I agree with Mishtun, what a stupid and embarrassing source of “division” within a community. However by community I mean individuals to whom this matters in this vulgar manner (which at the moment luckily isn’t many.) Idiots.

This entire quote and the piece that accompanies it is obscene.

– Yes, yes, yes, but Conor will probably pick up a bit of a cult following after this election cycle with a few more 10,000 word essays. I’ve never cared his work, will probably never care for it, and my eyes do this neat little trick whenever I read his name.* Conor’s trolling is A-game,...

The Ig Nobel Prizes always give me hope that I will continue to get published. And this one was in Psychological Science.

le-kif-kif asked: what is an immortal cell line tho??
This line of research, says rheumatologist J. Lee Nelson, coauthor of the study, “suggests we need a new paradigm of the biological self” and how it is formed. We think of ourselves as the product of two biological parents and a one-time roll of the genetic dice. [LA Times]
My only is response is no.

All of the focus on Mitt Romney’s tan shifts the headlines away from President Obama’s awful forum responses especially when confronted with stuff like,
JORGE RAMOS: “At the beginning of your government, you had control of both chambers of Congress, and yet you did not introduce immigration reform. And before I continue, I want for you to acknowledge that you did not keep your...
You know
I used to be undecided about who I was going to vote for in November or even if I was going to vote at all but after watching Romney become Mexican, I can tell that he has my best interests on his face (if not his mind.) Who else feels this way? Who else was swayed?
I believe in Amercia again, thanks Mitt!
Mitt Romney still calls DREAMers 'illegal aliens'... →
From robot-heart-politics.
What’s hilarious about his use of ‘illegal alien’ is that he basically transformed into an Oompa-Loompa in a matter of hours. An Oompa-Loompa complaining about ‘illegal aliens’?
I don’t know, seems hypocritical. Don’t forget where you came from Mitt, never forget LoompaLand.
A THOUGHT
If the Univision Forum was held in Arizona there would been a strong chance that Mitt Romney, or as he now likes to be called Yolotli Huitzilihuitl, would have been deported.
This nation can’t do anything right.

Wow, contemporary evangelical scientific atheists were so offended by my use of contemporary evangelical scientific atheist that they accused me of being a “creationist” and a “religious person” that “spouts utter nonsense” and in the process behaved as one would expect from a contemporary evangelical scientific atheist.
I’m none of those things. Awesome.
