Spotted: Trump directing traffic outside of Bergdorf’s.
Still the best book about secular humanism on the market.
From my travels:
Oh please, these angry folks never do the reading!
The last source I’m going to go to about this issue is Xtramagazine. I trust Jesse’s reporting.
Jesse did a good job writing about it here. I talked to Dr. Zucker this week myself. He’s a good guy and is not al all this cartoonish demon people make him out to be.

I can tell you that his work has been grossly mischaracterized by activists.
I’m a little French, actually, about 7% French Canadian.

Evergreen tweet. No notes.
I’m sure everyone in Bluesky will love this podcast with Jesse Singal, hosted by @bendreyfuss.bsky.social and others! www.centralairpodcast.com/p/real-accou...

Harvard Law School clinical instructor and trans activist Alejandra Caraballo corrects herself and calls me a mean name.
But she neglects to note this article from 2025, written by a trans woman:

Caraballo should issue a correction.
Which journalist are you referring to?
She’ll just move the goalposts.
Caraballo makes a false claim: that The Atlantic has platformed no trans people over the past decade to discuss their lives.
For one, The Atlantic platformed Evan Urquhart.

Gays don’t need to register their sexuality with the registrar and have everyone say their sexual orientation every time they refer to them. That’s the difference.
NEWS: SCOTUS win—for now—in fight against school policies in California that permit keeping a child’s gender transition at school secret from parents.
The Court’s order favors parents’ constitutional rights while the broader appeal continues.
