Re: Nonsense for the first week of May 2019

Screech screech on and on, by people on all sides of the political spectrum. I looked at In These Times , a Left publication from the Midwest with a labor news focus. The last time they wrote about Wikipedia was in 2014: "Congress slapped with 10-day ban on editing Wikipedia entries" . Th...

The atheist missionary film thread

There was this thing in the Bush II era for atheist movies doubting parts of the Bible or religions in general, or just filming certain religious groups and letting the viewer decide. Here we are looking at some of the output from that period. ik7GRQ9hoVY The God Who Wasn't There (2005). An explorat...

Re: Guardian crap thread

I have to mention the quasi- Wikipedia Sucks! of the Grauniad , a blog-website called Off Guardian . Formed by people whose comments were deleted from the "Comment is Free" section, it's grown into a variation of Consortium News (link to CN here) over the last few years. I found it through...

My other blog has shooter John T. Earnest's "manifesto"

m From my untitled forward: Because I've been posting raw material on this blog, here is the rambling document John Earnest posted to 8chan before he drove to the [Poway Chabad] synagogue and gunned down 60-year-old Lori Kaye, wounded three others, one of whom was the rabbi. He also takes responsibi...
