Hi folks, Russell here.  This Saturday I’ll be joining Jason “Lousy Canuck” Thibeault, JT Eberhard, as well as lots of other awesome Freethought Bloggers and various unbelievers for a portion of the 24 hour “gameathon” for charity.  We’ll be broadcasting a live stream of us geeks playing single and multiplayer on a bunch of classic game selections from arcade history, Nintendo, and Sega. Ninja Turtles, Street Fighter, that sort of thing.  It’s gonna be awesome! Check out Jason’s blog for details on how you can tune in while it’s live.

I forgot to post an open thread for the show yesterday, and am doing so now. Feel free to post your thoughts on calls like “I Just Wanna Talk about Matt,” “Alternative Medicine,” and “How Do I Get My Theist Mother to Get Me?” Or talk about anything else we discussed that strikes your fancy.

I never cease to be impressed by the courage of anti-feminist, MRA Freedom Fighters! That was sarcasm. Dillahunty is off his rocker if he thinks feminism is merely the idea that men are equal to women. Feminism is a paranoid leftist ideology with a whole slew of dogmatic principles. A person can believe in equal rights and oppose feminism, without said opposition being contradictory. If I had called into the show to argue about this, I would have easily torn Matt a new one on this topic. Screw you, Matt. I believe in equal rights and equal opportunity for EVERYONE. And I hate feminism with a passion. Are you going to argue that my belief in equal rights for women makes me a feminist? Then you’ll have to explain why I disagree with 99% of feminism’s core ideology. Feminism is a hate group that seeks to elevate women above men. Uh-huh. The day of Judgment will one day come. And on that day, when you are called to account for your actions, your fellow Men will stand upon the field of victory, doff their green berets, and humbly intone, “Well fought, Brave Warrior. Well fought.”

Tim Farley, who has twice been a major figure in getting the Montreal police to take threats from Dennis Markuze seriously, has written a fascinating post outlining the history of the case between his initial sentence and his recent second arrest.  Go read it!

According to a tweet from the Montreal police: D.Markuze was arrested for social media harassment (breach of probation). Thanks to those who helped with the investigation#Mabus#SPVM Think it will stick this time? Here is today’s Montreal Gazette article on the arrest. And here is an amazingly detailed article by Tim Farley with the full timeline of what it’s taken to get the Montreal authorities to take the whole Markuze situation seriously.
