I rarely watch good movies. I spend my screen time on the blog, and with my current Diablo 3 addiction. Last night however, I did get the the opportunity to watch “Her”, a movie about a dude whose marriage is all but dissolved finding a new companion. The twist is

The Arbourist: Signal Boosting: How Anti-choice zealots are saving women by harming and harassing them… Originally posted on Everysaturdaymorning's Blog: Do you ever come across someone and almost immediately you’re able to ascertain what kind of person they might be? In the case of vile people, the person in question

The Arbourist: Forced Birthers Lying (again) for Jesus – How shocking. Originally posted on Everysaturdaymorning's Blog: The escorts and clients hear lies coming from the anti’s all the time. The breast cancer link that doesn’t exist, the “fact” that 20% of all women who have abortions attempt suicide, the curious

The Arbourist: Ah, once again the line between pious and lucrative is blurred. The religious again demonstrate that making money comes *way* before all that jebus-shit. Originally posted on mykeystrokes.com: In what just may be the most stunning example of hypocrisy in my lifetime, Mother Jones has uncovered numerous investments

The Arbourist: Dear Pro-Life Assholes, this is what you’re campaigning for and it makes you horrible people. Originally posted on Dr. Jen Gunter: The coat hanger isn’t sterile. It isn’t even clean. If the woman, or girl, is alone she thrusts it blindly upwards into the vagina. She’s hoping it

Free markets make for a level playing field, ensuring the best products get to the consumers at the lowest price by rewarding hard working people who go the extra mile to bring the people what they want….except when someone other than the established upper class might take some of their

“If a woman has (the right to an abortion), why shouldn’t a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman? At least the rapist’s pursuit of sexual freedom doesn’t (in most cases) result in anyone’s death.” – Lawrence Lockman, Republican and elected official in

Reblogged from the superstitious naked ape: Let there be no doubt whatsoever, to the Yahwehist – the practicing Jew, the Christian and the Muslim – whose entire religious faith rides E X C L U S I V E L Y on the historical validity of the Pentateuch this quote

The West Wing, ever so often, managed to perfectly capture the crazy paradoxical nature of the human condition. Watch and experience the juxtaposition so masterfully done in this short clip. How can any day be a day of joy when some 20,000 children will die of preventable causes. Oh sure,

Reblogged from Archive of the Biting Beaver: “FreeXXXpics”. It’s a search I get all the time, and each and every time it pops up on sitemeter I want to scream at the top of my lungs. A few weeks ago I was sitting at my desk sipping gingerly on my

It is thoroughly amusing to watch discern4 commentate on a pair of thoroughly delusional Chick Tracts. The tracks focus on the topics of rock and roll music and a topic that apparently has me hellbound for sure, and that would role playing games aka Dungeons and Dragons. It is amazing

When I learned Lilith was dying, I felt like my heart was going to implode. The only thing that seemed to keep enough outward pressure was knowing that there would be another cat to love after she was gone, so I became the cause of probably 25% of the web

Anti-Citizen X lays waste to the idea that morality is divinely inspired. Shorter video – God is unnecessary for moral behaviour. Filed under: Housekeeping Tagged: Anti-Citizen X, Morality, Religion, The Immorality of Christianity

Reblogged from reproductiverightscanada: The link I am adding below is a comic about EC or Emergency Contraception. I like the comic as a whole; it is a good way to learn the basics of EC. It explains the difference between EC and the abortion pill and some of the side

Reblogged from herlander-walking: I remember reading sci-fi novels about people pulling all the wires out of their homes to escape constant governmental over-look. That likely wouldn’t quite be enough these days. I don’t use Google, I don’t Facebook. I don’t go to malls…well, ok, VERY rarely. But I’m sure my
