Reg,

Normally, I don’t get into news stories consisting entirely of Twitter feeds, but this one below that I came across on the SmartNews app was just breathtaking and fantastic!

Before anyone gets rhapsodic and verklempt at the mention of the word “Democracy,” here is an example of what unlimited Democracy really means…and one brave man…[Read more]

@Autumn – As more people shed their share of religion, instead of dissipating into the air, it concentrates in the remaining believers until it’s exploding out their asses.

That reminds me of the Hitchens quote about Jerry Falwell;

“If you gave [Jerry] Falwell an enema he could be buried in a matchbox.”

In contrast, I feel that the US is codifying more religious bullshit now…than I can ever remember.

There is a wave of strong polarization sweeping many nations around the world. It’s almost like there is a given concentration of religiosity that has to be present in the overall population at all times. As more people shed their s…[Read more]

My understanding is they hired G.R.R. Martin for much of the world building. I don’t know that much about the rest of the game design.

It’s curious how much D&D influenced video games in terms of mechanics and aesthetic, especially when so much of the original lore was ripped straight from material such as LotR, which in turn borrowed heavily…[Read more]

I considered Elden Ring because the world and the aesthetic are right up my alley. But I’ve never really been able to get into soulslike games.

I never took to the Dark Souls games. I found the first one too repetitive but did appreciate the difference it brought to the genre. But ER is different. The more I play it the more it grows on me.  Th…[Read more]

We keep seeing data that says religiosity is declining, however that seems to be with the younger folks. In contrast, I feel that the US is codifying more religious bullshit now…than I can ever remember.

Lovely, thanks Reg!

When I played D&D my character was a chaotic-evil spell-caster called Spliffo 🙂

Years ago my neighbors complained that they hated the “regret” lyrics in this song….so I turned it up….to 11, of course.

I forgot to mention last week that Satan wants you!

Good. I’ve been listening to devil music and playing D&D for years now trying to get his attention. It’s not really about Satan per se. Sometimes it’s just nice to feel wanted, y’know?

It looks like an interesting documentary. I feel like the internet has radically…[Read more]

Yes Noel, it is great news. I think most of them know it and are staging a last-ditch attempt at seeming relevant. The vitriol and hatred they spew forth is disgusting. Not just to us but also to many of their children too.   They are a domestic threat to democracy.

Have a great week everyone!

Thanks Reg

Non Religious on the graph in the “The decline of white evangelical Christians continues to trend downwards,” shows that it is larger compared to any one religious denomination. Great news.

That bot is not for naught. It is interesting how folksy the answer becomes. Almost practiced like the affable curmudgeon’s syntax.

No monkey business here please!

I asked my A.I. bot to write an answer for me, with a few puns….and 5 seconds later;

As we all know, humans have evolved over millions of years, from our humble beginnings as fish in the sea. Yes, you heard that right, we were all once just little fishes swimming around in the big…[Read more]

Somewhere in the fossil record, evidence of fish wearing red hats exists along with futile attempts to build a net separating the water from the land.

Build the net!
Build the net!
Build the net!

Autumn there were maga-equivalent fish that refused to evolve and took their people backwards to the good old days when fish were fish and knew their plaice 😉

Thanks Reg!!

Have a great week everyone!

Due to time constraints and the “lockout” from the site I have a slimmed down post today.
