Reason Magazine - Would you give up your immortality to ensure the success of a posthuman world?
I still argue that transhumanists that believe in any sort mass exodus from the biological substrate we now inhabit (our bodies) are full of it. Download your brain? Yeah, that sounds like a fucking blast. We’ll never leave the […]

From a Church on Hill St. Thing is, I saw this same sign near verbatim over ten years ago in Athens, GA on a particularly very hot day riding in my little-to-no AC Subaru down Oglethorpe Ave. It was funny then. But apparently God is running out of original threats.

Brother Billy’s back, freshly caped, with some kind of creefy (that’s goofy and creepy combined) Jim Jones in Pepperland thing going on. This song rules though, without a doubt.

I think it would have been really funny though if he had replaced D’Arcy and James with true look-a-likes, instead of just female/male partial-simulacrum. Or just […]

Now, even if you don’t believe the government should be involved in public education or health care, this is still money that could be spent elsewhere. In other words, it’s your money, beeyatch! Wake up! See “What $1.2 Trillion Can Buy.” Imagine if […]

Dude, it ain’t over…Part II.
