One of the more ridiculous memes that’s gained a disproportionate amount of traction in the freethought community is that of “witch hunts”. It’s the idea that there’s some roving band of bloggers and commenters hunting for the least appearance of deviation from the One True Path and punishing with extreme prejudice without evidence or empathy. …

Mock The Movie: Moontrap transcript and subtitle files
My week has been very draining. I don’t have a lot left in the tank for blogging. I’m working nights now, but I’m also handling crises during the day, picking up lots of other folks’ slack. So I need a day or two to recharge, and hopefully I can put together a few choice items …

Linus Torvalds on Mitt Romney and Mormonism
You folks are going to LOVE this one. On Mitt’s “joke” that he doesn’t know why airplane windows don’t open and how that’s a big problem when there’s an electrical fire in the cabin, Linus Torvalds — Linux’s progenitor and Grand Poobah — had a few words to say on Google+. He really seems to …

Rush Limbaugh: Tiny penises are feminazis’ fault
Limbaugh’s at it again. Even using his linguistic creation, to boot. This time, his unevidenced postulate is that feminism shrinks penises. Because feminism has only existed for the last 50 years. Or something. Rush Limbaugh on Thursday lashed out at feminists — who he called “feminazis” — over the news that male genitalia are shrinking. …

Pinkification of The Internet, For Dummies
!["Internet pour Les Nulles", or "Internet For [Female] Dummies" cover](http://freethoughtblogs.com/lousycanuck/files/2012/09/internetpourlesnulles-615-150x150.jpg)
The For Dummies series is arguably the best known computer self-help manual series in the world.
