What's In a Name?

In my neck of the woods, the north-eastern part of Texas, there are two schools of higher education whose names have always caused me minor irritation... TCU and SMU, also known as Texas Christian University and Southern Methodist University. It's clear from their names that some faucets of their information streams may be crimped as certain modern scientific facts and/or philosophies may not be considered Jesus-y enough for malleable young matriculators. For us 'enlightened' types the names of these colleges almost scream "Bronze age taught here."

It's clear from the data that the U.S. is rapidly becoming more secular, to the point where someday a freshmen on campus might look at the sign over the door and say "Who's this 'Christian' guy this place is named after?"

All I'm suggesting is that now would be as good as time as any for these schools, and many others like them, to consider re-branding else they might soon find themselves as out of date as Southern Mithra University or Texas Canaanite University.

Thank you...

Since I am ranting - am I the only one who hopes that the MAGAT King gets what his lawyers have asked for? Good piece over at EW:

eddi -

Right? Nothing screams "eye yam an easily manipulated maroon" like adhering to the tenets of stone and bronze age mythologies in the modern age. When there are easily provable truths that do not require blind faith.

People who have faith/spirituality/gullibility etc. and keep it quietly to themselves as they contemplate their navels, why their cat communes with the creature under the bed or prehensile nipples etc. - have at it.

Those of this ilk:

Them: "my beliefs prohibit me from doing that."

Us: 'that's cool.'

Them: "my beliefs prohibit you from doing that."

Us: 'you can go go thrill-fuck a chainsaw.'

are the problem - and politicians & clergy count on that blind ignorance/arrogance.

I'm Benji and I approved this message.

The sooner teaching anything about religion is in College Anthropology under "Historic Superstitions and The Horrors They Created" with Logic 101 and and any good hard science intro with a physical lab as prerequisites, the better.

UAW has the full support of everybody but Republicans and the upper managements of the auto industry.

This going to play Hell with the GOP/Evangelical "Breed them To Death" movement. A third of women, even in safe states are afraid of the complications of law colliding with medicine.
No vaccine mandates. At present there are none planned anyway.
He has done a full flip and is flopping badly. No budget until Biden is impeached.
Trump wants the old Spoils System. NYT is blocked for me but Yahoo isn't. news.yahoo.com/biden-seeks-preempt-gop-attempts-150707301.html

Words fail me. But everyone else is having a grand old time.

Donald Trump bungled his criticisms of rival Joe Biden in a speech Friday at the Pray Vote Stand summit in which he said the current president is “cognitively impaired” and will lead the world into a second world war. “Just think of it,” Trump said. “We would be in World War II very quickly if we’re going to be relying on this man.” This is unlikely; World War Two ended 78 years ago. Trump also seemed to suggest that he is leading former President Barack Obama in polls of the 2024 race, despite Obama not being in the contest. “As you know, crooked Joe Biden and the radical left thugs have weaponized law enforcement to arrest their leading political opponent, and leading by a lot, including Obama—I’ll tell you what,” Trump said.
