The oceans are telling us a story darker than anything the Victorians on HMS Challenger could have imagined. Human ancestry is telling us one too, and we’re still barely listening. Two TIES webinars this week. Nov 11 + Nov 13. Register here: https://t.co/kzW1mF5bGV

Jim Underdown doesn’t argue over ghosts on the internet. He scientifically tests the claims in real life. And he puts $500,000 on the line to prove it. @WGNTV just profiled him: https://t.co/FMqtXnWO8T This is skepticism at work 👏

CFI President & CEO Robyn Blumner said: ""We are relieved to see that reconsideration of this marker of secular humanist social progress seems to be a step too far, even for this court." https://t.co/IMwW0XdPx7

The IRS abandoned the Johnson Amendment and signaled they won't enforce it. So, NY is stepping in where the feds won’t. A.9067 stops tax-deductible church money from quietly becoming campaign money. New Yorkers, tell your Assembly members to pass this: https://t.co/Y8IiHt5RMk

The Constitution’s architecture assumes ambition would counteract ambition. Today, we’re watching a branch of government surrender on purpose. @FreeInquiry digs into what that collapse looks like in real time: https://t.co/ZqcRpWk0sY

The fiction in #StrangerThings isn’t even the wild part. The 80s were. We funded spying on foreign governments with psychics. We ruined lives over Satanic Panic conspiracies. @SkeptInquirer on how the show mirrors the era + what it warns us about now:

250 years of American independence, and apparently the plan is to commemorate it with government-backed revival meetings. @FreeInquiry breaks down why we're already primed for this Feucht vision: https://t.co/hSexF6Z9tl

72% of Americans believe near-death experiences are proof of the soul leaving the body. @KennyBiddle42 begs to differ. On last night’s @Nightline feature, @SkeptInquirer’s chief investigator brought a dose of skepticism to the afterlife. Happy Halloween, folks 👻
