All day long I've been muttering to myself "Bonita. Ugh." Bonita. For fucks sake. Bonita. Classic African name. Usually in reference to Queen Bonita of Egypt. Ruled for 50 years with her twin sister Guapa. Known for their invention of trench coats, for those foggy, drizzly, dreary Egyptian days. Bon...

Yup. I was really surprised to read the Snopes article. Won't be consulting that website in the future.

Greta Christina does obeisance for using the term "stupid" and insanely rigid" in two articles she wrote back in 2010, when she was less enlightened. https://web.archive.org/web/20160316181830/http://the-orbit.net/greta/2016/03/16/an-apology-about-ableist-language/ Now I've spent some time looking ...

Whaaat? Peez put up a post and tweet appreciative of R Crumb? I don't think he has any idea who Crumb is. Crumb's a for-real American genius, but I doubt that opinion gets any mileage in social justice circles. Yet, here's Peez calling the creator of Angelfood McSpade a "master artist". Again, I re...

Btw, I loved The Orbit Kickstarter video. 1-- it started with the cliche 'lots of people saying the same thing' intro. I love that cliche intro.

So Phil was right. Today is my birthday and that always depresses me. This year is really has been really bad on me.

Im not going to stop talking about Kesha.

I love her and you can all go Die In A Fire (TM).

What she sounds like when she writes a song, limited electronic modification of her voice/accompaniment, and a non-shit producer (Flaming Lips dude):

I like Kesha.

1-- Great workout music.
2-- Crazy fun blondes and uptight straight-laced brunettes go together like peanut butter and chocolate #mytype
3-- I'm surprised SJW are giving her case any attention. Kesha is 'transphobic':

Looks like the "new" Melissa Click video has made mainstream news now. I feel a bit bad for her—she's just one person, and the problem is so much bigger than her. But she's insisted on staying on in her position, and she hasn't been particularly apologetic or honest, so my sympathy only extends so ...

Richard Wiseman was on the panel of judges that awarded Skepchicks 'Blog of the Year' for UK Skeptics in 2011.

I still dont get the point of NECSSs Dawkins fiasco. Its Novellas party. Throws it so he and his family to party with cool people 'for skepticism'.

Hahahahaha I broke the reply box.

tl:cut off: Our Skeptickle kicks ass.

One observation. Steve Novella is holding off on providing a decent explanation of his decision until the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe Podcast. That is obviously going to drive a lot of attention and traffic to his podcast. He certainly isn't letting a good controversy go to waste. Nothing like ...

The more I think about it, the angrier I get. How could anyone watch 'Kingsman' and see it as anything *other* than a feminist movie?

Abbie, don't be so hard on your underlings. You've surpassed him in every way professionally. He's basically a less capable scientist than you.
