Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny Ogg was basically a law-abiding person when she had no reason to break the law, and therefore had that kind of person’s attitude to law-enforcement officers, which was one of deep and permanent distrust.”

Now that the clocks have gone back here remember to take your Vitamin D, have a hot cup of tea, adjust your schedule to see more daylight if you can, light some candles, avoid that suspicious circle in the grass, and leave a nip of whiskey out so the fair folk don't turn you into a handbag

Timothy the Hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius) at the San Antonio Zoo demonstrates why he's not in the petting area using a Fall pumpkin. 🦛🎃 The bite force of a hippo is ~2000 psi, producing a force of 8100 Newtons. So why does a GRASS-EATER have jaws stronger than a polar bear, jaguar or lion's?

Discworld QOTD, from Wintersmith “That's Third Thoughts for you. When a huge rock is going to land on your head, they're the thoughts that think: Is that an igneous rock, such as granite, or is it sandstone?”

Seven years ago today, Pastor Greg Locke filmed himself burning my book, The Founding Myth. It’s still educating readers and still scaring Christian Nationalists. If you’re reading one book on the topic, shouldn’t it be the one that scares them this much?

The most dangerous thing about blind faith is that it can convince otherwise decent people to commit unimaginable atrocities while believing they’re doing God’s will. There is no belief so sacred that it should be beyond questioning.

Paul Mackenzie told his followers they could meet Jesus through starvation. A Kenyan court has now found him and 28 associates guilty in the deaths of 191 people. 190 of them were children. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/kenyan-sta...

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards! 'People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, "Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else.”'

So proud of our team at @atheists.org, our Colorado Secular Advocacy Team, and our partners and allies for getting this done. This kind of work isn't flashy and rarely makes headlines. But for the people it helps, it is the difference between freedom and not.

Colorado parolees shouldn’t have to choose between their beliefs and staying out of prison. After years of advocacy by atheists and allies, the state has agreed to offer secular recovery options. Here’s how organizers made it happen. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/colorado-p...

X: The Epstein Island App

John Scalzi@scalzi.com

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

All social media is shit, but x is in a class of its own. '...just a few years ago, if I asked you: "Would you use a product from a company owned entirely by a man who sold child sexual abuse material?", you would have said no.'

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

hey if you're on this app to escape the hellscape of the former bird app it seems counterintuitive to constantly repost or post in detail about awful stuff from there to over here Now we just have two doomscroll apps, just that this one is seeing the doom through a very thin pane of glass

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage." I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.
