If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

We have our latest #metoo heroines . Someone goes to work as an assistant on a sitcom based on juvenile sexual humor and is shocked that raunchy jokes are bouncing around the writers' room. How exactly did she think Friends got written? Also, an adult woman is capable of writing a torrid sex scene b...

Myers claims the moral high ground again by mocking a young man with PTSD just because he doesn't like his mother's politics. I thought PZ doesn't tolerate " making light of a serious mental health problem. " Just think how bad Track Palin would have it if, instead of serving in Iraq, people had bee...

OK, I see what you mean.

Nonbinary pronouns---for when jumping up and down shouting "Look at me! Look at me!" is too subtle.

First the attack at Stuyvesant and now this. Are the fuckers targeting high schools?

Great quote from an unnamed police spokesman:

“He jumped out of the truck with a pellet gun, yelled, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ and the First Precinct lit him up,” a law enforcement official said.

Mrs Macron resigned from her teaching job after her husband became the economy minister, and she became his trusted adviser. Yes, no doubt her experience as a drama teacher gave her all the knowledge and experience she needed to advise her husband on how to run the French economy. How exactly is th...

Fun to watch the little toad squirm. He usually just uses his "You only get those ads because you look at internet porn" defense. He obviously couldn't say that to @HollyDunsworth.

Theresa May ("my Maggie") et al. are being compelled to suck up to Donald Trump. Not quite as embarrassing as having elected him president, but still pretty embarrassing.

I hope the Scientist March will be intersectional and center marginalized sciences like Feminist Glaciology over white patriarchal physics.

Damn, Vicky was just shitposting about McCarthyism anyway...I should have known. Shitposting while taking someone else to task for shitposting.

Virtually every US spy after McCarthyism was motivated by greed or ego not by ideology. McCarthyism really stopped Communism being cool and trendy. You've got that last sentence almost exactly backwards. In the US and UK at least, pro-Soviet communism waned because of Krushchev's Secret Speech and ...

I imagine [RW] has such a busy schedule that it must have been impossible for her to just park like a normal person and walk for five minutes.

I lived in the metro Detroit area for a few years, so I always laugh when idiots think Dearborn has a lot of Muslims or that it has adopted sharia law.

To the surprise of no one who actually thought about her claims for a minute, Woman Made Up Tale of Anti-Muslim Attack by Men Shouting 'Trump'.

Six weeks ago she landed in Israel for a 3 month stint. This was surprising because she is very pro-Palestinian. She wanted to open her prejudices to scrutiny... 4 weeks in she declared Israelis were horrible, rude people with guns and moved over to the West Bank. The Palestinians are "lovely, frie...

What gets me is why even 'old school lefties' and 'classic liberals' are surprised by this outcome. It is a feature of your ideology not a bug. The 'gibsmedat' part of your politics have to keep pushing the envelope and become more authoritarian and violent to get the outcome they want. In a democr...

Detroit pizza is great. When I used to live there, I loved going to Nikki's in Greektown. When I moved up to the burbs, I went to Shield's on 15 Mile in Troy.

I don't find it at all suspicious that a bar that served pizza would have families with kids during dinner but cater to adults later at night. That's what most neighborhood bars with food are like.

The pub date for A Skeptic's Guide to Islam has just been pushed back another year. Heina doesn't have a book or the money to give refunds to her backers. This maybe why she's hiding. (But she's never done regular updates anyway.)

How many female speakers were at that conference PZ attended in China? Were Uighurs and Tibetans sufficiently represented? Did the site have enough bathrooms for nonbinary people?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I was a wee lad when the student protests took place, but PZ was a nominal adult at the time. This shit is in living memory but for him it may as well be ancient history. What a fucking stupid fat fuck. I had just graduated high school, so I'm older than you and younger than PZ. This was in the era...
