- Reposted by Deb Friesen1,173 people were shot dead by "law enforcement" in the USA last year. In the UK, it was 2. The US population is 6x that of the UK, so go ahead and multiply the second figure by 6. Then explain to me why this massively disproportionate rate of killing is so.

(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

- Reposted by Deb Friesen🧵 Who's the most informed about American politics? Very lefty seculars. My new FREE study @sfjournal.bsky.social finds atheists/agnostics, especially if they are politically sorted, score higher on knowledge of basic civics & current politics than other groups. 1/ academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

- Just finished Why We Believe by Agustin Fuentes, a good follow up to David Sloan Wilson’s Darwin’s Cathedral. An interesting read although he lost me a bit near the end in the discussion of “scientism” which I don’t really think is a thing. Next up Will Gervais, Disbelief.

- Want to help solve the climate crisis + save money? When you need to update your heating system get a heat pump. When you need to update your car, get an EV. More efficient and less costly to run. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s...

- Reposted by Deb FriesenCato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.
