RE: RIP thread
Film director Sir Alan Parker who made such movies as Fame, Midnight Express and Pink Floyd – The Wall, and also what was supposed to be Madonna's break into the world of Oscars "Evita".
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Susan Ellison, wife of the late SF writer, Harlan Ellison, has passed away.

I wonder what will happen to their extraordinary house known as The Lost Aztec Temple of Mars where Harlan kept, among other things, 500k books and some priceless comics.
