Is it really San Andrea's fault?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Is that a new one? I started listening to "Infinite Monkey Cage" podcast because of the last episode he was on.
Love Nerdist.
I think it was older. I downloaded it back in February or something when I heard Gillian Anderson was talking about the return of the X-Files on that podcast and am finally getting around to listening to it. Brian Cox is awesome. I love when he's on QI
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

I spent a lot of the day in my third-floor concrete and steel storage unit... blech, the dirty, dusty sweat.

Just found out the Irish Catholic priest from the parish I grew up in got transferred from his old post after "getting into trouble" there.
A particular thought comes to mind but I don't want to go there with the accusations... I did always think he had that look about him though, no shade.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
