My activism isn’t led by battle cry. I just file complaints about misleading health claims I come across. It feels pointless sometimes. I’d prefer to see companies comply with advertising codes rather than shut down their beliefs altogether. It’s exhausting to watch skeptics mock people on social media instead of having meaningful discussions. I just want consumers to have the right information to make informed choices. It’s not about silencing others; it’s about ensuring honesty in advertising. #Activism #ConsumerRights #AdvertisingStandards #Skepticism #SocialMedia

The Telepathy Tapes have been making the rounds, stirring up some chatter about telepathy and nonverbal autistic children. It seems like the idea of mind-reading has always fascinated people. But honestly, the evidence is weak at best. Many claims lack support, and it's a bit worrying to see such uncritical discussions. Skepticism isn't a bad thing; it just means we need better evidence. It’s all getting a bit tiresome, really. Maybe we should have seen this coming. #TelepathyTapes #AutismAwareness #Skepticism #MindReading #Pseudoscience

skepticism, open-mindedness, critical thinking, paranormal beliefs, personal growth, self-reflection, evidence-based thinking, doubt, education ## Introduction Four years ago, I took a step that many might consider unconventional: I decided to doubt everything I knew. While skepticism may seem daunting, it can be a liberating journey towards open-mindedness. In this article, I will share my experiences and insights into becoming a skeptic, and hopefully, provide some useful tips for those who ...

spiritualism, Browne Boys, Melbourne, Arthur Conan Doyle, psychic phenomena, mediums, missing persons, controversial beliefs, skepticism, the supernatural ## Introduction Let’s get one thing straight: spiritualism is not just some quaint belief system from the past. It’s a dangerous cocktail of desperation and delusion that was, and still is, exploited by charlatans masquerading as mediums. In Melbourne, Australia, this absurdity reached a climax with the infamous case of the Browne Boys. Thei...

The mystery of the Rendelsham Forest UFO case continues to spark our imaginations! 🌌✨ Recently, a claim suggested that it could have been a prank, but let’s not forget the importance of thorough investigation and open-mindedness in the world of ufology! 🔍🤔 Every theory deserves a fair assessment, and while some may feel tempted to dismiss others, true understanding comes from collaboration and respect! 🤝💖 Let's celebrate curiosity and the quest for truth, because every question we ask brings us closer to the stars! 🌠 Keep shining that positive light, and remember: skepticism can coexist with wonder! 💫 #RendelshamUFO #Curiosity #UFOlogy #StayPositive #Seek

Don Philips decided to play the science game but ended up losing. He let scientists examine his so-called unique talents, which is supposed to show that he’s legit. But honestly, it's just not convincing. Some people claim to hear the same thing in his EVP recordings, but that doesn’t mean they’re ghosts. It’s more likely just random noise interpreted by the brain—classic pareidolia. Even with a small sample of listeners agreeing, it doesn't prove anything. It’s all a bit dull, really. Let's not get too excited about this. #DonPhilips #GhostResearch #EVP #Skepticism #Paranormal

What are you so afraid of, Don? Is it the specter of scientific scrutiny looming over your ghostly escapades? Or perhaps the haunting silence of those who once believed – now skeptics clutching their cameras, waiting for the “evidence” you claim to have? Your open invitation to esteemed skeptics is adorable, but let’s be real: would they really want to risk their reputation by ghost-hunting with a team that believes in “spirit replies”? Transparency is great, but only if there’s something worth seeing! The real question is, who’s hiding behind those shadows? #GhostHunting #Skepticism #ParanormalInvestigation #DonPhilips #HauntingTruths

Organizing skeptics can be a wild adventure, much like herding cats! 🐱💫 It's essential to embrace the unique voices and ideas that each individual brings to the table. Just like the diverse Skeptics in the Pub groups, we must celebrate our differences instead of trying to mold everyone into a single mold. Every perspective adds value to our community! 🌈✨ Let’s focus on collaboration and understanding rather than division. Remember, skepticism is a journey, not a destination! So let’s uplift each other and enjoy the ride! 🚀💖 #Skepticism #Community #Diversity #Positivity #Support

The ongoing obsession with "Bownessie" is nothing short of absurd! The so-called "evidence" presented by eyewitnesses, including photos that supposedly show a lake monster, is riddled with flawed reasoning and misidentifications. How can we trust someone like Linden Adams when he himself admits that the object could easily be a bird or a log? This is a classic case of people wanting to believe in the fantastical rather than face the mundane reality. The burden of proof lies firmly on those claiming there’s a monster lurking in the depths. Until then, let’s stop wasting time on these wild speculations! #Bownessie #LakeMonster #Misidentification #Skepticism #RealityCheck

Further thoughts of the day. Honestly, the feedback from my last blog post was pretty annoying. It seems like people are misinterpreting my points about 'believers vs. Guerrilla Skeptics'. I just wanted to share my observations, but instead, it feels like I opened a can of worms. Some think I'm saying skepticism shouldn't be challenged, which is just wrong. There’s bias on both sides, and it’s frustrating to see reasonable critiques dismissed as closed-mindedness. I guess it’s easier to ignore the nuances. Anyway, if you’re interested in this back-and-forth, feel free to check it out. Not that it’ll change much. #Skepticism #Believers #GuerrillaSkept

Weakly Ghost Bulletin #11 is here, I guess. Another week, another collection of ghost stories that seem to pop up for no real reason. This time, we have a wedding photo with a ghost photobombing a couple, and another one with a samurai ghost lurking behind a little girl. They’re probably just people who got caught in the frame, but whatever. Loftus Hall has released yet another ghost photo that honestly looks like just a building in the background. It’s all the same, really. Thanks to everyone who reads this blog, I suppose. That’s it for this week. #Ghosts #WeaklyGhostBulletin #Photography #Boredom #Skepticism

I was on Episode 32 of The CUSP, the podcast that probably isn't necessary for most. You can listen if you're bored, but fair warning, my throat isn't great right now. I talked a bit about ghost stuff and some of my research, which might be mildly interesting if you’re into that. If you found my site from the show, welcome, I guess. There are some links if you want to dig deeper into what I do. #TheCUSP #GhostResearch #Podcast #Skepticism #Boredom
