A youtuber I sometimes watch uploaded a video called "So I'm in the Epstein Files" which is the most unhinged clickbait I've seen so far. She wrote a scathing critique of Lawrence Krauss for defending Epstein and he was complaining about it to Epstein in emails. Well played, I did end up watching the video.

Ahhh, Rebecca Watson, Dark Mother of the atheist/skeptic movement. I like her content when she isn't trash-talking AES countries.

Don't you know, skepticism stops before questioning Liberalism. Liberalism is unassailable, truly the best thing humans have ever made. agony-deep

RationalWiki

All their articles related to communism are such complete garbage. Actually unreadable

It also uses lots and lots of emotionally charged language, seemingly at odds with it being "Rational",

I'm not surprised. She's better than any other member or former member of the skeptic movement that I'm aware of but I don't expect much from them.

PZ Myers is pretty good I think, but can never quite shake off the lib at the end of the day (true of Rebecca Watson too). Anyone know how Greta Christina turned out?

I just watch Potholer54 like once a year when he lays out all the new quacks to look out for.
