If you’re reading this, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the kids wearing MAGA hats who harassed a Native American veteran. From there, the headlines and articles write themselves, and our cup of outrage runneth over. There’s only one problem with it – it’s not factually correct. At best, the situation was wildly mischaracterized by the media. […] More
Vice President Mike Pence is undeniably a self-evident, far-right, theocratic bigot with 19th century ideas about social values, but I think it’s very important to remember something else about him. He’s also a giant moron. Now, I happen to be of the political bent that would put me in a frame of mind to call […] More
I don’t want to jerk you guys around too much, so I’m going to get straight out to it, and give you the hard facts, as they’re being released and given to us: spanking it at work is good for you, according to…at least this one psychologist. Mark Sergeant, a senior lecturer in psychology at […] More
The Internet is largely fueled by a handful things. Free adult content, social media political arguments, embedded ads, Star Wars rumors, and viral cat-related content. When it comes to that last one, the majority of cat memes and videos are predicated on one, abiding principle — cats are, generally Jerky McJerkJerks. Except, what if I told […] More
According to a new case study, a 33 year old man injected his own semen into his arm 18 times over the course of a year and a half as a treatment for chronic back pain. The case study was published in the Irish Medical Journal with the title “Semenly” Harmless Back Pain: An Unusual Presentation […] More
A new study published in the journal Nature found that extreme opponents of genetically modified food know the least about genetic engineering, but think that they know the most. I filed this post under “duh” because, well, duh. In a press release, Phil Fernbach, the lead author of the study, said “Extreme views often stem from people feeling they […] More
Everything is, generally speaking, a massive dumpster fire of incompetence, corruption, confusion, lies, and craziness right now, but the random chaos machine that is our existence has given us reason to smile, because Steve Carell and the people who created “The Office” are joining forces for a show about President Donald Trump’s most ingenuous idea […] More
According to NBC News, a Catholic hotel dishwasher in Miami was awarded $21.5 million after a jury ruled that her employer ‘violated her religious rights’ by repeatedly scheduling her to work on Sundays, and eventually firing her. So… How ’bout that war on Christianity, eh? Get our ‘Save the planet’ shirt, on sale now in […] More
Lunar plants, we hardly knew ye. Earlier this month, China made history with their Chang’e 4 mission by being the first country to successfully soft land a rover on the far side of the moon. Previous lunar soft landings had been on the side of the moon that is always visible to Earth (as it […] More
As first reported by our friends over at Friendly Atheist, a Christian homeless shelter filed a lawsuit against the city of Anchorage, Alaska for the right to refuse services for trans people. Because nothing screams Christian Values™ more than judging someone on what genitals they were born with. Alliance Defending Freedom argues that the Hope […] More
Another one for the “No Duh” file that still sadly has to be signal boosted because of the ignorance of way too many humans. The World Health Organization has listed “vaccine hesitancy” — which is the nice, clinical term for what we all call “anti-vaxxers” — as one of the ten most dangerous health threats […] More
Rick and Morty is arguably one of the best adult-oriented animated shows in the history of history. And if you disagree, I’ll allow Reddit to explain why you’re wrong: To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical […] More
