Science Enthusiast. Atheist. Lover of cats.
While poking around NASA’s website to write my obituary for the Mars Opportunity mission, I stumbled across something that should lift all our spirits: Valentine’s Day cards from outer space! Get this heroic Catstronaut on an all-over print shirt, tank top, hoodie, and more, only available in our store! Yes, I’m aware that Valentine’s Day […] More
Today, NASA is expected to officially announce what we’ve all been suspecting since last summer. NASA’s Mars Opportunity rover is officially dead. Edit to update: NASA has released an official statement saying that Oppy is dead. Goodnight, sweet prince. It’s been eight months since we last heard from Opportunity. That last communication came just as […] More
Yesterday, I was happily scrolling through my Facebook feed when I happened upon a post by The Atlantic that made me audibly say “what the fuck?” Sorry Betteridge, I believe “what the fuck” is the only reasonable response to this headline. Not wanting to judge or comment on an article before reading it, I took the time […] More
Another week, another viral “story” going around with a headline that doesn’t quite match the actual story. A few weeks ago, the internet lost its collective mind over #SmirkGate and again just last week with #NeesonGate. And because the internet apparently has an extremely short term memory when it comes to being duped by misleading headlines, […] More
Fair warning, there are graphic images below. The Daily Mail reported that Dragana Petrovic shared images of her two year old daughter who passed away from Measles on an Australian Facebook page called Light for Riley, begging parents to vaccinate their children. Get our ‘Vaccines work’ shirt, available only in our store! Petrovic’s daughter, Nadja, had been diagnosed […] More
According to reporting from Raw Story, Eric Porterfield, a republican delegate from West Virginia, compared gay people to the Ku Klux Klan. You know, because they’re so similar. Not to be outdone by himself, he also made homophobic statements for the second time last week, as Raw Story explained: “The LGBTQ [sic] is a modern day version […] More
Ah, the internet. A treasure trove of information, cat memes, and videos my kids watch on YouTube that result in them demanding I shoot a super slo-mo video of the Hot Wheels track they built from the second floor to the first floor of our house: (Yes, I setup lights for it, and yes, our […] More
As more and more states legalize medical and recreational cannabis, we’re getting more and more actual scientific research about the effect weed has on humans beyond, and I’m being scientific af when I say this, “being just great.” After all, Carl Sagan himself once wrote “the illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full […] More
Not to be outdone by wine as a replacement to exercise, new research has found that cheese protects from “both total mortality and mortality from cerebrovascular causes.” So I can only assume that this means that soon, instead of protecting kids at school with kevlar jackets, we’ll be using bulletproof jackets made of cheese. (This […] More
We told you. We tried to warn you. “Trump is going to drain the swamp! Trump is going to fix our broken tax system!” These were the cheers heard from the right. Trump supporters were elated when Trump finally passed his tax reform. You know, the bill that was great for corporations but thoroughly dicked down […] More
Vani Hari, better known as ‘Food Babe‘, posted a live video earlier this week complaining that Costco wouldn’t be carrying her new book, which is perfectly titled Feeding You Lies. I say it’s perfect because I can only assume it’s an autobiography where she explains how she built her empire though lies and misinformation. She starts out […] More
According to data from the Center for Disease Control, there have already been more cases of Measles in 2019 than there were in the entirety of 2010 or 2012. And if this pace stays the same, it will be on par with 1994, when there was 958 cases of Measles in the United States. via […] More
