    At what point do coincidences stop being coincidences?

    Is there an accepted method to determine when it is sound to think that coincidences aren't random? I'm talking in every day life, where things happen without lab conditions, and the mind makes connections between things in a free form way. We all know the mind loves to make connections, but...

    Indian Moon Mission

    Earlier this year we discussed the Israeli Moon Mission, which was an unsuccessful, slapped together at the last minute attempt to make it the 4th country to the moon. On July 22, India launched its attempt. Like the earlier successful Chinese mission, it consists of an orbiter, a lander and a...

    Rand Paul, Peacemaker

    https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/rand-paul-tapped-as-iran-envoy-for-trump-politico-reports-1.7536169 Only an idiot would make Rand Paul a special diplomatic envoy tasked with preventing a war. And today, he did. Still better than John Bolton.

    Nikki Haley has just resigned

    Why? Not yet known. Went straight to Trump to do it. Coincidently, (?) there was another article about her accepting expensive flights paid for by certain 'businessmen.' Also, she implicitly criticized the GOP's line on sexual harassment accusers.

    DNC changes rules on superdelegates

    One of the big beefs many have had with the DNC were the superdelegates: Party functionaries who played an outsize role in deciding presidential nominations. While I had mixed opinions about them, many were bitter that they were too powerful. Now the DNC rules committee has responded to the...

    Things Religious People Just Made Up: An incomplete list

    This thread is to record our interesting encounters with religious people struggling with theology, fact, and the truth. Please note: I don't mean "Everything about religion," when I refer to things people just made up. I don't mean actual scripture, longstanding tradition, the work of...

    Learning Languages

    An unusual hobby, but does anyone else do it? I have been rather bored and not intellectually challenged lately, and I also decided to give up (or strictly curtail) video game playing, so I found myself needing a hobby. I tried taking up leatherworking, but, alas, like all handcrafts, I have...

    The Great Media Purge of 2017: rules

    We are in the midst of a long-overdue reckoning for an industry where sexual exploitation was long considered to be a perk. As the pins continue to fall, I am now curious, how do we, as consumers, react to these events? Do we stop consuming all products from the guilty parties, so that no...

    Indictment coming for Netanyahu

    I've been watching the unedifying spectacle of Netanyahu's political career ever since Rabin was assassinated. Now, finally, potentially career-ending indictments are coming for him. There have been a multitude of investigations into his alleged corruption for as long as he's been a public...

    Another thread about Trump's hair, except a different Trump.

    Where did Donald Jr's black hair come from? Aren't both his alleged parents fair haired?

    Actors who remind you of other actors.

    First I have a serious question: What actor reminds you of both Dustin Hoffman and Robert DeNiro, but isn't either one? I'm recalling a movie about the American Revolutionary War, and I thought it starred one of those two, but I can't seem to find it on either of their filmographies...

    Symbols of resistance

    I was thinking of resurrecting the ol' Cross of Lorraine to symbolize resistance to Trump and his neo-nazis. Unfortunately, people these days are more likely to associate that symbol either with Christianity, the tyrannical power in 'V for Vendetta,' or the American Lung Association. So that...

    Please clap: A list of republicans who continue to stand up to trump, no matter how ineffectually

    There seems to be no chance that the republican establishment will do anything except roll over for Trump. Not one republican person given a chance to denounce Bannon as 'chief strategist' has done so. There have been some glimmers of opposition to a few things, and let's give credit where...
