It is the place where right wing talking points go to die. Doug.Goodall Jun 2020 #1

It's the new Twitter for them...they all went there in the last few days Leghorn21 Jun 2020 #2

People tell me it's where their circle jerk meet-ups are planned. TheBlackAdder Jun 2020 #3

IIRC PZ Meyers recently posted about it at his blog pharyngula bobbieinok Jun 2020 #4

I heard that one must join Cirque du So-What Jun 2020 #5
