Hemant 'There's No BBQ in LGBTQ' Mehta thinks an atheist president would be super, but only the right kind of atheist:

https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/201 ... ot-enough/
A politician who fights for social justice, and health care, and civil rights — who also happens to reject God — would go a long way to changing what Americans think about atheists. (That said, it would be disastrous if that atheist president supported the current Republican agenda. It would be bad for atheists’ image and it would be bad for the country.)

Skepchick just dragged Sara Mayhew into a comparison war. There may be more troubles ahead........

“Many years ago I was regularly harassed by a batty woman named Sara Mayhew. She did a lot of truly shitty things to both me and the other Skepchick writers, and her usual MO was to lie about, well, everything. For instance she claimed that I once made anti-semitic jokes about her, saying someone overheard me at a bar in Austin, Texas. A bar that I was never in, because it doesn’t actually exist. Also I had no idea she was Jewish. Despite that, she managed to get a Jewish anti-bullying organization to offer to help her.

She said a lot of things over the years that could definitely fall under the category of “defamatory,” and by the time the Jewish stuff came up I finally spoke with a lawyer. And the lawyer wisely pointed out that, essentially, she’s clearly a moron, and legal action would not get her to shut up. In fact, it might make her even more annoying. Ultimately, I had to accept that the court system is not there to be my parent, and to send someone to her room for being a little shit. Ignoring her was the only path, and sure enough it’s been several years now and this is honestly the first I’ve thought about her since that time. Everything she tried to do to libel me, including starting a knock-off Skepchick site, failed miserably.

My point here is that if Carrier had done this, he wouldn’t currently be known as a litigious creep. A woman posted something on Facebook that he didn’t agree with. A few other women agreed. Richard Carrier himself agreed that he had violated the Secular Student Alliance’s contract that prohibited speakers having sex with students. A student conference that didn’t even pay honorariums disinvited him. A blogging network asked for his side of the story.“

So anyway, thanks to all who pointed out that http requests have a field for the IP, and therefore all us well.

My lawyer had no idea that such a thing as a computer even existed. He keeps his records on an abacus. Also, I just phoned Facebook support and I have like five people running around doing stuff for me.

No way a hick jury would convict a man without an IP verification, and am pretty sure tgat is in the manual they require all jurors to read. You'd be surprised at how eager the state's attorney here seek truth and justice rather than racking up statistics.

The thing I find amazing is that he seems to have come from a parallel dimension, where Rebecca Watson fell down an elevator shaft & PewDiePie currently vies for the #1 youtube spot against The Amazing Atheist.

Funny: one day he's rehashing Dillhunty's talking points against that transphobe Jordan Peterson... next day it's his turn to be the transphobe for Dillahunty's woke atheists

It looks like one of the most fun trials of the year is now underway! Oberlin College is being sued by Gibson's Bakery. Here's a highlight from the very first day of the trial:
“The concern was that the students were angry?” Plakas asked. “The fear was that angry students would throw food [made by Gibson’s] on the floor [of the cafeteria] and stomp on it?”

“Yes, that was one of the concerns,” Protzman answered.

“Doesn’t that sound more like a nursery school than a college?” Plakas continued.

“Nursery school students do throw food on the floor, yes,” Protzman said, adding “We are not the students’ parents,” as the reason the school could not tell the students to quit threatening to throw food on the floor and eat their dinner like nice people do.
See https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/g ... out-there/

Here's the background: You might recall that two-and-some years ago, three Oberlin students tried to shoplift bottles of wine from a local store, Gibson's Bakery. When the shopkeeper tried to stop them, he ended up on the ground with the three students kicking and punching him. However, the students were black and the shop owners white, so instantly the Oberlin student body decided that the store was racist and started protesting. Eventually the three students plead guilty to misdemeanors. Now the bakery is suing the college and some of the administrators, claiming that they defamed the store and are trying to put it out of business.

Legal Insurrection is covering the story and promises to not only have a reporter there every day to write a daily summary. (Oberlin College issued them a subpoena trying to get the sources for all the articles they've written about this affair! I guess that they think this is now personal.)

Friday was the first day of the trial, and here's their summary: https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/g ... out-there/
Here's a summary of the incident and the first events of the lawsuit: https://legalinsurrection.com/2017/11/g ... ness-ties/
Here's their report about the subpoena: https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/07/o ... ions-ours/

Well, given that fees at Oberlin are around $80,000, those poor students needed to economize somehow. Boosting a few bottles of wine seems mild, even innocuous.

Sometimes, at work, flatpack furniture needs to be assembled. I've come to call this the IKEA Test. A real-world IQ test, in which I quietly judge which of my co-workers is retarded at spatial visualization. Sadly, the test began with a black guy who I really like-- who is also kind & decent & pleasant to be-around-- but who couldn't build this side-table thing-- if his life depended on it.

"Every Time"** (**or not. my confirmation bias, my selective-memory, etc.) there's "always" some brown or black guy who puts the things together with parts sticking-out wrong ways or upside-down. To their credit... those guys actually go-for-it & try to build the thing & blatantly fail, like honest competitors. White and fancy-asian women, on the other hand, barely start working... before they quit at the slightest setback.

This week is a novelty-- a lesbian hired a klavern of more-lesbians. New stereotypes I'm learning: Lesbians are very messy, & they can't follow instructions, and they confidently/mindlessly disagree with every single thing proposed at a crew meeting-- except whatever the grade-school-teacher-like Head Lesbian says.

And one of them wore a hoodie similar to this trendy streetwear logo...
https://www.nativeskatestore.co.uk/imag ... _image.jpg
Except her hoodie said "PALESTINE" on the sides of the triangle.

If you're going to wear a garment declaring your race/nationality/religion to the world... maybe you shouldn't do anything that makes your group look like retards.

This chick made a rat's nest of packing-material all-around her. She kept groaning and declaring the chair-building task 'hard'. And, she gave-up-on using the little turning-cylindrical things which grab onto to the heads of the internal machine screws... which holds the furniture together...

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7a6X-_q2vo0/hqdefault.jpg

Her final, amazing, farewell to any semblance of trying to do a passable job... was her announcing aloud, 'I don't think anyone is actually going to sit in these chairs, anyway.'

Palestine.

Similarly it was great to see Farage knocking back Andrew Marr who had clearly been told to do a hatchet job on Farage, and throw as many random questions (what about people with HIV?) at Farage because Farage is leading in the polls.

Has there been any honest media coverage of the assault(s) on candidate Tommy Robinson and the failure of the police to protect him? By honest, I mean not spinning the story as "Poor innocent POC punched by far right EDL founder".

I found this interview with David Starkey quite interesting. Others may not find it so interesting, nevertheless I like the historical perspective he gives and the idea that the British democratic tradition begun with the Magna Carta has now run it's course.

Things are not going so well for Carl Benjamin's campaign either.

With the current polling of UKIP, Farrage's comments, and the antipathy of the media & political establishments, I'm not sure what difference will be made.

Vee seems to think that CB is setting himself up to be an example of the media & political bias in the UK.

Election date 23rd May - after which we will see how close his relationship to UKIP remains and if his point is proven.

I was glad to see Marr asking him if he stood by his own words, much like a twitter account/poster campaign did when he *ahem* "led" that ridiculous walk to London a couple of months ago: https://twitter.com/ByDonkeys?lang=en
And yet still a more appealing prospect than the lying, absurdly stubborn lunatic May, Vince 'faltering replicant' Cable and *shudder* Corbyn.

Was she really on your radar Bhurzum?

I reckon I'm probably the only person on this board that has watched a Dorris Day movie recently. (It was 'The Glass Bottom Boat' with Rod Taylor, and within the last four months).

Still, she seemed like a nice person...

She did a lot for animals. We applied for a DDAF grant this past year, but didn't get it, though.

My ex-wife was a huge fan, something she got from her parents. "Calamity Jane" was Christmas day mandatory viewing in our house and as such, I had a certain fondness for her. Also, her work/activism on behalf of animals was well known to us.

Not a major part of my life but certainly someone I'm sad to see go.

Doris Day is dead you say? ... How sad. Now I'm going to shout it from the highest hill.

RIP Dot :(
