I like how, for some reason, Australia is the second area after China to light up with explosions. Best to take those fuckers out first, I guess. It helps avoid any and all Mad Max scenarios later on.

Yes — if fucking Scientology (alien-based corporate-money sci-fi) can get to be a religion, with all the benefits and protections that go with the status, then there’s no reason why the Satanic Temple shouldn’t get the benefits of religion-status to protect their belief system.

From their website: Satan is symbolic of the Eternal Rebel in opposition to arbitrary authority, forever defending personal sovereignty even in the face of insurmountable odds. Satan is an icon for the unbowed will of the unsilenced inquirer… the heretic who questions sacred laws and rejects all tyrannical impositions.

The issue here is standing. I have a feeling that he would be more than happy to challenge it before a member of his church gets denied the exemption, but he knows that it would be immediately thrown out because he wouldn’t have standing since he can’t file anything on behalf of a non-member. He *has* to wait for a…

Why not both?!

To equate anything she does to the work that the Satanists have been doing for years is an affront to their accomplishments.

Just a quick reminder of their refreshingly sane tenets (from the membership page- only $25! I know what I’m getting my friends for Xmas now):

Nope, not Glenn Beck. The fact that he’s come out and said he has a change of heart is useless pandering for attention. Unless he sits down and actually talks with self-reflection about cognitive dissonance, gives an honest account of his motivations, talks about the inner world of right wing propaganda news and Tea…

Hello Kinja this is a formal request to change the stars to pentagrams on this site. Thank you for your consideration.

The Suffrajitsu trilogy: a graphic novel adventure based on the real-life secret society of martial arts-trained female bodyguards who protected the leaders of the radical women’s rights movement just prior to WW1.

more like xenohylophobic, with possibly a touch of chorophobia.

When I was very young, I read a great deal of fantasy and science fiction (not much has changed except my library is on kindle now). The day that I had an an epiphany about race was when I finished reading Robert Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers”. The entire time I read the novel, I had this vision of the protagonist as…

As a white guy I’m frustrated by this crass attempt to cut into our representati... oooh Finn and TR-8R! Montress looks interesting to read with my wife, and Ms Marvel to read with my daughter. mmm, Supergirl, perfect for relaxing after a crappy day of crappy news...Definitely picking up Expanse.

Fine. Have it your…

As someone who would like to see our fossil fuel use reduced I’m actually very pro pipeline. A pipeline never careened off a rail track and burned 47 people alive. Statistically this would have to happen another 50 times to equal the loss of life we’ve had in the last 5 years of rail transport.

While I agree, I really wish that everyone “standing with the people of Standing Rock” would do things to actually *reduce* their need for fossil fuels instead of just “supporting protesters.” You know, drive a smaller car/more fuel efficient car, move closer to work, live in a smaller house (or gasp, apartment…

That version of Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me was so sexless I think my hymen regrew...

The fact that I cast a vote without doing due research into the candidate, who has since shown herself to be suuuuuuper not in alignment with my values. That is not responsible voting.

Because the entire right has been gaslighted to think she is evil, and some even rubbed off on the mainstream. Strong, confident women scare people, it makes it easier for them to believe bullshit. And when you shovel the amount of bullshit they have done it doesn’t just come off.

Remember this:
- A good deal of the…

That’s the entire point. It’s easier to pretend that groupings don’t matter when you’re closer to the top than 90% of other people.

But the thing is, saying, “Well, even if it isn’t true it’s the sort of thing they’d do” is what Hillary has had to put up with for twenty-five years. Benghazi, Vince Foster, crackpipe Christmas decorations, flinging heavy objects at Secret Service people, secret email servers that leaked information to China,…
