Secular Sunday – First Ever Oscars Award Show Where No Winner Thanked God?

According to r/atheism (who helpfully post links to videos/transcripts of all speeches as proof), no winners thanked God in their acceptance speeches at the Oscars last Sunday – the first time that’s ever happened!

Saturday Snap – “Do you need a campaign volunteer who has helped candidates win at least 10% of the campaigns he’s worked on?”

Chief Cadmus Delorme of Cowessess First Nation is one of, if not the most, high profile Indigenous leaders in Saskatchewan for his work in business, child welfare and much more.  (Unfortunately, part of his high profile,including an interview for CBS’s “60 Minutes” show, is for very tragic reasons.) Above is a pic of myself and […]

Secular Sunday – Happy “Feast of the Ass” Weekend!

Sometimes my Secular Sunday posts critique religion using logic and facts. And sometimes I come across a religious festival called “Feast of the Ass” and I have to post it because I have the mentality of a small child. Heh-heh – he said “Ass!”

Secular Sunday – The Positions Modern Religious Republicans Hold Are, Quite Literally, 100% Incorrect

  Think about it. They look at the world through the lens of a religion that is clearly a fantasy. Virtually all their decisions are made looking through that lens. Consequently, virtually all of their beliefs, opinions and decisions are objectively wrong. They reject science in favor of their “faith”, so vaccines are from the […]

Friday Fun Link – Paid Twitter Verified Accounts Running Amok

"I'm gonna be blunt here: Elon Musk is running Twitter into the ground…and it's the best Twitter's ever been." @trevornoah pic.twitter.com/COQ3V0q06b — The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) November 11, 2022 After paying the rather insane sum of $44 billion for Twitter, Elon Musk had to make his money back somehow. Unfortunately, doing away with the site’s […]

Music Monday – “I’m sentimental, if you know what I mean/I love the country but I can’t stand the scene/And I’m neither left or right/I’m just staying home tonight/Getting lost in that hopeless little screen”
