This Senator Just Put Ronald Reagan on a Velociraptor to… Own the Libs?

James Schlarmann March 26, 2019, 10:47 pm 1 Comment

The solution to climate change is not this unserious resolution, but the serious business of human flourishing – the solution to so many of our problems, at all times and in all places: fall in love, get married, and have some kids.https://t.co/N2gYdJFldt pic.twitter.com/ekoFlaECSd

I’m sure Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and his friend thinks he was making a really good, solid point today on the floor of the U.S. Senate, but he was not. To make matters worse, Lee compounded his scientific illiteracy with some good old fashioned dad jokes in the form of printed stills from cartoons and […] More

How & Why the American Political Parties Switched Ideological Platforms

James Schlarmann March 18, 2019, 4:25 pm 1 Comment

In an age when the president has no problem inserting hyper-partisan rhetoric in a veto signing statement of an ultimately bipartisan rejection of one of his emergency declaration, why not examine what happened in this country that would make it possible for the party of Abraham Lincoln to become the party of Confederate monument defending […] More

20+ of the best memes that mock anti-vaxxers

James Schlarmann March 12, 2019, 1:23 pm 7 Comments

Anti-vaxxers are, quite literally, the worst. I’m trying so hard as I get older to not be so judgmental. Good people can disagree in good faith about almost any topic — taxes, war, religion, whatever — and I am trying to keep that in mind when I find people who disagree with me online. But anti-vaxxers test […] More

CO2 Levels Are So High That Covering the Planet in Trees Won’t Do Jack to Save Humanity

James Schlarmann March 11, 2019, 11:44 am

Despite what your favorite Fox News lovin’ uncle tells you, carbon dioxide is hella bad for us. By “us,” I mean the planet and the life forms that inhabit it. CO2, when trapped in our atmosphere is devastating over long periods of time. This is, of course, not anything new or shocking to say — we’ve […] More

A tour of Kennedy Space Center, & NASA’s plan to put humans back in space from US soil

Dan Broadbent March 7, 2019, 4:47 pm 2 Comments

This past weekend, I had the honor of being invited on a behind-the-scenes tour of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. This was the third time I’ve had the privilege of getting access to parts of NASA facilities that are normally restricted to us civilians (with the other two being the TESS launch last […] More

A Company Developed An AI So Dangerous They Say It Cannot Ever Be Released

James Schlarmann February 24, 2019, 5:51 pm 2 Comments

What’s the one line from Jeff Goldbum in Jurassic Park , that really famous one? No! That’s not the one I’m thinking of. It’s the one where he basically talks about how benevolent science and technology in the wrong hands is dangerous? Ah, yes. That’s the ticket. That’s the one I was thinking of when I read […] More

Carbon Emissions Now Are 10x Higher Than When The Arctic Had Palm Trees

Amber Hadley February 24, 2019, 5:23 pm

Yale conducted a survey titled Climate Change Communication, in hopes of figuring out how many people believe in climate change and to get an overall feeling of how the public responds to these concerns. 71% of people answered that they believe climate change is real and happening. 47% say they are “very” or “extremely” sure […] More

College is Bad for America, Say Majority of Republicans

James Schlarmann February 16, 2019, 9:54 pm

The majority of Republicans now say colleges are bad for the US.
The country is divided over higher education. Yes, really.

The majority of what I write is satirical fiction. You would think that the headline “College is Bad for America, Say Majority of Republicans,” would be one of those satirical headlines. After all, how can college be bad for America? Even if you don’t like a particular subject, or a particular professor, isn’t it a […] More

NASA and NOAA Both Confirm: 2018 Was Fourth Hottest Year on Record

James Schlarmann February 11, 2019, 3:05 pm

Well, it happened again. Amy Klobuchar announced that she is running for President, talking proudly of fighting global warming while standing in a virtual blizzard of snow, ice and freezing temperatures. Bad timing. By the end of her speech she looked like a Snowman(woman)!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 10, 2019

Over the weekend, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota announced her candidacy in the 2020 presidential election, in the middle of a snow storm. A day later, America’s premier climate scientist — President Donald Trump — took to Twitter to explain why she should’ve waited to make her announcement because her points about global warming were […] More

Trump’s State of the Union speech was a fact checker’s nightmare

Dan Broadbent February 5, 2019, 10:39 pm

Trump SOTU guests include: family of couple killed by unauthorized immigrant; human trafficking investigator; survivors of Pittsburgh massacre; Alice Johnson; recovering opioid addict; re-hired sawmill employee; child cancer survivor; kid bullied for being named Joshua Trump.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) February 5, 2019

If you’re anything like me, you watched Trump’s State of the Union speech and afterwards thought “well, those were certainly all words.” But nothing that he said tonight came as a surprise to anyone. It’s more of the same senseless drivel that comes from Trump and his administration. Look, we knew this was going to be […] More

40 photos showing how stupid cold the Polar Vortex was this week

Dan Broadbent February 1, 2019, 8:50 pm

The Polar Vortex – the swirl of super cold air that is normally around the North Pole – broke into three pieces, sending what can only be described as “stupid cold air” (I’m pretty sure that’s the scientific term for it) into the Midwest, and much of Canada this past week. Though our president doesn’t seem […] More

Glaciers melting in Canada reveal land that hasn’t been seen in over 40,000 years

Dan Broadbent January 29, 2019, 2:07 pm 1 Comment

A new study published in Nature titled Rapidly receding Arctic Canada glaciers revealing landscapes continuously ice-covered for more than 40,000 years found that, well, I won’t insult your intelligence by re-typing the title. The cause? You guess it: Climate change. Get our famous ‘Vaccines work’ shirt, only available in our store! In the study, the authors wrote that […] More
