you just know somebody’s being called by their full name right now
A striped cat appears to be “yelling” at a kitten with the exact same coloring. The kitten’s eyes are wide open and their ears pinned back.

I've given a couple of talks on the Scopes Trial. Working to make it different from the others, which makes it more fun for me, too. You can't skip the "greatest hits", though. This version will be at www.SkeptiCalcon.org conference Saturday 8/23. Come by if you're in northern CA or environs!

So grateful to NPR and NYT for streaming Trump's press conference at the NATO meeting. Anyone who still thinks that this person is in full command of his faculties is not paying attention. My God, how embarrassing to our country. Just listening makes my head ache.

For years in the US we have said we like Iranian people, but not the Iranian government. I'm hoping the rest of the world extends the same courtesy to the US these days. In Canada, I'm happy to say, I found welcomes, and hugs. Elbows up, Canada! And good luck Mr Carney.

So delighted that Joe Nickell got an obit in the NYT. I knew him in the late 1970s at the Univ KY where he was an English PhD student -- and we remained friends as fellow skeptics until his death this year. It's a wonderful obit, too. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/s...
Joe Nickell, Paranormal Investigator and ‘Real-Life Scully,’ Dies at 80
A professional skeptic, he took on hundreds of mysteries, offering rational explanations for the Loch Ness monster, the Shroud of Turin and countless hauntings.

Late to report, but the Oakland Hands Off rally was terrific. Aeriel shot credit Brandon Harami -- I wish there was a reliable crowd estimate, but clearly thousands. Good signs, also.

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

1998, at the Univ of Tennessee's Darwin Day, with the late Will Provine, with whom I disagreed about a lot of things. But that shouldn't get in the way of getting along, right?

In 2025, the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Trial, there is still much to be learned. Like, shouldn't legislators know something about the topics they propose legislation about? My @ncse.bsky.social colleague Glenn Branch has another good article www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...
A century after Scopes 'monkey trial,' U.S. still debates theory of evolution | Opinion
Butler Act banned Tennessee educators from teaching evolution, but the key lawamker later admitted that he didn't know anything about the topic.

There are a lot of people who thought that being asked to wear a mask was tyranny who are totally fine with the president sending people to a foreign gulag with no trial
