Nothing to see here.

Just physicist Lawrence Krauss telling Jeffrey Epstein, "Beyond anything else, you are my friend. I hope we can both always remember that, no matter what."

Non-religious voters in New York City overwhelmingly backed Mamdani over Cuomo, according to NBC News exit polls.

If anyone's in the Orlando area, I'll be giving a free talk this Sunday afternoon for the Central Florida Freethought Community. (Donations are welcome!)

Hope to see you there.

This is a very real, utterly thoughtless comment from a pastor in the wake of a tragedy:

"We are sad that our community is going through this, but it’s a tremendous opportunity for the church to minister to a lot of those people today."

Imagine being so bad at your job that people across your state have parties after you announce your resignation.

It's the first good thing Ryan Walters has done for teachers in Oklahoma.

How it started. How it’s going.

The Creationists are so close to getting it...

Whoa.

Ryan Walters may be resigning to go work with a right-wing group.

If true, it’s hard to see how Oklahoma could do worse, even if he’s replaced by another Republican.

This is a really great lineup for a free, virtual event for young atheists who want to be activists and advocates.

Christian preacher and self-described prophet Hank Kunneman says "we" own a lot of land and property in the area because of "you."

But not before begging his followers to help him pay off nearly $10 million of debt.

Congrats to @ffrf.org’s Maddy Ziegler on her #NYTXW debut!

Why does God allow innocent children to die?

MAGA preacher Robert Jeffress says God is keeping that a secret.

"It's not because there's not an answer. God has an answer! But I think He knows that we're incapable of understanding that answer."

Trans women are not “real women,” says Richard Dawkins.

(But he and his fans get big mad when you call them transphobic.)

Indiana's Christian Nationalist Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith says if you teach evolution in school, "don't be mad when kids commit suicide."

The @ffrf.org sent letters to two school districts that were violating the law, laying out the concerns and urging them to stop.

Oklahoma's Ryan Walters sued FFRF for interfering with his authority.

A judge just told Walters he's full of shit.

Omg. After writing an entire book denouncing a fictional left-wing "War on Science" that doesn't exist, Lawrence Krauss is now trying to do damage control.

Apparently he just now realized Trump is bad for science.

But he's still trying to "both sides" this to save face.

It’s almost like right-wing cranks are waging an actual war on science.
