If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

How dare they assume that baby's gender. Does PZ know it identifies as a grandson?

It can, if you have it enabled. Can't remember if it's on by default though.

DC comics is incorporating Dr. Manhattan of Watchmen into their superhero universe. They must think that more blue dong will make them competitive with Marvel. Alan Moore must be turning over in his grave. I know he's still alive, but I bet he sleeps in a coffin. The original idea was to use DC com...

So the new TV show The Expanse on SyFy channel had its first episode. Pretty good. Awesome (in the real sense of the word) special effects. No aliens. But the diversification of humanity is great. They don't overplay typical cultural stereotypes when dealing with different people. They are segmente...

And by that, I mean have the forum use HTML5.

FT, is there a reason I can't play embedded YouTube videos from my phone anymore? All I get is a great box that says "this plugin is not supported". It's been going on for about two or three weeks now, and it only happens here. Newer android versions have eliminated flash as a security problem, and...

Hey Fascist Tit: is there any way to make Youtube embeds use the HTML5 player instead of Flash? I've seen it done on other forums.

PZ is endorsing that "more than two sexes" nonsense:

I've noticed the tweets on the Secular Women Work hashtag have nothing to with secularism.

Today in "Nobody likes male feminists":

FTB is down. I'm sure it's the pit's fault somehow.

That is, schism-milking and copypasta.

I wonder if Oafie will return to proper blogging like she used to do a decade ago, or will she continue to copy and paste from elsewhere and punctuate it with her own bland comments? Well she's going to milk the schism for at least another month, then I'll say option B. I took a look at her new/old...

I think that Ophelia Benson did Elizabeth Hungerford a huge favor by banning her from B&W. There was zero chance of any of the B&W regulars listening and learning, no matter how much effort was put into the comments. However, I don't think that the banning was meant to be a favor; rather, it had to...

Also, about the "Reproductive Justice" workshop (blurb: "...what we can do on this front beyond protecting abortion clinics") - might some activists not see that one as potentially invisibilizing some women?

Read this. Noah lodged a complaint to the management of Queenâ€™s Court and received an email confirming they were aware of the incident. But Noah and Georgia are still unhappy.

Oh, he wrote a post about it too:

I think he's trying a reboot of his site. He's finally realized that he has a clique of crazies who are driving most of his traffic away. Taking the Lounge and TD away is his way of telling them to fuck off. Not a principled stand, just a pragmatic one. I don't think it'll work. That clique of craz...

The Lounge is now officially and permanently closed. Thank you for your participation.

Elyse Anders took her tweets protected. One less source of crazy to gawk at.

Ophie's pet gay has appeared on Not Thunderdome:

HAHAHAHA. Holms the ever-retarded has this to say about Ophie and her angry thread: It seems likely to me that CuriousOnLooker / TransPerson is a shit-stirrer from slymepit, and it would not surprise me if this entire thing is ginned up by various stealth accounts / fresh accounts of theirs.

The comments there are great. It's also made it to the Lounge because one of PZ's regulars is in a snit.

I notice Avicenna still hasn't changed his twitter bio, where he proudly mentions being with FTB.

"non-continuous internet"

This is the sort of nonsense you hear when a procedural cop show does a cybercrime episode.

Peezus attempts to make a defence of Avi in his latest post. Pays much attention to one tweet which clearly wasn't meant to be taken seriously and - inevitably - makes noises that he suspects Avi's 'persecution' is down to racism. Guess Peez must be thanking the play-doh Watson idol he keeps in his...

The Leelah Alcorn thread over at Pizzle's is pretty amusing.

She used to have a dating profile under the wmdkitty name. It should surprise no one that she's a furry.
