One thing's for sure, and that's that the Radford/Stollznow reconciliation sex session is going to be one monumental cataclysmic event.

Complete with fifty thousand dollars worth of champagne, flowers and penthouse suites and Baxter gimped up in the corner !

I denounce and condemn this photoshop by Ape+Lust !

One good thing to come out of this ( the Radford/Stollznow) is that we can officially declare the 'Atheist Misogyny' meme is dead. If anyone outside the community suggests that women are treated badly, or that sexual harrassment claims are pooh-poohed or ignored, we now have irrefutable evidence, th...

There are so many problems here I think I will just let the comment stand. http://i.imgur.com/jaJTnqx.jpg It's not so much the automatic equation of discourse with violence - that's a given with PZ now, what with 'grenades' and so forth. What's depressing about this is the condescention to his own ...

Well, at least one person watched my Block Bot and the Dumbification of the Beeb video all the way through: I've watched it more than once and find that the time just flies by. Excellent video all round and not just because of the beautifully judged use of the word "spooge". In fact, my only critic...

Is it entirely coincidental that McCreight's withdrawal from blogging seems to have happened at the same time that the big players on her side - Myers, Benson and Watson, all distanced themselves from Atheism Plus - leaving McCreight as the only remaining nurse Ratchet of that particular asylum?

PZ is such a dingus these days.

I thought 'dingus' meant something desirable, like a 'McGuffin'. What PZ is is a 'doofus'.

I don't know much about Dillahunty or the other guy, but my impression of Aron is that he was forced into reciting the party line on feminism by his wife and allies like Myers but would personally prefer to talk about anything else. He's certainly not militant about it. Hell he remained friends wit...

Excellent video, Mykeru. Thanks for going to the trouble. I used to be a fairly avid viewer of Newsnight but not so much lately. I did have respect for them, but on this story they have fallen down badly. Failing to mention 'Atheism plus' when talking about the block bot is a glaring omission, and a...

Indeed, you are right. I tested the "wheelchair bound" topic with my wife last night. I said... Well OK John, it looks like you've settled this one in your mind.

I'm sorry but, I have *never* in my life interpreted 'wheelchair bound' to mean something akin to slavery/bondage, let alone 'talking down' to the person in the chair!

Thanks! What I don't get about the aforementioned study: if stereotype threat caused the girls to play worse than expected against boys, shouldn't it have affected the previous rankings of the girls, as well?

Your new rule cracked me up. The part that makes it extra funny and revealing is the fact that when Thor came out there were neo nazis puking up rants indistinguishable from the one you wrote.

[youtube]L-Lhnt6LlLE[/youtube] I watched this mainly because I was curious as to how they'd deploy the identity politics / SJL buzzword of 'intersectionality' in the context of secularism.

The danger about this case is the precedence it sets in spite of reality.

What sort of person wants his supporters to be angry ? A demagogue that's who. Rush Limbaugh and people like that.

Nice summary and overview there Skep tickle.

Hey Phil - you have an opinion on la quenelle? (The hand-gesture - not the meatball). The New York Times is obsessed. I know I wasn't the one who was asked, but here goes.

There's a manouvre or ploy so familiar to us from our SJL brothers and sisters that I feel we have been remiss in not giving it a name.

Okay, I didn't really fact-check the etymology of 'nice' and stand corrected. I just assumed that Sidney Greenstreet was the ultimate authority on the language. It's an easy mistake to make.

Ok, no idea who R. Glasser is. He's a host on the Atheist Experience who I have seen promote the silly Kafka style Trap of 'Feminism means women are people too' which of course suggests the false equivalence that not self declaring as being feminist or attacking their beliefs in any way means you d...

It wasn't Critical G who sent me the six FuckYous. It was Russell Glasser. It wasn't to do with this blog post, it was a few months ago, just after Shermergate.

As we're talking dictionaries and such, the word 'nice', used to mean 'vaguely pleasent' as in 'nice guy' is a modern, rather crappy usage. The original usage is more like 'neat' as in 'nicely done'.
