Yet again, a bunch of idiots are protesting Michigan’s stay-at-home order by showing up and yelling at politicians who are listening to scientists and public health officials. The theme of the protest appears to be “I don’t know,” as one of the speakers asks the seemingly rhetorical question “how did they get 6 feet?”, only […] More
In 2016, Elon Musk created a company called Neuralink with the goal of developing implantable brain-computer interfaces in humans. The short-term goal of the company is to treat people with brain injuries caused by stroke or other diseases, and could be available as early as next year. Neuralink has developed “threads” to link human brains […] More
According to a new study in the journal Vaccine, the majority of anti-vaccine advertisements on Facebook were paid for by just two organizations. The same study found that pro-vaccine advertisements were funded by 83 unique organizations.

Last weekend, protesters claiming to belong to Antifa and the “Proud Boys” clashed in the streets of Portland, as well as on the internet. The images from the streets of Portland seem to tell a story of violence from the far-left group, so much so that Trump has referred to Antifa as a “terrorist group.” […] More
Meet Leucochloridium paradoxum, a parasite better known as the “zombie snail” worm. This colorful little guy gets into snails, takes control of it, mimics a caterpillar or maggot, and directs the snail to an exposed area so that a bird will eat it. Yes, this is really a real thing. As biologist Mike Inouye tweeted […] More
As I wrote about a couple weeks ago, schools in Kentucky are required to display the “In God We Trust” motto in a prominent location. It’s a clear endorsement of Christianity by what is supposed to be a secular government. But as Hemant Mehta at Friendly Atheist pointed out, one school found an interesting loophole […] More

A totally serious and completely real Biblical prophecy claims that the apocalypse will happen in December 2019, ending life as we know it on Earth once and for all. More specifically, on December 28th. FREAKING FINALLY. It’s about damn time. I’ve been getting pretty tired of all these wannabe apocalypse events that end up falling […] More
Neophytos Masouras, a bishop of a Greek Orthodox Church, told a group of schoolchildren that gay people exist because their mothers had anal sex while they were pregnant (and they liked it). Another day, another religious nutcase saying something completely ridiculous and objectively false. During “spiritual meetings of dialogue” (whatever that means), Masouras told the […] More
To comply with new legislation, all schools in Kentucky must now display an “In God We Trust” sign in a prominent area of their schools prior to students returning this fall.
