Adam Savage Joins JREF Board

I wonder how long before he works out that the forum exists? Or more seriously before he joins the forum?

People with a strong media presence don't generally hang out in places like this. Ends up with more attention than they would like.

Given that he has been associated with the JREF for some time now he has probably been aware of this place already anyway. If he does show up it may be just to look around. Or register an account with a different name and be anonymous to us.
 
Maybe he and Jamie could use their considerable talents and funds to tackle a new myth:

JREF slowdowns are due to insufficient server memory.

  • Confirmed.
  • Plausible
  • Busted


:rolleyes:

Apparently the chaps name is Savage? Lets see if he's into Bayesian statistics. I wonder if he could convince his ginger assistant to tag along. I'm thinking calendars, you know, fund raising for a new server or something.

I think it's a great choice that should help popularize the JREF and the causes it promotes, but I've already seen drama (surprise!) around this announcement in social media given Adam's apparent links to certain skeptic feminist individuals/groups.

This bull **** is getting SO *********** tiresome.

What possible reason could any thinking being have for objecting to Savage joining JREF?

So, is he a rape culture/patriarchy apologist? Or a skeptic hating SJW? I can't get to a whole lot of social media because the really swell military government here seems to be erecting its own Great Firewall of Soi Walking Street. I can get to a page here and there, but if I try to read anything, it invariably times out on me. Trying to keep up with the excitement of the Atheist/Skeptic infighting has been impossible for the last three weeks.

The website situation is a very complicated and difficult one. It is a high priority for the organization.

We are actively working on it.

Questions, comments, concerns can be sent to Sharon@randi.org

That would be me.
