This is secular living with a pulse: sweat, appetite, style, thought, beauty, decent lighting, a kitchen that gets wrecked on purpose, and a mind that stays gloriously unbound with bullshit.

Christopher Hitchens says goodbye, and Professor Richard Dawkins embraces him for the last time in eternity. If this doesnât make you cry, youâre a cold, cold son-of-a-gun.#christopherhitchens

It wasnât playing pool with US Naval Officers in one of the worldâs most remote Naval bases. It was not wading in crystal clear turquoise waters with manta rays swimming at my feet.

It takes us through the first beam when the LHC is first turned on and th
