Unecessary Ontology Tautology
The only defense available to unnecessary ontological expansion is further unnecessary ontological expansion.
If an independent defense existed, the expansion would not have been unnecessary.

Shout out to Corliss Lamont for the style (I think).

Another end forced on the stage through panic’s hocus pocus,

A substack post from Alan Gor (@Algore09algor), whose account has been inexplicably suspended (please fix that, @X @Support).

Do me a favour.
If you see a post from anyone imploring @x or @support about @Algore09algor......
Can you please repost it. Maybe comment.
It doesnt matter if you've already done your own. We need to flood them with our love for this man......

The real question is why media outlets keep treating limited harm-reduction progress as scandalous while cigarettes continue to dominate the legal nicotine market.
If FDA finally recognizes that adults who smoke deserve access to less harmful alternatives that is not corruption - that is what evidence-based regulation should have looked like years ago.

Eating too much salt increases the risk of high blood pressure in 15% of humans. Not in the other 85%. Your message is a paternalistic utilitarian lie-by-ommission-of-context.

Religious apologist: science actually proves my faith
Me: how so?
RA: because science proves order cannot come from disorder

The Argument from the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) 😉
1. If God exists, the initial state of the universe was not random
2. But the CMB shows the universe was initially a Black Body
3. And in physics, a Black Body is in a random state
Thus God does not exist.

Each of the arcs in this image are distant background galaxies that appear bent around the massive, white galaxy cluster Abell S1063. This #NASAWebb observation reveals many previously unseen galaxies.

ALT A cluster of galaxies. The center of the cluster is dominated by an enormous, bright-white galaxy. Throughout the image, there are thin, orange arcs that encircle the center, which are different galaxies. Many bright, fuzzy, orange and white galaxies are spread throughout. Several foreground stars appear large and bright with eight-pronged diffraction patterns around them. The background of space is black.

You helped me quit smoking and transition to vaping over 10 years ago, and I’ve since quit vaping entirely. You inspired me to help my 85 year old grandfather to quit smoking and transition to vaping, and it improved his quality of life so much that he stopped using his walker. I did the same for my mom, my sister, and countless other people who quit smoking, and your content was the catalyst for that chain of events.
I may not be vaping anymore, but seeing what @YouTube has done to such an important resource such as your channel sickens me. I hope your channel is reinstated soon, I can’t imagine the stress this would cause, and I hope you’re doing well to manage it. Thank you for all you’ve done for the world, Grimm ❤️
After 16 years, my @YouTube channel (GrimmGreen) was terminated today with no real explanation.
I’ve built my content around harm reduction, helping adult smokers quit, and advocating for science-based policies.
This feels like a huge mistake. If you believe in THR, free speech, and the mission we’ve been on, please help me get YouTube’s attention.
@TeamYouTube I’m asking for a real human to review my case.
I’ve never promoted anything illegal. I’ve never targeted youth. I’ve worked tirelessly to be a responsible voice in the vaping and harm reduction space. But like many creators in this space, it seems I’ve been swept up in an overly aggressive moderation wave.

Well I haven’t got an official communication from YouTube yet but it appears ol GrimmGreen is back for now.
I still have so many questions. But I’ll take this win for now. Thank you everyone.

@TeamYouTube You guys have just banned the "Mr. Rogers" of the vape community. @GrimmGreen has saved more lives via harm reduction than any one of us can count, myself included. He is the epitome of a great guy and loved by millions for what he does. Human review please!

Please @TeamYouTube get a human to review and reinstate his channel, Nick is a staple in this community, and much like many of us, he always followed all rules and guidelines…

I want everyone to know @TeamYouTube has DMd me here. It’s being escalated, and I’m just waiting.
“We will contact you when we know more” type of situation.
Your support has been humbling 🙏 and has had me in my feels all weekend.
Merry Christmas 🎄
