Between Republican Senators (and influencers) beclowning themselves for not knowing how to do research and the White House misspelling the name of the goddamn country on their AI agreement, it certainly has been a banner day for their vision of meritocracy

Or — and just hear me out here — it's the wanton murder and abject, almost gleeful disregard for human life they continually show.

"We're coming for the books" is a hell of a pitch to voters heading into November.

It's wild how fast things have moved during Trump 2.0. Check the "Libertarian" part of the 21st Century Factions section. The Mike Lee cites are from 2023 and... yeah. Not a word I'd use to describe him anymore. Are there any actual libertarians in good standing at the national level in the party?

Ya know, kidnapping a faith leader off an airplane because he has a Hispanic name doesn't seem very religious freedomy to me.

@masnick.com Out of curiosity, is there a post somewhere on @techdirt.com or from Bluesky discussing the implementation of the very cool new card design I'm seeing on Techdirt articles on here?

Chat is it good that your AI agent casually admits that you're violating the law?

Nick Fish @nickfish.me · 28/07/2026
Not disclosing that your unsolicited text came from an AI (and was presumably automated) is both sketchy as hell and sure seems like it would be a violation of anti spam laws, no?

It's really a shame there is no hell
Screenshot of the CDC website page titled "Autism and Vaccines". Under Key Points, it says "The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism."

The Trump White House consistently engages in levels of blasphemy that I, a professional atheist, could only aspire to

The only anchor point I found for the ~30% of Americans who are nonreligious is a passing reference in the 2026 essay to Houston Oasis. With the White Christian Nationalist movement writing vast swaths of America out of our history to justify their bigotry, I just don't think that's good enough.

Literally the only uses of it I can find are by Chuck Schumer! He uses it -- attributed to some unnamed "people" but still in quote -- in his presentation of Sonia Sotomayor at her confirmation hearings. Nothing earlier than that that I can find. It's so bizarre!
2232
Nick Fish @nickfish.me · 06/07/2026
I'm just baffled at this. He used the phrase to close his remarks in Sotomayor's confirmation hearing, but couches it as something "people felt" (while also putting it in quotes).

It's honestly a little dispiriting to know that, as a professional atheist, there is nothing I could do that would be more blasphemous than what White Christian Nationalists and Evangelical grifters do on a daily basis.

Pretty cool that the DOD is writing policy based on 33 year old (!) Simpsons gags.

Nick Fish @nickfish.me · 08/06/2026
Totally agree with @friendlyatheist.com here. This decision is incoherent on its merits. And that's because this is entirely about signaling the Christian Nationalist movement's beliefs about whose beliefs are genuine and worthy of protection and whose are not.

Congressional Freethought Caucus co-founder Jamie Raskin will be in Philly on Friday for an event with Chris Rabb, who is running for the seat in Congress representing most of Philly — including my neighborhood. The event is Friday at the Philadelphia Ethical Society at 2:30pm. See you there!

Last night, the Fifth Circuit ruled 9-8 that Texas could enforce its law requiring the Ten Commandments — a specific version of the Ten Commandments — to be plastered on every public school classroom wall. The court would have you believe it's about history. Bluntly, that's bullshit.

Because the Christian Nationalist ideology doesn't allow for any dissent or criticism. They don't care about the principle of separation. They care that he disagrees with them.

1) I don't have "followers". 2) There's nothing "respectful" about telling a person, unsolicited, that a myth from your religion is the most important thing in life to understand. 3) It's profoundly arrogant to think a low-effort email is what's going to convince a person to change their beliefs.

Remember when conservatives argued that a city government official telling Catholic Social Services that their anti-LGBTQ policies were out of step with the new Pope's teachings was definitely evidence of anti-Catholic animosity? Anyway, just thinking about that for no reason in particular.

Trying to imagine the absolute meltdown we'd be seeing on Fox (and the entire Right Wing media ecosystem) and among "religious freedom" Republicans in Congress if Obama had even gently criticized the Pope while president — nevermind this unhinged screed.

Most people think child marriage is a thing of the past. It isn't. Over 300,000 minors were married in the U.S. between 2000 and 2021. American Atheists is working to end it - in all 50 states. Join the fight. atheists.org/marriage
