I realize I am late to this, but I just want to say: As a comedian, I so, so want to see Rebecca Watson do a comedy open mic JUST ONCE. That is how you learn how to be not funny.

Abbie : Virology (ERV, to be precise) John C. Welch : IT, published author, three books, two assists, one solo. One of the assists was the only book, that I'm aware of on OS X Server 1.X, and sold quite well for a bit. dresq : Clinical and forensic psychology Skep Tickle : M.D Barn Owl : Teaching a...

Ed Brayton wants people to sign Adam Lee's petition. This is a somewhat unusual, as Brayton views (viewed?) petitions as pointless, slacktavistic, intellectual masturbation exercises. Indeed, only two months ago, Brayton had a post on his blog about the utter futility of such petitions. Makes you w...

Nobel Laureate Rita Levi-Montalcini died today. She was 103 fucking years old. She, ladies and gentlemen, was a fucking proper feminist. There was no fucking whining white-girl bullshit from her!

Hooray!

Oops. I tore into you and posted before I saw this. Sorry about that.

Justin, have you contacted a lawyer about any of this? Note that while I AM NOT A LAWYER (not yet, anyway), it appears to my uneducated eye that you would have a Fair Use claim. Certainly you could find a lawyer willing to work on a pro bono basis for you, right? I don't want or intend to go to cou...

Jen McCreight 's Atheism+ will ultimately be as successful as Google+. Which is to say, it might be around for a while, but everyone outside of it will go "they are still around?"

I realize I just made a very easy observation, but hey, I am a comedian. Easy observations are part of what I do.

He also apparently relates it somehow to him being scared of a dog. I'm not really sure, I really had no desire to read through his incredibly long shitefest....

I am really not confortable with involving anyone other than PZ and cie. Can we just drop the sons/daughter stuff? Or am I tone trolling? Well, if it makes you feel better, his daughter is 22 and his son is a soldier. But yeah, I agree with you (even though I was the guy that hunted up his daughter...

Sacha,

The article you are looking for was posted on Skatje Myers's personal blog Lacrimae Rerum, which is no longer around. However, Google and The Wayback Machine never forget. The blog post you are looking for is called Feminism. Look for it towards the end.

I just wanna chime in and say I am quite pleased the rationalia crowd are not backing down from PZ's horde of hapless hacks. But I am a cynical fuck, so I would not be surprised if the baboons win out in the end.

Back to lurking.

Okay, this is sorta off-topic, but I have noticed that a few posters are spelling Justin's last name incorrectly. It is Griffith, not Griffiths. No S at the end. GET IT FUCKING RIGHT. The fact that he signs every blog post with Justin Griffith did not clue you guys in, huh? I realize this really doe...
