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

I think I got my saying's mixed up. Should be hot air or just smoke. :?

I'm not drunk, I swear!

It always perplexes me why some women turn to feminism as a way to deal with ageing. If feminism is a hammer to smash patriarchy, they dropped it on their foot. Since I think there is some truth to this, I apologize to every cat lady I've made fun of. That's a less harmful way of dealing with being...

It sounds so fucking stupid. I wish I could pu...

[Apologies if it's been posted around these parts before...]

I've been out of the Twitter loop for a while [trying to catch up/keep up with this place takes long enough], but I just noticed that ElevatorGate published a Q&A.

I don't see a good reason to sign up to some kind of defence fund for Shermer at the present moment. It's a serious charge being levelled at him, and we have little information to tell us whether there is any truth behind them. For me, the most appropriate response is not to act like I know the cha...

I suspect there is a growing niche market for events conflating humanism, SJ, secularism et al which will see the current fracas in positively glowing light. I can't see, for instance, CSI maintaining a hold on the A/Feminist market. In addition PZ's street value always lay in being the 'dangerous'...

Personally, if setting a BAL limit for sexual consent would squash all of this bullshit, and do away with all of this he said/she said/Feminist Theory says bullshit that we waste so much fucking time on, I'd be all for it! ...

Guest/WTF She has to give "enthusiastic consent"? "Oh...alright", isn't good enough? Damn. Hey don't get me wrong. I am entirely 10000% behind the concept of enthusiastic consent.

<snip> Thatâ€™s a little harsh. And, I think, decidedly short-sighted. There are, no doubt, congenitally stupid people for whom no amount of experience is going to be sufficient to educate them â€“ in which case having them remove themselves from society if not the gene pool is probably the optimal...

<snip> As they say, good judgement comes from experience, but experience comes from bad judgement. And â€œbad judgementâ€ covers a very wide spectrum. Not particularly reasonable, I think, to think that everyoneâ€™s introductions to that are the same. Meh. I'm perfectly fine with natural selection...

Bit of a step up from Sarah Jonesâ€™ rather imperial and totally impractical command to potential rapi...

No problem, though I should have probably just told you to skip my retelling and go directly for the Storify links. They cover the events leading up to all of the horseshit pretty well.

Although having seen the following tweet, I think I have determined that the second "p" in popehat is silent: https://twitter.com/Popehat/status/368390105339133952 I don't follow elevatorgate, so I am not familiar with his behavior.

However, along that same line you will then, no doubt, get a hoot - if you have some predilection for gallows-humour - out of this comment from Sally Strange: Did anybody see that TED talk about hyperbolic maths, crochet, and coral reefs?

Even if PeeZus hadn't announced his 'divorce' from scepticism it's been apparent for a long while that neither he, the rest of the FC(n) nor, least of all, the Baboon Whored have any grasp on the concept of scepticism at all. Haha... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BR_vZgCCcAA0F2G.jpg Credit/Source

So, I don't believe anyone has mentioned this here yet, but in the comments of that strange "interview" with Shermer, this thing appeared: Pilar drshell â€¢ a day ago âˆ’ the sad part is so many people know who she is.

Thank you, I hadn't realized that notifications were twitter DM's, I had the impression they were emails. http://i.imgur.com/XnWPLVx.jpg If you block @elevatorgate on Twitter, you won't receive notifications from Storify about @elevatorgate. That may not be true. http://feedback.storify.com/forums/...

On the topic of the current moral panic over @ElevatorGate, I think this did the job well enugh. Why @scalzi is wrong and @xdamman is right about @ElevatorGate ..because when John Scalzi wrote http://whatever.scalzi.com/2013/08/15/storify-stalkers-and-terms-of-service/ - he did not think: a.

So, blacking out doesn't necessarily mean that person was trashed, incapacitated, or whatever else people may assert. Most people, except for blithe alkies, are disturbed by having a blackout, even if they don't wake up covered in blood with a knife and a doll's head of uncertain origin. True. My l...

Seriously, I just googled storify and my twitter handle and realized that there's a lot of storify'd stuff there. How did I find out? I had to google it. Number of emails I've gotten automatically from it? none. Oddly, storify is rather simple to ignore. Only the people with Storify accounts [other...

The other possibility, and one that probably shouldn't be discounted, is that Ophelia views non-sober sex (hook-ups between two people who have both been drinking but are nowhere near blackout level inebriation ) as non-consenting sex. Actually, I've been reading the Wikipedia page on Blackouts (I ...
