I guess the "skeptics" needed new friends like Chopra after the rest of us caught on to their bullshit...
Going through the Epstein files I found this invite to what appears to be a cursed dinner party at Deepak Chopra’s house where he invited Dawkins, Harris, Krauss, and Shermer

Validation isn't justice, but it sure is a fucking start. Plus, it's fuel to keep going.

I will always not regret walking away from the skeptic movement. And yeah, Rebecca was among the (if not THE) first to call out the BS from so many of its stars.
From the comments: "[T]o be mentioned TWICE as a thorn in the side of pedos. That’s a badge of honor I’d wear everyday.

To be called "a rather nasty young woman," by Richard Dawkins is another badge of honor.
@skepchick.org, always right about these heinous creatures.

I’ve long lamented that the skeptics movement was thoroughly atomized by its inclusion of some really heinous people. But I am so glad that Watson and the folks after her for lifting the rocks where the squirming things were hiding.

I’ve been doing so many searches of the new Epstein files drop and so many of my friend’s names show up, but always because some horrible person is sending private emails to Epstein complaining about them. May we all strive to be such a thorn in the sides of terrible people.

Thank you, Jamie, for your tireless searching efforts that brought us this news ❤️
I may have gotten my wish since I am pretty sure I am part of @skepchick.org’s “very very vicious crowd” that Krauss refers to in this email. Truly am so proud that the work we were doing at Skepchick during its heyday will be remembered in historical records by how much these terrible men hated us.

I’ve been offline most of today but a number of people have reached out to let me know that I was once again right about some things regarding Jeffrey Epstein and other horrible men. Thank you. This has been noted. However I will continue with my day’s plan of getting insanely high

All of the "I told you so" coming out of newly released rich pedo files is a good reminder right now when things are REALLY hard.
I have to believe that if we keep fighting for what is right and do what good we can in the face of overwhelming odds... history will vindicate that.

I am extremely proud to be very indirectly in the Epstein files as one of @skepchick.org's "vicious crowd" according to noted fuck-face Lawrence Krauss.

My time to shine: newts have sex by the male laying down spermatophores and then waving his tail and head butting the female until she sits on one and takes it into her cloaca.
On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

From a sociologist. Boost this.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
