Science Enthusiast. Atheist. Lover of cats.
Recently, someone I know aired a grievance regarding banana pancakes and the horrid phenomenon of bananas actually being cooked into the pancake itself. The person had just eaten “banana pancakes” from a pancake house and was advocating for the bananas to be cooked inside the pancake itself, rather than placed on top once the cooking […] More
After all this time, we’re finally going to see the dark underbelly of the 2016 Trump Presidential Campaign. For two years, Robert Mueller and his team have been investigating Trump and basically any organization remotely affiliated with him. Finally, what happened is going to be exposed to the light of day. The details are far […] More
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLORIDA – After the massive success of SpaceX’s re-usability of their rockets and Crew Capsule, NASA has announced a bold new plan to make spaceflight even cheaper. NASA will stop their previous practice of simply throwing away crew members in favor of re-using them. In a partnership with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program – […] More
We’ve posted a lot about anti-vaxxers lately because they’re doing seemingly everything they can to Make Preventable Diseases Great Again. So much so that we’ve received negative feedback about it: lol. But it’s an important issue because of the potential ramifications for society as a whole. In general, anti-vaxxers aren’t stupid, and it doesn’t help […] More
Most of us in the Northern Hemisphere (in scientific terms, we call this the “top half” of the Earth) are gearing up for spring. Rainy weather, yes, but eventually the flora in god’s chosen country will come to life (and more importantly, I can put my tomato plants in the ground so they stop occupying […] More
The Christian activist group ‘One Million Moms’ who, as of this writing have 3,649 followers on Twitter, are taking the makers of Kit Kat to task for their new ad because Missy Elliott reminds them of penises. In case you didn’t notice, I filed this one under the category ‘Previously Unsaid Sentences’ because this is […] More
According to a report, a prominent anti-vaccine activist and politician in Italy has been hospitalized with the completely preventable childhood disease we all lovingly know as chickenpox. Massimiliano Fedriga, who is the president of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region and member of the right-wing Northern League party, revealed he was ill on Twitter. He previously argued […] More
As I’ve said before, If you ever want to have your faith in humanity destroyed, join an anti-vaxxer group. A few years ago, I joined a handful of groups just to see what kinds of conversations were happening and to try to understand their logic. Spoiler alert: there is no logic to be found. Thanks […] More
According to a report by the Associated Press, the investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by Neil deGrasse Tyson has ended and both of his TV shows will return to television. The National Geographic Channel said in a statement Friday that Tyson’s “StarTalk” will return to the air in April with the 13 episodes that remain […] More
Ah yes, Indiana. My home state. The state where I was born, grew up, and have lived all 35 years of my life. With exception of Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, the Chicago area, and a pocket near Bloomington (where Indiana University is located), the state is very much pro-Trump. After all, our state legislature tried to let […] More
There are a lot of people who try to stretch the whole “no such thing as a stupid question” phrase. Generally, I think it’s great for people to ask questions (how else are they supposed to learn?), but sometimes there are questions that are so stupid that they probably should never have been asked. This […] More
Over the weekend, Pete Davidson said what I think is probably one of the most true (the truthiest?) things that’s ever been said on late-night television. In the “Weekend Update” segment of Saturday Night Live, Davidson appeared (as himself) and discussed the litany of sexual abuse charges facing rapper R Kelly. As we posted about yesterday, […] More
