is the worst kind of twaddle
It's the Daily Mail. Twaddle is their speciality. (And yes, I am saying "speciality" in a Wallace & Gromit voice in my head.)
Buffy: Synchronized slaying. Faith: New Olympic category?
'Conversations with Dead People'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I thought reactionary jackassery was the Daily Mail's speciality, with the twaddle being a side bonus.

Speaking as a Presbyterian agnostic here, stealing communion wafers is horrible and disrespectful at the very least,
Nods.
and I do wonder if it wouldn't be possible to prosecute it as petty theft of some kind.
Oh hell no.
I'm sorry. There's just a lot of shit that goes down in this world that's horrible and disrespectful. And you know what? Nobody has an innate right not to be horrifed or disrespected. Least of all a massive worldwide institution with a problematic history of its own.

Eeeeee. Um. Now Google want me to come in on Monday. Possibly because I also applied for another position within the company and another recruiter contacted me?

Interesting reading about the Pharyngula blog post.
I can see why some might find what he wrote there offensive. I think the offense shown by Donohue and other church reps is overblown, and frankly highlights somthing I've been feeling quite a bit over the last decade -- that people need to be less offended, particularly over religion. Maybe the world would cool down a bit if people could stop getting so worked up over religion.
It's a bit much to ask. I know.

All right! Intra-Google wars over shrift hireage! There'll be nerf-bat battles in the hallways.

You know, it's a pain in the ass to provide doc for a personnel review when for the 2 people you work most with, you are all "They are awesome and wonderful and I love them" but the third, you basically just see them run a meeting and call with "help!fixit!" and they do and that's the extent of it. And they've got an "interesting" personality that is totally NOT a problem. It looks like damning with faint praise, but so totally isn't.
And holy cow, my jaw hates me for the dental work I just had done.
