TIL that in Arkansas atheists are prohibited from holding office or testifying in court.

Arkansas is only one of the six states in the US that bans atheists from holding public office.

TIL that, although six states have laws on the books banning atheists from public office, the Supreme Court ruled in 1961 that those laws are unconstitutional and unenforceable. Thank God. (Yes, pun intended.)

What am I meant to be seeing here? I'm guessing there was a photo here at some point? Sorry, must have missed it when it was first posted.

Kim, I've seen this happen with a couple of pics you've posted previously (or not seen, to be more accurate) and I think what's going on is that your album permissions aren't set to let everyone view images. You might want to check to see whether your settings are for pics to be visible only to those on your friends list.

..what a filibuster is. Genuinely fascinating as we don't use term here.

The English term "filibuster" derives from the Spanish filibustero, itself deriving originally from the Dutch vrijbuiter, "privateer, pirate, robber" (also the root of English "freebooter"[2]). The Spanish form entered the English language in the 1850s, as applied to military adventurers from the United States then operating in Central America and the Spanish West Indies such as William Walker.[3][4] (See Filibuster (military).)

I learned that, too. Also that some people are awfully poor losers and winners.
