Die Hard is the best Christmas movie... Hans down!

Psychics made 2,099 predictions for 2025. Most were wrong. Many were untestable. The big events were missed entirely. King Kong was predicted again, though. gwup | die skeptiker ran the numbers. Reality won: https://ow.ly/IymW50XO3xW

Happy Holiday from all of us at BAHA/BAHACON. Light and joy to you and yours this holiday season. Cannot wait to see you all in 2026. 🧡

Someone accused me of being a hater. That's not true. The only thing I hate is injustice. Oh, and Christmas music.

Are we living through a Third Information Crisis?

Happy Solstice for all our friends far and wide. Although we cannot be with you all this holiday season know that we cherish you all year round.

Beautiful 🥺

Books make the best gifts!🎁 I've got lists upon lists for you in Bookshop. Best 📖for Dads 📖for parents to read out loud 📖to make you rethink everything 📖 historical fiction 📖to understand Christian Nationalism And so many more!

📖 From the archives: Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" electrified Victorian Britain when it was published in December 1843. But it was a secularist tale, and its subversive qualities have been forgotten #booksky

Churches always ask how to bring young people into the fold. Well, now we know what's keeping them out: Irrational beliefs, bigotry, sexism, abuse, and so much more. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/the-real-r...

Hemant is a past speaker of ours and still one of our favorite people. He does great deep dives into this type of news.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

The #winter #solstice arrives Sunday morning. And ~5,000 years later, sunrise on that day will still enter the #roofbox at #Newgrange, sending a narrow beam of light down the passage and illuminating the chamber at its center — exactly as its builders intended.🔭🧪 My essay: 🔗 bit.ly/Why-the-sols...

Come see Melanie in 2026. We love her talks so much and cannot wait for her new book! youtube.com/shorts/Hndbd...

"Purity tests for holidays don't work. ... A strict Christmas in keeping with religious orthodoxy is unfamiliar to virtually everyone who celebrates in the U.S. In other words, there’s no right way to do Christmas, nor any requirement that it be religious." religiondispatches.org/finally-a-re...

Join us today for our Winter Solstice celebration! ❄️ We'll be live from our office in Madison with special musical guest Kristin Lems and FFRF Co-President Dan Barker. They'll be performing a concert with both original and traditional songs. Join us live from Facebook or YouTube at 12:30 p.m. CST!

Forrest Valkai is coming back in 2026. Sharing his phenomenal video essay "Sex and Sensibility". @forrestvalkai.bsky.social youtu.be/nVQplt7Chos?...

Musician Kirsty MacColl died #onthisday in 2000. It's difficult to believe it's been 25 years. We were proud to conduct her humanist funeral, in accordance with her wishes. This Christmas marks the third year without Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl, but still, their voices live on❤️

We are happy to have Andrew as one of our wonderful speakers for BAHACON 2026. He won't get an argument from us on this because Die Hard is a Christmas movie. 🎄

Humanism is six words! 🎄🎅🎁❄️🎊🧦

We love Erika and can't wait to see her back again in 2026! She is a marvel to hear speak.

Thank you for coming. Sorry we didn't see this before. We are always happy to have you with us. 💛

Holy crap, it's finally happening! Get your tickets now to come see Seth, Erika, and I LIVE right here in Tulsa! www.sethandrews.com/seth-forrest...

I made a video about that new Paranthropus hand! youtu.be/WmtNIRqPNc8?...
