I kinda liked that Alison Gold mewsic video. I don't see what there is to hate about it. As a Chinese speciesfluid nonbinary robotic kitteh, I'm not even offended by the cultural inaccuracies and grammatically nonsensical Chinese subtitles. It's not meant to be taken seriously, anyway.

It appears as if this whole anti-evolution idea is just flat out dying out. Sure you can try to speed it along, but I am not sure it is worth the effort.

I still find it incredible the percentages that believe in something other than evolution are so high. It's shameful at any level of education.

Meanwhile, since we last saw Zombie Ophelia...her latest post is an attempt to justify her lack of creativity, original content, and in some cases probable outright theft of copyrighted material: Pay it forward. Starts out giving something by a poet who encourages kids to copy and/or plagiarize (judging by what Ophie says, at least). Not sure I like that idea - in limited amounts, maybe, but after hearing the low-talent hacks who "sample" (i.e. steal) other musician's works...not thrilled with it. But, as is almost become hackneyed, the kicker:
One of the haters’ tropes about me is that a lot of my blogging involves pointing to other people’s writing. Yes, that’s right, it does. And?
That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. I like being pointed to other people’s writing, and I like returning the favor. I like a good salmagundi, and I like making one. It’s all good.
:naughty:
No. It's not all good. It's amazing - one of my early complaints about B&W was the lack of original content (and this is in general to a lot of "atheist bloggers" - among others. I would get a news article in my feed, and maybe read it, maybe not...then I'd see the same thing written about by a hundred bloggers, and many of them are just like Ophie - a copypasta and a few words as garnish. WTF? If all you want to do is point something out, unless your readers live in a bubble (and here, Ophie may be right to do this - I suspect a lot of her readers have very restricted reading habits), they probably have already seen the story. If you can't add something new or creative, or interesting at the least, to the story...why bother? The lack of intellectual stimulation and challenge is disgusting.

Hmm...maybe I can use that to my benefit. I can set up my news aggregator to copy stories, and have a program just print out random phrases, like "it's not a bug, it's a feature" or "interesting...", and then get myself set up at FTB. I can make a fortune, since the bar is so incredibly low.

Do you ever wonder if Ed hasn't had nightmares over the mess his network has become? Has he ever regretted letting the crazy cat lady and others in his "house" (well, it's Ophie's workplace, not Ed's house, except when people come into it and comment, then it's a house and living room all of a sudden)?

I need sleep.

Someone responded to me on Marcotte's 'It's sexist to hate cats' article, asking me if I did reading comprehension, and while I kind of wanted to keep my reaction to the article brief (lots of laughter) I decided to respond to this one person. Sadly, though, my permission to respond had been revoked.

Nevertheless, here it is for posterity.
No, I do reading comprehension very well. I just don't do crazy, which is probably why this article doesn't agree with me.

Amanda hypothetises that cats are associated not just with women, but single, childless women. Are they? I confess I must've missed that societal cue. But more than that, she says that what a lot of people are doing when they say cats doesn't really love you and we must be fooling ourselves is a kind of <i>mansplaining</i>. Mansplaining?? Why that particular expression? Why not patronising or some other gender neutral word? Maybe so that it would better fit in with her rhetoric that people who don't like cats are sexist?

What about men? Don't they own cats too? Why the need for this silly 'cat lady' argument? Does it fit into the larger narrative that women are dumb and needy and cling to cats? No, it doesn't, because guess what, different people have different preferences and some people prefer cats and some people prefer dogs. Not all men choose dogs and not all women choose cats. Which is why Amanda's argument is such a stupid, laughable argument that it made me loudly guffaw when reading it the first time.

For crying out loud, there is so much wrong with it that I'm not sure why I should have to point them out. But just to make a point: My sister likes dogs <i>and</i> cats. She says that when she gets her own apartment, she's going to get both. On the other hand, my mother? Hates cats. Hates them. Doesn't want anything to do with them. But she likes dogs. Does that mean she is subliminally sexist? Give me a fucking break.

Amanda has a confirmation bias the size of a small country and she has the ego to boot. If she honestly thinks people's preferences of cats and dogs, or their dislike of one or the other, she's an idiot. A radical feminist idiot.

And, it bears repeating, this is why I never comment on FTB, Raw Story or any of the authoritarian blogs. The game is rigged. All one manages to do is frustrate oneself and, not coincidentally, drive up the offending site's traffic. You first check the article, then you comment, then you have to check to see if your response was shit-canned and all they see is hit-hit-hit while giving the false impression to everyone who isn't you of not only agreement, but that dissenters -- that being you -- can't stick in a fight.

I also find it funny when they scream and cry for being blocked and censored yet routinely do the same for anyone presenting an alternate view to theirs. They then label anything that challenges their view as 'hating' and 'PTSD inducing' They are so dishonest it would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact they spread their poison whenever they can.

Notice to all bloggers. If your routinely censor and block anything you dislike you are only fooling yourself and the stupid. And the stupid will eventually represent the majority of your responders. You are intellectual cowards and lightweights. If you want to spew your thoughts into the world yet can't handle people reacting to them do not expect people to take you seriously or give a stuff about your vacuous opinions.

Just a little correction. 'Patronising' is not gender neutral. Derived from 'pater', or 'pops' to you. If I were given to SJ Warrioring I'd be pointing out how insulting it is to dad types, but I won't because I'm not.

Way back when dinosaurs ruled the earth and I ran a mostly political blog site, we had a forum " Salon des Refusés", which alludes to the fact that the sort of people we wanted were those thrown off other blogs for having an opinion. As it was my blog I was the Sooper-Dooper Administrator and enlisted minions to do the day-to-day moderation. I had been formerly dogpiled and banned from The Straight Dope and The Darwin Awards and ran it, well, pretty much like The Pit.

What I got out of bad experiences with those forums was that some people think your job is to express their ideas when you are in "their house". I checked a lot of blog's fine print and never saw it expressly stated, so it must have been an unwritten rule.

The couple of times I had to interceded was to give mods a warning about being too loose with the ban-hammer. In fact, I really couldn't be convinced anything was a ban-able offense. So the person argued and was an annoying shit, so what? It's a forum. THAT'S THE POINT.

If I live in fear of anything, it's being one of these deluded/cynical fuckers rigging what should be a free and open exchange because they have an agenda and, god dammit, you will serve it.

I'd take issue with that one, for a start.

Anyways, where are all these people who bag on cats so much? Has she not looked at the internets - ie, the domain of the cat-gods? Or is it just Mandy's confirmation bias at work again, in seeing an affliction to society as a whole when some people say they're just not that keen on cats?

In fact, why am I even bothering to care what this odd, parroting mannequin of the fashionable-left flaps its mouth unit about? You know, there is an aura of weirdness about Marcotte which I can't quite put my finger upon. She seems more a construct than a person, a peculiar patchwork composite of soundbitey-opinions which appear more the product of some variable-sorting algorithm than a real life human being. It's like a bunch of SJWs got together to create the perfect SJW replicant - with the end result being a specimen which amplifies their detachment from reality to a maximal degree, in being so literal and incapable of nuance. But it at least leaves me some hope that Marcotte might actually be capable of shutting up, by the simple expedient of unplugging her from the wall socket.

Standard Marcotte et al. philosophy: judge people and assign them to groups based on the types of companion animals they do or don't have. Several years ago on Pharyngula, there was a similar brand of stupid, assigning negative qualities (natch, because the PeeZus would NEVER have a small dog) to people who have small dogs. One of several commenters who handed PeeZus' arse right back to him recalled the loyalty and companionship of her Pekinese dogs. Of course, Marcotte et al. conveniently ignore the fact that many people adopt pets in a fairly random or serendipitous manner: friend finds a stray (or two or three), someone at work is fostering irresistibly cute cats or dogs, abandoned dog jumps into your car at a friend's ranch, stray kitties fed on the back porch find a forever home, etc. But no, they MUST assign some patriarchal rape culture meaning to it, which confirms their weird biases and entitled sense of peeved oppression. :roll:

Speaking of the fashionable left flapping its mouth, PeeZus has yet another post about Libertarians:
You cannot call yourself pro-liberty, even including the word in your name, if you are unwilling to recognize that the greatest oppressive force opposing freedom in America is unregulated greed. Libertarianism is a philosophy for the well-off, the privileged, and those who dream someday of being a wealthy boss with power over the peons. When capital is the measure of success, those who have it thrive at the expense of those who don’t; when we don’t have redistribution of wealth, we do not have equality of opportunity.
I'm certainly no fan of Libertarianism, and am usually annoyed by the ridiculous posturings of its many followers in my state, but it's inaccurate to assume that most of those followers are wealthy. Quite the contrary, by my observations. To me it seems to be a movement largely fueled by the desperate and ineffectual flailing of people who have disenfranchised themselves, and who have little or no power, influence, or disposable income. The Tea Party libertarian movement may very well eat itself in short order (one can hope).

I consider myself to be a progressive liberal (by US definitions), but I'm not going to deny that I benefit from the capitalist economy in the US. If wealth were redistributed across the country, I'd have much less than I do now. I could survive, and possibly be quite happy, but I'd be much less comfy. It's possible that PeeZus is willing to give up his current lifestyle to usher in some utopian egalitarian US vision, but the evidence to date indicates that he enjoys the wining and dining and expense-paid domestic and international travel, and partakes of it frequently. For starters, perhaps he should cut ties with a blogging network that operates on a capitalist model - if his messages are so important, then best disavow the ads revenue.

Several years ago on Pharyngula, there was a similar brand of stupid, assigning negative qualities (natch, because the PeeZus would NEVER have a small dog) to people who have small dogs. One of several commenters who handed PeeZus' arse right back to him recalled the loyalty and companionship of her Pekinese dogs. Of course, Marcotte et al. conveniently ignore the fact that many people adopt pets in a fairly random or serendipitous manner: friend finds a stray (or two or three), someone at work is fostering irresistibly cute cats or dogs, abandoned dog jumps into your car at a friend's ranch, stray kitties fed on the back porch find a forever home, etc. But no, they MUST assign some patriarchal rape culture meaning to it, which confirms their weird biases and entitled sense of peeved oppression. :roll:
Marcotte is wasting her paltry talents on this penny-ante "what kind of dog you have" bigotry when she could be going for big time bigotry where she makes insulting generalizations about entire classes and races of people.

Oh, wait...

It depends on if you got the owl's consent before having it, I guess.

That's fucking hilarious. I can just imagine the triumphantly worded blog posts PZ Myers would be writing as his money was being stolen.

BarnOwl wrote:Speaking of the fashionable left flapping its mouth, PeeZus has yet another post about Libertarians:
You cannot call yourself pro-liberty, even including the word in your name, if you are unwilling to recognize that the greatest oppressive force opposing freedom in America is unregulated greed. Libertarianism is a philosophy for the well-off, the privileged, and those who dream someday of being a wealthy boss with power over the peons. When capital is the measure of success, those who have it thrive at the expense of those who don’t; when we don’t have redistribution of wealth, we do not have equality of opportunity.
I'm certainly no fan of Libertarianism, and am usually annoyed by the ridiculous posturings of its many followers in my state, but it's inaccurate to assume that most of those followers are wealthy. Quite the contrary, by my observations. To me it seems to be a movement largely fueled by the desperate and ineffectual flailing of people who have disenfranchised themselves, and who have little or no power, influence, or disposable income. The Tea Party libertarian movement may very well eat itself in short order (one can hope).

I consider myself to be a progressive liberal (by US definitions), but I'm not going to deny that I benefit from the capitalist economy in the US. If wealth were redistributed across the country, I'd have much less than I do now. I could survive, and possibly be quite happy, but I'd be much less comfy. It's possible that PeeZus is willing to give up his current lifestyle to usher in some utopian egalitarian US vision, but the evidence to date indicates that he enjoys the wining and dining and expense-paid domestic and international travel, and partakes of it frequently. For starters, perhaps he should cut ties with a blogging network that operates on a capitalist model - if his messages are so important, then best disavow the ads revenue.
Well I was reading a right wing blog the other day and I just learned that the American revolution was in fact a *libertarian* movement, no liberalism at all. This of course coming from a guy who believes that man was only truly free when living under a king in a feudal society...

In other news.... Michael Shermer has decided to go full vegan after viewing the film "Speciesism". I guess he must have never really thought about it before...

Robertson is a fundie who credits his beliefs with saving his life and his marriage. Setting aside the truth, or lack thereof to these beliefs, given he has them, the fact he says the things he does is utterly unsurprising.

I watch and enjoy the show, because I think it's funny, even though it's staged as hell. But then, I get a lot of the jokes that someone who hasn't lived in the south a long time wouldn't get.

I think we should have a more rigorous system of vetting reality-tv rednecks, guidos, trailer trash, gold-diggers and the like to make sure they don't hold any unsavory beliefs.

Of course it's okay to rape 'em, just so long as you don't kill and eat 'em after.

IMO, libertarianism is illogical. But it's also at core anarchy, so has more in common with Occupy than the Tea Party. Yes, the TP attracts anti- gov't types, but it's original message was to reduce gov't waste and corruption in politics. (How it's turned out in practice is another matter.) It's those sentiments that make the TP appealing to regular, middle class folks.

Even when Peezus is right, he can't get it right.

I once spent New Year's Eve in Sydney, big anniversary of a bridge; had a magnificent and very private view of the fireworks, a lot of pricey alcohol, the heat of a summer evening, and the pitter patter of sexy time.

Ah well. If I never have another night like that at least I had one.

I watched about 15 minutes of it once, and it's pretty much The Beverly Hillbillies only less authentic.

Being gay, I supposed to be outraged by his remarks but I can't seem to make myself care.

That trailer is bizarre. It starts with a not at all shocking expose about bad conditions at giant meat producing businesses, then there's Pete Singer, and then there's people talking about the Nazis-including an interview with a man in a Nazi uniform. This is the movie Shermer tweeted that everyone should go see it?

Incidentally, even Singer draws the line(arbitrarily)at vertebrates, which would make eating shrimp okay.

My mistake. He is not full on vegan... he is the "I don't think shellfish suffer" kind of vegan. So is it okay to eat a cow that dies of old age? Fuck this is complicated! How about an octopus? Can I eat an octopus? They are highly intelligent invertebrates. Cuttlefish perhaps... hmmmmm....
