@elonmusk I thought Elon was an immigrant. I am surprised he changed his mind on immigration. A few months ago, he advocated for an inclusive immigration policy similar to what allowed him to build wealth in America.

Knowledge is not the same as wisdom. The intellect is always a thought away, distant from the wise, but rich with knowledge. And with this knowledge comes what? For, a lack of application is as good as occupying an abyss of nothingness.

@yassmin_a Yes, its a sentiment of extreme hard right religious conservatives who believe the decline of society is directly correlated with multiple expressions of feminism (3rd, 4th wave esp.) They bring up the “declining birth rate, demise of the nuclear family, and the attack on men.”
