Amara's Law Retweeted Jesse Singal
5. One of

6. Had to add this to my list of tweets that concisely critique poor reasoning methods - I see this pattern a *ton* among die-hard ideologues:https://twitter.com/senatorshoshana/status/1095007108536373248 …

Amara's Law Retweeted visa is doing final edits ✍🏾 📖
7. The very first sentence in this Tweet captures so much of what's wrong with people who seek out monsters to slay:https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1098599890157006858 …

visa is doing final edits ✍🏾 📖 @visakanvwe cannot allow our hatred of assholes to turn us into assholes ourselves. it's pretty tricky, and something that people tend to be silent about because it will get you blowback from your own ingroup. "kindness??? to our enemies???" it's not for them. https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1065116502670503936 …Show this thread1 reply 1 retweet 14 likesShow this thread -

Amara's Law Retweeted Michael Malice
9. If you haven't encountered a situation in which someone has used outliers to dismiss an average, you really haven't lived a full life yet.

Amara's Law Retweeted eigenrobot
11. I totally forgot who it was that made this tweet, but I'm glad I found it. Everyone who wants to use the outcome of an event to score cheap points will tend to reduce the cause to a *single* factor - as satirized by
