When I was a kid, if a guy wiped his ass and dressed well, we called him metrosexual, implying that he's gay.
Now we call him performative, implying that he's a manipulator.
We've come a long way since 2005.

"You don’t need a formal conspiracy when interests converge. These people went to the same universities and fraternities, they’re on the same boards of directors, they’re on the same country clubs, they have like-interests. They don’t need to call a meeting; they know what is good for THEM."

My skepticism book club meets this Sunday to discuss 'The Bible Unearthed' by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman.
Can anyone recommend podcasts or YouTube channels that compare The Bible to archaeological and historical record?

Later, a few of us were puzzling over this mystery symbol in Twin Peaks: The Return.
On my first viewing, I happily took it to be an open-ended mystery without a definitive answer.

I watched E7 & E8 of Twin Peaks: The Return last night. Every time I watched E7, I get a little teared up thinking of the scene that Mark Frost co-wrote for his father, Warren Frost, who plays Doctor Hayward.
Warren Frost had Alzheimer's at the time. The episode ends with a dedication to him.
