Because no matter how forgettable the song or braindead the video, it must be said that Miley is ascending the everest of self-objectification with her white-tankini-or-nothing-at-all routine and is certainly making the most of her 15 minutes of nubility:

Hmmm, "Directed by Terry Richardson". Perhaps not self-objectification then?

Its hilarious, though entirely unsurprising, to see this happening to both Silverman AND Carrier (the self described 'intellectual artillery' of A+). They deserve absolutely no sympathy for aligning themselves with these fanatic ideologues.

These SJW types must really have no idea what the real world is actually like outside of their tiny self-contained internet bubbles. When you actually go out into the real world and have face to face, human interactions with other primates you will almost never encounter a homogeneous set of opinions on every silly issue, as the SJWs would like.

Anyway, just stopping in with a brief comment. I still regularly lurk here as it is a pretty great source of entertainment.

I long for the day when they do that to Doctor Myers-Moreau himself. Dick Carrier is small potatoes, despite what he thinks of himself.

When they run out of, or no longer have the weapons to reach external 'enemies' (I think the Shermer allegation proves this) they will savagely consume themselves. It's glorious.

Myers isn't safe from it; Hence the obsequiousness to Watson who still seems the spiritual figurehead of this movement, I suspect because she achieved the greatest success in trolling Dawkins.

I've been wondering about this possibility from the beginning of that entire mess - that Shermer might be smarter to play the long game and just let the whole thing fade away, determining if there are any real world costs to himself before invoking the expensive nuclear option of a lawsuit (and the long window of inactivity might well be an indicator of that strategy). For instance, how often does this subject even show on anyone's radar at the moment? The modern media/news cycle has gotten to the point that it seems to be measured in days and hours and Shermer may well recognize this as it fades from 'old news' to 'no news'. Combined with Peezus' rapidly shrinking range of effectiveness, the only material damage could well be to Peezus himself (to his reputation, such as it is) and not Shermer in the long run.

Personally, I would still like to see Shermer use that leverage in some form to shut Peezus/FftB down and scatter those creeps to the internet winds. What a wonderful day that would be, but I figure they will do it to themselves in the fullness of time.

If he lets it go, the horde will be emboldened and bring back the accusations stronger than ever. Shermer will always be known as the rapist, it won't go away. It won't go away even if Shermer wins his lawsuit, but it will slow it down... some. Maybe they will think twice before accusing someone of a serious crime (ha ha, no they won't) without proof. He should follow through with this or he will have to live with the consequences. And yes, I'm probably not being objective, wanting PZ to suffer something for being such an asshat.

Carrier, fuck you and your Titanic sized ego into the ground, hmm? OK? OK.

I don’t think I have ever come across anyone as self-deluded as Richard Carrier. Has anyone here commented on his auction contribution?

If so, I’m sorry to bring it up again. But it is just sooooo good. He describes what he is auctioning. Speaking once again in 3rd person he notes that there will be an auction of “a piece of unusual Richard Carrier memorabilia.” The description, which clearly he wrote, adds:

• This is a rare treat
• In fact, it’s unique
• It’s a book endorsed by Dembski, but that’s not what makes it special
• The special thing is that this specific volume was bought by Richard Carrier
• And [oh my!] he extensively annotated the margins of nearly every page
• This is a rare piece of History
• Dr. Carrier is at last [I kid you not—it reads at last] giving it up to posterity

He adds that he hopes whoever wins it keeps it safe “since it is definitely a unique piece of minor history”

I'm inclined to have that as my first reaction as well, but I'm not fully convinced of the reality of it. Peezus and friends operate in an increasingly isolated circle. Sure, the initial accusation got him some major hit traffic, but it also fatally fried a lot of his connections. Even he alluded as much. Every day it seems another formerly silent or neutral voice stands up to push back at them. They may still try it again in the future, but the audience will continue to shrink. Even the more high profile targets such as Dawkins are recognizing that the best thing is just to ignore the miscreants. On top of that, we are also seeing more of the "Oh, for fuck's sake, what are those assclowns up to NOW!?!?!" reaction from a much broader audience, whereas it used to be more-or-less unique to the Pyt. It has been a slow, painfully slow, process, but it seems to be moving in that direction.

That's one of the reasons I'm independent. But it swings both ways. We have 'Obamacare' which is the most evil thing ever, only it's the same fucking health care plan the Republicans were endorsing back during the Clinton administration. Back then it was a 'good thing,' now it's 'the root of all evil.'

It's required at places to keep "clean shaven" have "trimmed hair" "wear a full suit" etc etc....please in regards to how women are "allowed" to look and dress....it's sexist towards men. Women have it easy. Life on easy-mode!

Not in this instance. Requiring women to wear makeup is one thing. Requiring them to look like a Drag Queen is another. And women should be allowed to go makeupless if they want.

This is clearly a legitimate feminist issue IMO. Not the bullshit the SJW feminists are focusing on. These kind of requirements is where they should put their energy, but they would rather focus on perceived rape intentions of individual men of which there is no evidence of intended rape.

Priorities.

Actually, it's a uniform issue, not a gender, feminism, whatever issue. Hooters girls are required to look and dress a certain way, just as Chip-n-Dale dancers are. It is a uniform and if you want the job, you wear the uniform. It is a part of the job, which is different from say granting sexual favors, which is not part of the job (unless you are a hooker in Vegas).

A Colorado woman is accused of beating to death a homeless man she suspected of molesting a child.

Police said 33-year-old Forsythia Owen admitted to killing Denzel Rainey after a child told her the man had sexually abused her.

The 42-year-old Rainey’s body was found early Sunday in an Englewood, Colo., alley with head lacerations and a fractured skull.

Both of Rainey’s arms, six ribs and his left hand were also broken, investigators said.

He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

According to court documents, Owen told police she’d beaten Rainey to death with a baseball bat after she learned of the molestation and went to the alley where he slept.

Rainey’s widow said her husband had been struggling with alcohol abuse and recently became homeless.

She said he would never have hurt a child.

Owen was charged with first-degree murder and remains held without bond at Arapahoe County Detention Facility.

We have 'Obamacare' which is the most evil thing ever, only it's the same fucking health care plan the Republicans were endorsing back during the Clinton administration. Back then it was a 'good thing,' now it's 'the root of all evil.'

The fact that the republican option, over time, becomes the "liberal" option should be a sign that there really isn't much of a divide between parties, except on social stuff. The two-party system works really well to divide people against each other and then, as with orwellian doublethink, both parties can simply choose to ignore a particular political or social issue. Suddenly, it disappears from American discourse.

This happens with legal inequities enshrined in law which men face (selective service, bitches!), it happens with gay rights (whenever liberals choose to ignore the plight of homosexuals, it's off the table for a while, as with Clinton's Don't Ask Don't Tell), it happens with torture and drone strikes (both mainstream parties are cool with drone strikes) and you damn well better believe it happens with war. When both parties are warmongers, the pacifist side of US political discourse is just fucking gone. Nobody reports on it, it's considered radical.

Our political system exploits binary thinking (republican/democrat) in order to sweep certain issues off the table entirely. Except for small third parties, but those almost never win elections and not having the money of the main parties is certainly part of the problem there. Hopefully the 2016 election will be a huge upset, and third parties will get tons of votes. The main two parties simply do not represent the average American I meet on the streets. I think we're all starting to realize this.

Squirrels!! sometimes show cannibalistic behavior. They raid other squirrels nests and eat their babies, head first, sometimes they also eat mice in the same way.

And guess what those cute, innocent pandas get up to, when they think no one's looking?

At this current junction supply side economics is as rational/skeptical as Bigfoot or creationism.

There has never been a junction where a belief in infinite growth on a finite planet was rational. Temporarily not fatal? Sure. Rational? Never.

I don’t think I have ever come across anyone as self-deluded as Richard Carrier. Has anyone here commented on his auction contribution?

If so, I’m sorry to bring it up again. But it is just sooooo good. He describes what he is auctioning. Speaking once again in 3rd person he notes that there will be an auction of “a piece of unusual Richard Carrier memorabilia.” The description, which clearly he wrote, adds:

• This is a rare treat
• In fact, it’s unique
• It’s a book endorsed by Dembski, but that’s not what makes it special
• The special thing is that this specific volume was bought by Richard Carrier
• And [oh my!] he extensively annotated the margins of nearly every page
• This is a rare piece of History
• Dr. Carrier is at last [I kid you not—it reads at last] giving it up to posterity

He adds that he hopes whoever wins it keeps it safe “since it is definitely a unique piece of minor history”

*barf*

You think that's narcissistic? You should see his bathroom.

I have in my possession a CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics annoted on almost every page in crayon by my daughter when she was about 3. (we used it as a booster seat for her at the kitchen table) Any bids? (postage extra)

Ophelia has a cut 'n' paste post about research on stereotypes that discourage women from enrolling in computer science programs. I decided to check whether there really was a Stereotypes Identity and Belonging Lab, and yes indeed there is such a thing: http://depts.washington.edu/sibl/research.html

Here's the abstract from one of their publications:

Ambient belonging: how stereotypical cues impact gender participation in computer science.

Abstract
People can make decisions to join a group based solely on exposure to that group's physical environment. Four studies demonstrate that the gender difference in interest in computer science is influenced by exposure to environments associated with computer scientists. In Study 1, simply changing the objects in a computer science classroom from those considered stereotypical of computer science (e.g., Star Trek poster, video games) to objects not considered stereotypical of computer science (e.g., nature poster, phone books) was sufficient to boost female undergraduates' interest in computer science to the level of their male peers. Further investigation revealed that the stereotypical broadcast a masculine stereotype that discouraged women's sense of ambient belonging and subsequent interest in the environment (Studies 2, 3, and 4) but had no similar effect on men (Studies 3, 4). This masculine stereotype prevented women's interest from developing even in environments entirely populated by other women (Study 2). Objects can thus come to broadcast stereotypes of a group, which in turn can deter people who do not identify with these stereotypes from joining that group.
PMID: 19968418

Deterred from pursuing a degree in a possible subject of interest by Star Trek posters? Really? Attracted by the presence of phone books? Who the fuck under the age of 75 uses phone books these days anyway? Are all women supposed to be so shallow that they allow room decor to sway their preferences for fields of study? I can't believe that shite gets funded. WTFveganBBQ.

It's required at places to keep "clean shaven" have "trimmed hair" "wear a full suit" etc etc....please in regards to how women are "allowed" to look and dress....it's sexist towards men. Women have it easy. Life on easy-mode!

Not in this instance. Requiring women to wear makeup is one thing. Requiring them to look like a Drag Queen is another. And women should be allowed to go makeupless if they want.

This is clearly a legitimate feminist issue IMO. Not the bullshit the SJW feminists are focusing on. These kind of requirements is where they should put their energy, but they would rather focus on perceived rape intentions of individual men of which there is no evidence of intended rape.

Priorities.

Actually, it's a uniform issue, not a gender, feminism, whatever issue. Hooters girls are required to look and dress a certain way, just as Chip-n-Dale dancers are. It is a uniform and if you want the job, you wear the uniform. It is a part of the job, which is different from say granting sexual favors, which is not part of the job (unless you are a hooker in Vegas).

Well, that's what the Supreme Court argued, but they were negligent in their decision, IMO. First of all, a company should be obligated to fully disclose their "uniform" requirement before they hire -- at the very least. Secondly, the job I accepted is not at a Tilted Kilt or Hooters, it's at a high end coffee shop. By this logic, Microsoft could require all their female employees to just wear bras without shirts or tight miniskirts as part of their uniform.

It's a terrible law. It totally perpetuates gender stereotypes. While I actually do like makeup, I shouldn't be forced to wear a certain type when it wasn't disclosed up front as part of the uniform. Of course, if I accepted a job at Hooters and made a stink about the uniform, that would remiss on my part, but in this situation, it's pure sexism. And this is coming from a woman who finds feminism in the U.S. fairly unnecessary. Just because the SJW and A+ crowd are assholes, doesn't mean that genuine sexism never happens. It happens. It happens rarely, but it does happen in this instance, the Supreme Court got it wrong (although I don't think it was done in the spirit of misogyny, I think it was done in the spirit of business rights).

I wear a uniform at my other job -- the private club and have no problem with that. Telling a woman she needs to wear heavy makeup OTOH, in order to appear "sexier" or "prettier", or be fired, is sexist.

Heh. Ophelia has some APlussers on her butt for being an anti-Muslim bigot.

And gee, PZ was just giving Condell shit for the commenters he "sent over" (Pat didn't) claiming feminists were soft on Islamic atrocities.

Oh, and PZ just posted a pic he agreed to do for a charity milestone: the Mad Naked Pirate. His title, not mine.

THIS IS NOT A PHOTOSHOP.

Meyers has a photo of himself naked (chest upwards) but for a HILARIOUS pirate hat. This was the HILARIOUS forfeit he made for a charity fundraising reaching a certain amount. HILARIOUS, I'm sure you'll agree.

Hasn't he got an oddly hairless body. And if you go to the original (http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/ ... pirate.jpg Notice he calls it "MADnakedpirate". Thanks for showing your mental ability privilege, Meyers) and zoom in, you'll see a nose brutalized by years of drink, apparently.

The South America episode is showing on my local PBS station starting in about 25 minutes. They're promising Andean condors and scarlet macaws ....
