Steersman, I thought I'd draw your attention to this thread over at the International Skeptics:
Trans women are not women (IX)

You will never be forgiven for this, fafnir.

Welcome to the Pit, Mr. Silverman.

I just hope he picks a clever handle.

Is "MRA former theist pants" available?

Half-pology to Vacula around 62 minutes in.

Interesting video.

Dave Silverman solicits red/blue/purple pills:

Count Vacula is currently mentioned in a FA article. He's won a long-running court case (the usual FFRF stuff)...

Was that her?

Presswood and Dillahunty are named in the amended complaint, dated 14 Aug 2019.

Seems like a fair inference.

Didn't Mueller's office come out and explicitly say a story was false? Sort of. The report says that members of the Trump campaign did not coordinate directly with officials from the Russian government . We don't yet know what the report says about non-member agents working on orders from the Trump...

Fair enough, Marcus, but there was no way to know back in the day that she would eventually default on her backers for the book project.

Unlike this fundraiser it wasn't foreseeable that Heina's project would be aborted well before being born.

Still can't find the part where CBF said Kav raped anyone.

Seems like you're exaggerating her claims, in an effort to make her seem extra cunty.

False rape accuser, Christine Blasey Ford-- who told the Washington Post she was attacked by 4 boys. Later, she said 2 weren't involved. Then she decided a 3rd, Mark Judge, was more of a shocked bystander than a participant. Yet her remaining accusation was "credible". Whom did she accuse of rape, ...

I didn't dig too deep into this one, Brive.

Are there any particularly outstanding examples of American media organizations defaming this kid, in the relevant legal sense?

Another significant qualitative difference is the likely means of appropriating the building funds, whether through the ordinary budgeting process or via the pretense of national emergency.

Was the 600 miles of Democrat wall equally apocalyptic? Of course not. How will the additional 100 miles of Trump extension (off the $5 billion) be qualitatively different? The qualitative difference is that the first 600 miles were not the result of a bait-and-switch electoral strategy respecting ...

The thing with Warren is that it wasn't even a misstep on her part. She actually has Native American ancestry, albeit not much, and in a way that doesn't count according to tribal rules. Rules which are rooted in the idea that the Dawes Rolls are somehow fair and definitive rather than a top-down f...

For now Trump's approval rating is still around 85% among Republicans. That's a lot. His approval rating is non-existent among Democrats and dismal among Independents, but the Red Team still loves him, more than they liked Dubya. This is the most perplexing thing about trump's presidency so far. I ...

My prediction for 2019 is that Trump will limp on towards 2020, becoming more and more deranged as he has to deal with legal trouble, accusing everyone of having betrayed him and conspiring against him, and trying to do meaningless virtue-signalling for his fanbase. There's probably going to be som...

The graph is a bit of a stretch. Some of those people are genuinely awful. Other are more clueless.

Have you heard that the shooter blamed HIAS for the Honduran caravan in particular?

And now a word from Richard Dawkins . . .

The rightardation of Brive (and others...) was the natural conclusion of the pyt since any community that focuses so intensely on any particular culture war issue like that (SJWs in muh) will end up so if it doesn't already attract weirdos (it did, though I'm glad Steersman is still out of jail).

Or as little as 1/1024 South American. Which places the injection back in the 1600s.

So, I'm at CSICON 2018 in Vegas. This is their 3rd one in Vegas since basically filling in the void of TAM. Really enjoying it. Every year, seems more TAM like.

As an aside, Kavin is supposed to be a Co-host along with CFI LA Executive Director Jim Underdown of CFI's Point of Inquiry podcast.

Sans material evidence, it’s a balance of probability thing. If I knew Brett and Mark were little shits .. If I knew Christi was a paragon ..

In this case we know they were together. We can assess their character in timely context. We know Christi demonstrated an observable reaction. There is a substantiated basis for the complaint.

I refer you back to JohnD’s MarkC video above, which cogently argues that we are missing an objective basis to assess unsubstantiated accusations.

I thought Kaiser (sic?) was a required participant? I mentioned her above. Not sure what you mean by "required" here.
