The result was actually pretty entertaining. Despite what you might think would happen, given Ol’ Musky’s recently acquired public pot penchant, and Roiland’s reputation for being […] More

Despite being aware of what NASA was going to say, many of us (present company included) had a strong emotional reaction to the news. I found myself questioning why so many of us felt […] More
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.

That last communication came just as […] 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

If you’ve been following me for any period of time, then you’re undoubtedly aware of my fondness for felines. After all, I made Skeptical Kitten, a page dedicated to cats, and help run Cats in Space Quoting Scientists, a page dedicated to ridiculous memes of cats in space with a quote from a scientist on […] More
I roll my eyes a bit every time I hear someone talk about their New Year’s resolution. Maybe my cynicism has reached an unhealthy level, or maybe it’s because 80% of people give up on their resolutions by February, and ultimately 92% of resolutions fail.
