The time of year of winter holiday celebrations is upon us, isn’t it? And nothing honors the sanctity of Christmas — the holiday that is ONLY EVER ABOUT THE BIRTH OF BABY JESUS! — like putting up Christmas decorations. That is, of course, unless your decorations are accidentally very inappropriate. …like these! #20. I’m not […] More
Finding the perfect gift for that special someone on your holiday shopping list, only to have it stolen by some nefarious package thieving rapscallion is, to put it in the parlance of our times — really crappy. Fear not, though, intrepid e-commerce shoppers, because the scourge of package theft may soon be a thing of […] More
I’m pretty much a card carrying libtarded democratic socialist. I don’t think I need to go over my liberal bonafides, but I thought it was going to be really important for me to get that out of the way at the outset, because I want to talk about one of the dumbest things I’ve read […] More
The Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program released a photo on Facebook a few days ago of a monk seal with an eel up its nose. You’ve heard of Elf on a Shelf… Now get ready for: I think he’s trying to tell the photographer “hey, put the camera down and help me, jerk.” Accompanying the […] More
It’s a strange phenomenon – I’ve noticed that Christian apologists generally have a worse understanding of the Bible than atheists. It’s full of horrible stories that counter the notion that the Christian version of god is all-knowing and all-powerful. If God knew that humans were going to screw up being human so badly, why didn’t […] More
Yes, you read the headline correctly and no, unfortunately, this is *not* The Onion. Only in 2018 – the year that started off with people eating tide pods (yes, that was in 2018) – would we have the president of the largest dating app designed for people of the same sex come out and say that […] More
On this day twenty years ago – November 29th, 1998 – the boy band *NSYNC released their seminal holiday classic Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. In it, *NSYNC rouses people into the Christmas spirit with the moving chorus: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Happy Holidays. I don’t know about you, but I feel […] More
I think we have a possible winner for the 2018 Darwin Awards. And as a disclaimer, I don’t normally relish in the misery of others. But when you intentionally put yourself in an extremely dangerous situation, especially when it’s for an extraordinarily dumb reason, you get what you get. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. […] More
Yvette d’Entremont, better known to many as SciBabe, posted an article she wrote today about these weird electric shorts called the ‘BionicGym.’ The idea behind them is that they’re shorts you can put on and they’ll exercise for you, and will prepare you to run in a marathon. I can only assume they went with “bionic” […] More
Easter is the holiest of Christian holidays. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the March equinox, and if that sounds pagan to you, that’s because it is. But that doesn’t stop the army of Christians suffering from an incurable persecution complex from logging into Twitter exact […] More
It can be pretty hard these days to distinguish satire from reality. Between fake news, alternative facts, and real, actual headlines, almost anything can seem satirical in nature. My friend James and I recently started a new satire site ourselves at Alternative-Science.com, a URL that we thought clearly implies satire and funny stories. But headlines […] More
Look, let’s be real here. I’m not here to tell you what you should or should not do to your vagina. Your body, your choice after all. But let’s be real for a minute – there are some things that should absolutely, positively, 100% not go anywhere near your vagina, or any other orifice on […] More
