Reg,
Speaking of astronomical hoaxes, I noticed from archives from 1938 newspapers that apparently no one in my locality in NC reacted hysterically to Orson Welles notorious broadcast. For that matter, there was no advertisement for the broadcast as far as I could see.
We do have a station in my area WBT 1110 AM who famously advertised that…[Read more]

A conservative issues a warning about the impact of Christian Nationalism. We will need to keep an eye on these hideous Christians. We must protect the separation of church and state to halt Christian theocracy. See also first video below.

In my humble opinion the media is basis when it comes to reporting AI advancements its always in the negative and never in the positive.
Yeah, mass media especially because that’s what the masses watch. YouTube adds wider perspective, even though the masses still fall for click-baity headlines and controversy.
IMO, the fear of…[Read more]

World of Woo: On endangering public morals!
Great story from The American Council on Science and Health!
An added absurdity to the drug laws: If a drug is classified under Schedule 1 and thus has “no approved human use,” no one is allowed to do medical research on the drug to find ways to eliminate the harmful effects of the drug and thus…[Read more]

Yeah, I know, calling abusing priests “brothers” is both both bothersome and creepy, but speaking as someone who grew up “in the fold,” Christianity is all about forgiveness and redemption, which is both its saving grace and its fatal flaw.

“What I have found in my 60 laps of the Sun is that those who are most concerned about ‘attacks’ on their faith are those who doubt the reality of their faith in the first place. They are not at peace but in turmoil that they might be wrong – and believe only by forcing others to believe as they do are they somehow justified by the sheer number of…[Read more]

Fighting Trumpism and Single Party Takeovers in the forum Politics 2 weeks ago
This is a great summary of old news, Jan 6, but current because Trumpism is still a serious threat. I like this particular presentation produced by Ravi Gupta, one of my favorite journalists and commentators. It’s 10 minutes long.
(I’m sure the youtube warning is about cursing. Just click on “watch”.)
