So I’m watching this video with the lovely damp lady with all the silk scarves, finding it all rather stimulating, and then it gets to the end and…oh, man. Castration anxieties. I’m going to go curl up in my bed and whimper.
I can tell that most people still have no access to Freethoughtblogs because of this DNS snafu, so I think I’ll go back to bed for a bit, and then putter off somewhere and tinker on other projects. Yell when you can see this.
Those crazy Swedes, bustin’ into song over the weirdest things…like “it’s all the gays’ fault”.
Hey, look, James Randi has seen an integral number of orbits around the sun! Everyone congratulate him today.
Also note that I actually have a t-shirt with his face on it.

Let’s see if closing the old long thread helps a little with the load here. Besides, you want to see the squidgirl anyway.
Also, good news: a fresh new server goes in tonight. Commenting will be temporarily shut down sometime after 9pm while the blogs get transferred, and when they’re switched on again, these performance problems should be gone.
Just don’t ask me. I got the account handed to me on a platter. However, I am getting email like this:
OK, if I’m blocked, just say so . . . but FTB will not accept any user
name I try, even under its lowercase-only rule, on the FTB registration
page. It always comes back with “Only lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers
are allowed.” I looked on the new page and plenty of nyms there
uppercase letters. So do you know what the problem is?
Maybe you expert users can offer suggestions on these essential matters, like how to easily get set up with an account, how to set up gravatars, that sort of thing.
This is it. This is the NEW Endless Thread, reinstantiated on Freethoughtblogs. All the social chatter will have to take place here now. Let’s hope the server can take it! Testing to destruction…NOW!

Howdy all! This is MG Myers.
Pharyngula is known for its vibrant community of commenters, and May was no exception. The May Mollies have been tabulated and the winner is <drum roll>
Audley Z. Darkheart!
Audley is hereby inducted in the distinguished Order of the Molly. Virtual champagne all around!
As you are celebrating with the new inductee, be sure to leave the names of your June Molly nominations and the reasons for their selection in the comments.
These are the rules of Pharyngula. Abide by them when you comment here.
The first law: This is PZ Myers’ blog, I am the ultimate overlord, and I can be a poopyhead if I want to. Posting here is a privilege granted by me, not a right, and posting privileges can be rescinded at my whim. Do not annoy me, and worst of all, don’t bore me, and we’ll get along fine.
The second law: There is no second law.
What we do have is mores. We have mores out the wazoo! This blog has been around for about 8 years and has a horde of active commenters, and the whole bloody mob has shaped expectations for what is in-group behavior and what is out-group behavior. Pay attention to the culture here.
Oh, look! Bugs and broken ugly stuff!
I know. Here you are in this new place, and it’s homely. There are glitches. There are clearly things that Myers guy doesn’t know how to do yet, and he clearly doesn’t grasp WordPress. Some stuff is just different, and you hate it.
This is your thread.
Tell me what sucks, and if you can, tell me how to fix it. I will listen humbly and take recommendations and advice. Implementation of your suggestions might be slow as I creep up the learning curve, and also because this is a new network of blogs and I can’t charge in and risk breaking things for everyone else, but it will improve.
We will make it sleek and beautiful and efficient together.
