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

I think at this point every Skepchick reader who ever took even an iota of parenting advice from Elyse should have realized their dreadful mistake and probably needs to spend the rest of their lives giving their children apology cards for every birthday and holiday.

Hahaha, look what Ophelia left at Jerry Coyne's blog: Never mind, apparently that was five years ago! :oops: It does illustrate an interesting phenomenon where you have people who are perfectly aware of the sometimes deep flaws of others, and criticize them quite harshly, then after entering into a...

People have been screencapping her bloody stools or whatever all week and now something actually interesting happens and no one can be bothered?

Myers relies on a simple but effective technique that could be called trolling depending on whether or not he's stupid enough to believe his own shit, but it goes like this: Shit on someone more famous than himself who has a generally good reputation, then when people question who the fuck is this b...

Peez's only "book" is 99% self-plagiarized. If Werleman cobbled together even 2-3 original sentences per book he's doing better than Myers.

My only complaint about Gad Saad from what I've seen is that he doesn't have much editing chops. Not that I'd expect him to, and I'll cut the guy a little slack for not being a Youtube pro as long as he has good arguments to make.

I've said it before. FTBers have a history of mixing up which person they hate did which thing that they hate because they don't really care to try to keep it straight. Everyone in opposition to them is one big indistinguishable collective of badthink.

Just got a copy of Dawk's new book and took a peek in the index. Myers merits a single mention on page 215 in the context of both of them and others having been duped by Ben Stein for his documentary, although he doesn't name Stein.

My Radford book arrived. Looks like a nice long read.

Oh, this is funny. I misread your post. I dropped the word "husband's" in reading your comment. Why? No one involved cares about her husband. Not even her husband. My point was that unless they're dead there must be a reason why they don't try crashing with them for a while. It would also mean ther...

I don't involve myself much in the Elyse business, but I was thinking: Are her husband's parents still alive and if so why are they not involved in any of this?

Ahermit is still over at FA bitching that Dawkins hasn't taken time out of his schedule to personally remove Jaclynn Glenn's Youtube videos from his foundation's website.

What a fucking maroon.

I'm not dismissing any information. I don't like or care about Glenn and she deserves whatever she gets for stealing content from others. Just saying that Werleman-style serial plagiarism is a high bar to clear. But what I am dismissing is this bullshit equivocation wherein SJWs are trying to paint ...

The thing about Glenn that has people in a tizzy at the moment is that once upon a time she pissed off SJWs (despite formerly being PZ Myers Youtube darling for a short while) and now they're wetting their pants over an opportunity to paint the other side as being just as bad as dudes like Werleman ...

Peez is really just spoiling for a fight with anyone anymore. Never met a med student who impressed him? Even if it's true, he needed to say it? As much as I'd love to see Novella deliver another beatdown, PZ's too small potatoes for him these days. I still enjoy reading this one though: http://the...

People in the comments at FA's Jaclyn Glenn plagiarism article are comparing it to Avicenna in an attempt to smear Dawkins because the Richard Dawkins Foundation website links to Glenn: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/09/28/these-videos-about-kim-davis-sound-way-too-similar-to-be-a...

We need a shoop of Phil as Mr. Bill.

PZ should have just kept his fat gob shut if that was the best he could come up with. What a buffoon.

I have the strangest hunch that post-poly Carrier likely isn't faring as well in his booty quests as pre-poly Carrier.

A comment I spotted over at Coyne's article on Namazie: The main point being missed here is the political context. Criticising Islam or any religion is, of course, perfectly valid. But everyone should know that powerful vested interests have hijacked the debate about ‘free speech’, etc. A shameful e...

I will reiterate a point I made not far back in a different conversation, which is tit for tat. GGers did not start out by being dicks to Popehat, and Popehat did not start out by being fair-minded or charitable toward GGers. It was very much the other way around, and even now there are people who s...

I shouldn't bite, but I will. I read Ken's response. Know how you could tell? Because I linked it directly first. And his response is pathetic. He basically says "don't criticize me, just go read someone else or write your own articles." Children on Deviantart use the "why don't you make something b...

Sledgehammering may be unconventional but it's certainly exercise.

The smackdown in question. It starts and ends by quoting Ken. "Be Skeptical The report is not the orgy of censorship that ideological enemies will claim. It's a thoughtful approach to a serious problem. But careful examination of any resulting policies is warranted." But you weren't, and that's what...

I thought some people here actually liked Fogg. I don't follow him very closely but nothing I've seen has impressed me.

And frankly, there is little point to the Pit anymore anyway. Yeah, a useful service is occasionally performed when the people here keep track of the latest SJW idiocy. And there's some good discussion on random topics. And a fuckton of shitposting. But I don't think this place is nearly as vital a...

Which is something of a relief as listening to Marcus Brigstocke's latest offering on radio4 last night, about Patriarchy and internet 'trolls' almost had me in tears. I used to really enjoy his work, but like Linehan he has gone full SJW. Him, too? If there's a bunch who should know better, it's c...

Maybe it was a bit harsh. I still think it's cowardice, but perhaps of a different sort. Just a plain old unwillingness to upset personal friends. I'm not one to say whether that's easier or harder than publicly denouncing Islam, but if we look at Ophelia, it's easy to see why someone who doesn't ha...

Should be good... https://twitter.com/Nero/status/647514973065842689 The eagle has landed: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/25/u-n-womens-group-calls-for-web-censorship/ I don't know who does the linking for Milo articles but his Twitter link at the bottom goes to a different writer.

What we see here is cowardice.

It's all fine to complain about "progressives" silencing you when they're just random college kids you don't know. But there's no time for naming and shaming when you're talking about your meal ticket.

Well, my sympathies for Namazie's situation have evaporated. Enjoy your no-platforming. You've earned it.

To go full catty for a second, that is an abysmal packing job. Who likes pulling out a wad of clothes from their suitcase? I guess "folding" and "organizing" are too patriarchal and oppressive, and Elyse is no one's maid, not even her own.

The biggest reason I can think that a company would not want to withhold a new drug is that they only have a limited amount of time to exploit the patent, and sitting on a new compound just gives them a smaller window in which they can market it without competition.

What are Elyse's trophies for that she'd want to smash them as well? Also, I remember people used to joke about Bjarte whatshisname buying up Surlies by the truckload, but damn, Elyse owns way more than I ever imagined even fictional Bjarte possessing. She's got more useless ceramic shit than a legi...

One thing about the clock controversy that bothers me and which nobody else seems to have noticed is that traditionally, liberals and Democrats have been pro-teacher, and yet we find it's trivially easy to get them to throw teachers under the bus and call them stupid because of how they reacted.

Bible-based science denialism (which is the real issue for which creationism is mostly a shorthand) has a longer history than that. Scopes was 90 years ago.

In what sense was creationism a fad? It's not as if there was a period where science education in America was doing fine, then creationists showed up one day, were annoying for a bit, and now they're gone. There was never a point at which we shrugged off their nonsense and they just went away. Didn'...

Sexbots are not a good investment. VR has far more advantages: Cost, storage (no one will bat an eye if they see a VR headset on your desk, but good luck explaining your fuckbot to friends and family), customization, immersion, etc.

The only non-retarded "wikis" are enthusiast wikis for certain media. Any political wiki is garbage, even if it agrees with you.

I think it's unfair that when Elyse has sex with many men, we all look down on her and say she's a slut. But when Richard Carrier has sex with many women, we all admire him and say he's a stud. To Carrier's credit, at least he doesn't look like death warmed over. To Elyse's credit, at least she doe...
