PZ is on the Silverman case and this time it's not a grenade. It's a bombshell! http://archive.is/Nw0Ka I know what’s going on, and it’s been building for a while. It’s not just AA that’s investigating some allegations, but another organization as well, and the atheist movement is about to get anot...

Looking at how much Silverman's pay has gone up vs. the rate at which Reason Rally attendance has gone down would be enough for me to give him the boot.

Peezy couldn't move printings of The Copy Pasteist if he left them lying on the curb with a $5 taped to each copy.

Myers now seems to occupy the position of the coattail rider for other Z-list slacktivists. Most of his few remaining Hordelings have a larger social media presence than him now.

This is a man who went from Dawkins's pal to Dawkins's flea to the dust mite clinging to the backs of his fleas.

Most of the people in that twitter thread think it don't prove nuttin', but at least one bright bulb thinks it does prove that 2% of respondents are open Nazis.

I presume that no dishonest actors hostile to Jerry could have possibly been among the respondents. Surely.

"Infested" in this case meaning "Matt and Aneris post there."

Of course in the increasingly tiny and incestuous circles PZ still travels in he knows saying such will make them assume without even checking that Jerry's got dozens of pitizens hanging around his site. What a turd.

Access to quality education is one factor. But just pumping money into inner city schools has failed to have any effect. Lack of valuation of education among the urban black subculture is a critical factor. You also can't operate a functioning school when the inmates students are not well-behaved o...

They still play the uncut version on my local station, which is a nationally owned iHeartRadio (formerly Clear Channel) station.

Forgive the kiwi farms-ism but the term they use is "ratking", especially when said group is focused around one exceptionally bad person e.g. Brianna Wu. I don't think the term is trans-Pacific trans-specific, I think it just refers to any group of horrible people all bound up in each other's horri...

Carrol O'Connor was very liberal though and Archie was a character. Roseanne is playing herself but fictionalized.

Jonathan Pie is very much on the left. He's far to the left of Bernie Sanders, in some respects. He's a self-described socialist who has supported Jeremy Corbyn, is very anti-austerity, anti-corporate politics, pro-working class. I'm not gonna say I'm a super-fan but Pie is definitely my kind of li...

Identity politics itself is what I'm against.

Myers, you're seriously sick in the head.

A government doesn't necessarily make the same moral judgements you or I might make, which is why I distrust it and distrust giving it extend state-of-exception powers. I think those powers will be abused or mis-used as we have seen. A *that* is what I think may be a price we need to pay, if we are...

FFRF ditches Krauss.
Jerry puts up a post where he comes down against Krauss and doesn't allow comments.
Jerry is speaking at a FFRF event on Wednesday.
Probably just a coincidence. Someone will reply to this saying "he could not have done otherwise."

In the comics and Norse myth, Valkyrie was a fair-skinned, blonde, Viking warrior-woman. In this film, she is played by Afro-Panamanian actress Tessa Thompson. According to Taika Waititi, this was a not deliberate decision to diversify the film, but to choose the best person: "You're working with c...

Dillahunty's like Carrier: He was an apologist for these sorts of people when the were going after others although he never to my knowledge directly engaged in smearing and slandering anyone else.

Fuck me the absolute OTT hatred being poured at the guy. He's taken a *very weak* stance on the matter but it's not good enough for these people. A weak stance is worse than a strong stance in the opposite direction. The person extremists hate most isn't their exact opposite, it's people who are 99...

Wow. Adam Lee lies about what a fellow atheist said. In other news, the Sun rose this morning. What I love is how they turn on one another. How long before Dilahunty is accused? How long before Lee is brought up on his short leash? It is inevitable, and as has been pointed out, they were warned. Ye...

If Vox is right then it's a coming of age you go girl movie about the power of love to triumph. A movie about space travel via the 5th dimension where love conquers all?

I had long hair in the Sixties. I got 'misgendered' and 'mispronouned' all the time, and maliciously so. I did not collapse into a helpless, quivering ball or throw an infantile temper tantrum.

Geez, what happens when you can't find people willing to staff the Executive branch? I don't think this is an outcome the Founders ever foresaw.

I think any "rebranding" would have to include a complete name switch, since they're very much pigeonholed into the whole "UK Independence" thing and it's always gonna be the first and often only thing people think when they hear the name. And at that point what's the difference in just starting a n...

Jerry has a post up wherein he declares that the music he listened to from the ages of 12-18 was the best music humanity ever produced, period, and that anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

This is so funny. Not content with having 4 leaders in the space of 18 months plus added infighting plus a plummeting vote at the last general election. The recently ousted ex leader with his on/off/on relationship with a racist "model" now plans to start his own party. Talk bout splitters! MWSnap0...

Clean your own house first, PZ... He's been on just about every biology search/hiring committee for the past decade, sometimes sitting as chairman.

Change the headline to "Antifa just drizzled."

Jerry puts a post up about a man who is sad that his "cheese sandwich" he bought was just bread and a single thin slice of cheese, which is perhaps justifiable. He then posts a bunch of pictures of other sandwiches which all appear fine (I mean, for a pre-packaged sandwich kept in a fridge), complai...

In the case of failing to properly defend Roe, I wonder if there's a type of argument similar to Motte and Bailey except the peasants are out getting slaughtered in the bailey because they're too stupid to take refuge in the motte.

So I think his position, in truth, breaks into a stance on responsibility. The video didn't really get into any of this though, just showed pillocks arguing that abortion up to 9 months is fine - I recognise it may have been edited. A miniature version of this discussion just popped up over at Jerr...

I'll admit to knowing little about Corbyn, but I have to think many European "socialists" are looking at their social democratic neighbors, AKA capitalist states with robust social safety nets and maybe a nationalized railway or health service, not at failing states across the globe.

Sanders HAS praised the Women's March leaders As did the majority of the Democratic establishment, but when it comes time to divvy up the blame, well fuck, let's let the Berniecrats have the full share. We're blameless. This is just the kind of thing Those People do, not us. Your fault for not voti...

It's even worse than that. You can be very much to the left, but not an identitarian, and the SocJus will still come after you. Remember how Bernie Sanders, who's far more of a leftist economically than Hillary Clinton, was attacked because his supporters were described as "BernieBros" since he was...

Really? wrote: ↑ Harris sets him straight

Please, Arel is too crooked ever be set straight by anyone.

Trump's so smart. Tanking the economy in an election year is just the kind of unorthodox, left-field tactic only his brilliant mind could come up with. I hope Republicans trying to do damage control are very satisfied with their leader right now.

For those who haven't heard of the latest brouhaha, three of the "Women's March" leaders, including the now infamous Linda Sarsour, have been caught being chummy with the leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, a man whose ideas about Jews are pretty much the same as those of many neo-nazis...

Peez's motive is to drag others down because he's incapable of pulling himself up. That's all it will ever be. He's a bully to those below him and a pest to those above. He is misanthropy incarnate and if his bad eating habits don't kill him he'll wind up alone in a nursing home someday.

Jerry makes a post about the NYT using the "little people" argument. Second comment is someone grousing that "little people" these days refers to "short people," by which she means dwarfs/midgets. Jerry's response: I’ve talked about the “Little People” argument before, so look it up before you start...

If PJW was a bloke in a pub I’d keep the rounds coming just for the fun of it. The problem kicks in if you foolishly elevate these people to social analysts and seekers of truth.
