I'm doing something new. There are plenty of things I believe on insufficient evidence. The internet loves to tell you when you're an idiot. And I want to find out if there is something to my unsupported views. So I'll be asking AM I AN IDIOT each day with a new topic. Fun!

If I ventured a guess, as neither a conservative nor centrist, the rhetoric described as "woke" has been convincing to a relatively small but significant chunk of Americans, and they disproportionately influence powerful institutions.

Centrists and rightists should be asked how they reconcile 1. "Wokeness" is bad at convincing people 2. "Wokeness" is now culturally dominant 3. Institutions at large have embraced "Wokeness" Does "wokeness" fail to convince people, or has "wokeness" convinced too many people?

@RandPaul Sir, I read the transcript this afternoon and I think this tweet is intentionally deceitful.

I think a key trait of masculinity is taking responsibility for one's own actions.

This sucks. I enjoy Twitter and don't have a good alternative, but now I feel bad when I open the app.

I'm throwing a Halloween party and my husband will be home (not hunting, rare) so we've been discussing costumes. I want to do a Greek goddess and asked him to consider Zeus or Pan. This is his counter.

@StrangelEdweird @FreeBlckThought @LeonydusJohnson I don't think you have a good basis for claiming Halle Bailey was cast for this role due to race obsession.

@JodyLindstrom @brad_polumbo A dear friend of mine and his husband adopted a child so neglected by his parents that his growth was stunted and he struggles with severe learning disabilities. Their son just finished a year with AmeriCorp and is heading to college. Strange form of child abuse.

For me, by the time I felt financially ready to have kids, it was much harder to get pregnant. I'm now several years deep into fertility treatments and miscarriage, and despite wanting to have three, would be happy to have just one.

What is the BEST simple explanation for why no one in the developed world is having kids?

@vanillaopinions Having a pleasant surprise first child at 40. Husband is 47. It's exciting, but so daunting, how much change it means for us.

AM I AN IDIOT #8 A lot of issues you have with the media, no matter how you feel about politics, are better explained by the media's desire for conflict in a story than an ideological, partisan, or social bias. Am I an idiot?

My friends threw a really lovely baby shower for me yesterday. I haven't posted my bump, so here you go, at 31 weeks.

@MarkDavis @DavidAFrench My mistake, I thought real conservative meant prudent, limited government guided by respect for the constitution.

I earnestly think that anyone applying a race/class analysis to housing will conclude that our zoning laws have been a disaster and that one of the best things we can do is increase the supply of housing.

@honestdaave Scarcity is manufactured. I'm asking you to step back and apply a race and class analysis to everything you look at, including housing.
