bigots. Womanhood is sacred. It can't be reduced to what's between your legs.
A woman is anyone—with or without a penis—who wears lipstick, heels, and a dress.

Twitter's character limit is a good thing. Forced brevity challenges you to think harder about what you're saying and how you're saying it. I think it's made me a better writer, if that's even possible.

If only there were something other than censorship that could be used to combat ideas we don’t like.
