We have a word for the universe: Universe. There is no need to tack on a word with a helluva lot of baggage associated with it, to try to culture-jam religion into science. My guess is the number of scientists who do as you claim is a rounding error around zero.
That timeline has so many twists it should have a "dangerous curves" warning sign.
Last night I learned of a wild family connection. There is a very successful NFL franchise run by a conservative grandson of a billionaire oil magnate, and whose dad has several sports trophies named after him. His cousin is a trans woman who fronts an experimental black metal band. 🧵
Hi did you move your newsletter away from substack? drop it in the replies so people can find you and subscribe! I am big on rewarding good choices
Ruin a movie by making it about Gary. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Gary.
These fucken idiot bigots need some new material.
They're also antisemites.
Maybe I'll be able to afford a third Smart car. /s
I'm sorry, Mr. Freeman. I can't follow anything on Substack. My IP bans it because it's owned by a Nazi.
I don't have anyone to tell other than my wife and mother if I win. Is it okay if I tell you, Dr. Frizzle?
The election is still 2 1/2 years away. You could aim that same question at the GOP? Why can't they name a leader for the 2028 election?
If you think I'm being a crass insensitive smartass about this now, wait until you see how I am if he actually does die.
That gets a follow.
Trump on RFK Jr., the CDC, and vaccines (a translation). He seems to be saying that he was shown data about COVID19 vaccines being safe and effective, but that the pharma companies didn’t show those amazing data to anyone else, like RFK Jr. He thinks this is why there is a “mess” at CDC.
They won't. This is the same magazine which once tried to hire Kevin Williamson for Libertarian takes. Apparently they didn't know (or care) that he advocates for any woman who got an abortion to be hung from a lamp post (really).
It might cause an uncontrollable pandemic of rhythm, and then where would we be? /s
Many people are saying Tom Bartlett is just trying to present an enlightened centrist take, while others say this is a blatant racist attack on Michelle Obama.
Same. Reported for political and medical disinformation. Need more people to join in.
My usual response to a conservative is "you don't have to lie on the Internet. There are so many better things to do. Knit. Take a walk. Play with your kids." It seems like I have to do that with The Atlantic now. The only thing Michelle Obama has in common is both of them are alive (RFK maybe).
Happy Yes Day!

The XXV Amendment is essentially unenforceable. Aside from needing four Trump-loyalist cabinet members (plus the VP), Trump can simply reverse it by sending a letter to the House saying "I can carry out my duties."
And I called it segregationist back in 2024! They’ve been telling us the whole time!
It's very much like a left-wing version of Qanon. a) A person on the inside who has information being hidden from you, and you don't know who they are b) They'll disseminate information which confirms someone's priors without critically examining it c) Sell merch d) Profit
Bump
Part of the application for currently open National Weather Service positions (since DOGE fired hundreds). They are now testing for political alignment (see question 3), despite the fact that the NWS is completely non-political. This is a job that literally deals with saving lives and property.
endless whining of abusers....
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Conservatives are perverts. That should be said more often.
The same is true for Canada's military: Enlisted personnel cannot resign. An order which obviously violates the UCMJ (murder, arson, rape, &c) can safely be refuted. But orders aren't that. Everyone challenging orders as unconstitutional is mayhem.
There's a bit more nuance to "I was following orders" is not a defence. Enlisted people cannot resign from the military. Officers may resign at any time; they also affirm they take their commission without any mental reservation whatsoever. At Nuremberg, no enlisted personnel were prosecuted. /1
Bumped on my feed and shared outside BlueSky.
Yep. myferretsatepepethefrog.blogspot.com/2025/08/q-be...
So we have a sea lion in addition to a liar. Atheists are mostly Democrats because the other party wants to take our rights or kill us. But we are a small minority of the population. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...
And none of the school shootings happened in the bathroom
He had a charge against him for bringing a gun through a Washington, DC airport, though that was dropped. As for Hungary, the gun charge was dropped by Hungary in 2018. Gorka served with an open warrant from Hungary the entire 1st maladministration. www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldvi...
Well, that was worth a follow.
The lack of awareness in this post has made me twitchy for days...
The overwhelming majority of Christians voted for Donald Trump (aside from Black Protestants), from every denomination (including so-called liberal Christians). The groups most likely not to vote for him were Jews and agnostics. Perhaps we should blame Christians instead.

He's an explicit eugenicist. The woo to eugenics pipeline has been well-established for decades. "You didn't eat whatever nonsense diet I'm making money off promoting? Why should I pay for your healthcare?" "Measles is natural. Strong children don't die of it."
It was worth a report first though. The account seems pretty new and it's a sewer of antagonism bot commentary.
I have three. Apparently folks who will "auto follow back" aren't checking the person's account first.
Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see anything on that dingus's account which would indicate it's a liberal. It looks like an antagonist bot (an account which disagrees with any comment no matter what it is).
Organic child as opposed to a child who isn't carbon-based?
If you're gonna have a town hall in your district, shouldn't you make sure you ARE holding it in your district?????? www.rawstory.com/stephanie-bi...
LOL she couldn't remember she gerrymandered her venue out of her own district.
The Free State of Florida is now trying to ban *sidewalk chalking*
Atheism isn't a claim of certainty. It is disbelief in the claims of others, much like someone might disbelieve I have a dragon in my garage (surprise, I don't have a garage). Many religions are diametrically opposed to each other. They can't all be true, but they can all be wrong.

You know, conservatives don't have to spend their time lying about others on the Internet. There are so many better things to do: knit, wash your cat, maybe mow your lawn. I see your name here is also a lie. The majority of Democrats are Christians. The difference is they don't persecute people.
MAHA: Make America Hungry Again
Pass it on.
you'll know it's happened when four different palace coups try to fit through the same door
I'm sixty-five and I have no plans to drop dead soon. For that matter, my mother called me earlier and she's eighty-five with no plans to drop dead either. (She says spite keeps her going: She wants to hear it announced on the radio that we're free of him.)

this survey took less than two minutes yes, it's inane. do it anyway
No Democrat voted to confirm RFK, Jr.
That's why you vote against Newsom if he's on a primary ballot. As for "perfect being the enemy of good," who would you like to sacrifice? Homeless people? (I was homeless for eleven years.) Transgender people? Got any more groups that should be sacrificed?

Family, jobs, most people can't afford to just pick up and move.
Christians have a two thousand year history of genocide to advance their religion. It was advanced with the force of armies, not rhetoric. The "kinder, gentler" Christianity you see today is an aberration forced on Christians by the Enlightenment, and Christians hate it.

only so many words you can put in a headline but the whole response is loud and proud support for the trans community and worth reading
I'm sure some of you know where you can stick your stupid AI hero art of Newsom.
Got a link to this application so others can see it and put it up on-line?
How is this a hasty generalisation? The Conservative Right almost to a person argues for "moar gunz" but where are conservatives outraged about a shooting in a church? They lost their damn minds over Cracker Barrel's logo change (which they've done in the past). Conservatives NEED outrage.
What fucking year is it 🪿 WHAT FUCKING YEAR IS IT YOU NAZI MOTHERFUCKERS 🪿
It's because "tyrant" always meant "Black."
Libertarianism is only conservatism with weed and lowered age of consent laws. Conservatism is only about conserving power for an aristocracy.
BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop? #windows95
And as they continue spreading their lies about him, the likelihood that one of their listeners is triggered to try to harm or murder him goes up.
Holy shit, another one.
Another Republican Town Hall goes off the rails... www.rawstory.com/ashley-hinso...
The scary part is the John Birch Society is actually growing again. Too many people are willing to believe something "truthy." "Did you know fluoride is a poisonous waste product of aluminium smelting, and they're just selling it to cities because capitalists are soulless?" Too many people say yup.
Is there some sort of official release saying what this person's religious belief it, or is it just assumed? (By the way, atheism is not nihilism.)
My heart. Members of the US Public Health Service (the uniformed service branch no one has ever heard of, who serve at the CDC and elsewhere in the US), massed within the CDC property, saluting their departing uniformed leaders who were escorted out by security today after resigning on principle.
If they can seize control of a religion, even better. They don't have to build up a competing structure. The Evangelical anti-abortion movement is younger than the Happy Meal. Evangelicals supported Roe. GOP came in and spun it as a way the government was going to break up their segregated schools.
The judge is also a Christian. According to the article, the prosecutor says the family is irretrievably broken, with about half of those who made a victim impact statement supporting her religious beliefs. The same people kill children with these beliefs and get the same sorts of punishments.

Philanthropists seem to be driven by two things: a) Launder their reputation, b) Tax write-offs.
Wellll well well well would ya look at that, countdown to the left throwing Mamdani under the bus just like they did AOC... archive.ph/MT30n
If you're requiring a person adopt every last point of your ideology or you'll be cast out, you're not promoting a political platform: You're promoting a religion.
Yes it's important to name things accurately.
I wouldn't either. But there are enough of them it matters in an election.
I'm aware of it, but a lot of people don't seem to be. "Well, what else would a preacher/rabbi/guru/whatever preach?" "Be excellent to each other." (Thanks, Bill and Ted.)
How is noting he said this "being triggered by it?"
How wildly ungrateful for the guy whose movies entirely depend on the work of VFX artists
Congratulations on the baby. As for posting about deranged techbros and their thievery machines, I'm fine with it. They should be shown.
