I mentioned this on Twitter the other day and I'm actually quite serious. I have a server with oodles of space (plus the ability to upgrade easily). Many of us are tired of FTB, Skepchicks, A+ and the like. I'd be more than happy to set up and run a blog conglomerate if enough people were interested. I'm fairly adept in SEO, server admin, and many other areas within running such things. If I find at least 10 people are interested, I'll look into setting things up.

I blogged for years about many things including science (layman's level but still), religion, allsorts of crap. Count me as a volunteer.

Let's do it!

Can I help? I want to bet lots of kudos, but I'm usually too busy scratching my balls, taking a dump, or cracking one out to do any actual blogging - I can be the reGreta equivalent.

Other qualifications? I spent $120 a few years ago for some trail shoes to go hiking in Yellowstone, where, incidentally, and totally at random, I ran into Thunderf00t at the Upper Falls viewpoint in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone:

From Dr. Col. Hall's blog:

“Please try to understand that ‘I like to do it my way’ does not equate to ‘I’m accusing you of being wrong for doing it your way.’” If I say I prefer to cook my chicken by stir-frying, that doesn’t mean I think you are wrong to roast yours, and I’m certainly not trying to tell you that you should switch to stir-frying. I can appreciate that both cooking methods can produce delicious meals.

Oh no, I can almost feel the angry vegan de-railers licking their chops at this obvious carnivore-centric sleight to the herbivorous QUILTBAGS in the aethosphere.

There's already some, er, interesting comments. I did find the pretentious fluff trying to get people to use QUILTBAG as the new magic talisman of power pretty funny (that assumes I read correctly - it was a bit tl:dr to me so I skimmed). Object to queer, but want to be called as something used to haul quilts around - isn't that the definition of "objectifying"?

I despise QUIILTBAG. Also the QU in QUILTBAG represents queer. Wasn't that the word that caused all the kerfuffle?
Incidentally, when I was a young homo I used the word queer because I had heard that lesbians felt left out when you used the word gay, but I received so much blow back when i used it that I switched back to using gay and I no longer care if lesbians feel left out.

I remember running across that clip too. Prior to that, I don't think I'd ever heard of Galloway. I have to say that I really enjoyed it too, listening to him rip the senator a new one in an angry Scottish accent. Did Hitchens and Galloway pretty much hate each other? I seem to remember seeing both of them on a clip from the Bill Maher show and I got the impression of it being rather an awkward moment.

Sorry if anyone has brought this up already but I noticed PZ mentioned that he "really felt this terrible urge to rewrite the whole thing from the ground up" because it has been in the works for so long. Considering the flip-flop PZ has done I wonder if there isn't a large amount of that book that doesn't reflect his feminist side. In fact some parts may beat the shit out of the feminist side of PZ and then light it on fire. I sense a little bit of anxiety I think.

Well, EG has been found doing it again!
Carlos Heredia, 23, admits he and his friend, 25-year-old Trent Wilcox, had been drinking the morning both were arrested at the Mandalay Bay, but he says he remembers everything.
"And Trent Wilcox starts kicking the female out the elevator and she's coming back in laughing like it's funny," Heredia said.
Heredia said he didn't intend to kill anyone and that he's glad the victim is OK.

The true burden of being InZvane:

Am I hard on people? Yes, I’m hard on people sometimes.

Sometimes I am compassionate.

Then I am compassionate.

I am still compassionate.

I understand the temptations of power.

I understand the fear of losing privilege.

I am compassionate, but I am hard.

That makes me compassionate.

It also makes me hard.

MKG: Ophelia originally wrote "PZ" & linked to Pharyngula, then when it was pointed out to her early in the comments that the Pharyngula post was actually by Chris Clarke, she went back & edited her post, striking "PZ" out & putting "Chris Clarke" in. (That was in her B&W post titled "It’s not sexism that’s wrong, it’s calling something sexist that’s wrong". I haven't 'capped it; doesn't seem that noteworthy IMO.)

In a different neck of the FtB woods, one of the comments from PZ's "Got any children you really hate?" thread from Feb 21 wrote:

Sorry if this has been brought up elsewhere already, but it looks like the Pharyngula RSS feed isn’t being updated. The latest item in the feed is Chris Clarke’s “I hate the word moron as an insult” post which is more than 24 hours old.
