I first started doing Jenni’s website back when she was just a girl and her guitar at coffee shops. I enjoyed her music and her company, so I felt compelled…
Joss Whedon was asked, “Why do you write strong female characters?” He replied, “Because you’re still asking me that question.”

Just rewatched this in the theater. #youremindmeofthebabe
I grew up in this area, so I was around when KTXT became “Lubbock’s only alternative.” And, I’m old enough to remember the “this is your brain on drugs” commercials…

Not to say that Max Brooks took the idea from me, but I just want to be clear that I didn’t steal it from him.
I had a couple family members make (what I believe) are huge mistakes by assuming that without religion one cannot have law. They acted like the only place people learn…
Why is it a logic leap to say that existence implies a creator, but statistical inevitability is not? During a discussion I was having with one of my very good…
