Religion is child abuse. No surprise there'd be more. They're already in the business. It's on the package. That's what they're selling.

They take young inquisitive minds and teach them to be subject and secondary to archaic bullshit and propaganda as early as they can listen, teaching them they deserve abuse and can't trust their senses and intuitions and sense of self. It's fucking disgusting.
Even the best pieces of religion are just a table setting, training to lay down a lifetime of torment and failure. A means to take away any agency and decency and accomplishment an individual might have, so they can be appropriated and misused by greedy lying abusive fucks in supposed positions of power, people we're supposed to respect.

Religion has no place in society. It is a perversion and a derangement of the natural sense in decent individuals that there should be goodness between people and that we should improve ourselves and our environment in a meaningful way. It is absolutely designed to debase human's faith in ourselves and has only survived because successful religions piggyback on the worst parts of vestigial tribal instincts, outlets for which have otherwise been mostly removed from modern life.

Not to my knowledge. (Didn't look it up, but thought it was him and Laura Prepon that were. And she might have left, not sure.) Just was referring to how Scientology has a history of blackmail.

What does Scientology have on these two? Yuck.

That fucking guy? That they had this clown make a statement about their plans on ethics tells us all we need to know. What fucking jokes these assholes are. Shit is intentional and premeditated.

I mean, it was never worth what he paid for it. But, he's definitely devalued it by a lot.

Yes: Companies That Union-Bust Must Now Automatically Recognize Union, NLRB Rules

It's just republicans trying to politic to their base by misconstruing the facts. Fact is republicans have always been anti-labor. While, unfortunately democrats don't campaign well on their actual accomplishments for working people and tend to expect those accomplishments to stand for themselves. This is also why republicans are mostly dumb and tend to believe whatever the most reactionary (and loud) voice in the room tells them is true, even while those same people stab them in the back while lying to their face.

The Wolves of NIMH would've been a much, much scarier young adult novel.
