Happy Darwin Day 2026! 🧪

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

- Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man (1871).

Anyone who puts phrases like “thought leader” in their bio is flagged in my mind as being completely full of shit until they prove otherwise.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

I’ve come to the realization that I have more in common with a liberal believer than a conservative atheist.
I will hand it to him very narrowly that by far the most pissed off people I’ve spoken to about this current era are woke Christians — Black pastors, liberal reverends, etc

They speak and act with a righteous apocalyptic rage that you just don’t get if you’re a nonbeliever like me…
i'm deeply amused that thiel keeps trying to pass himself off as a evangelical in the valley when he says stuff like this

Just insulting people’s intelligence. Your racist worldview is actually BAD for the economy.
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

I hope they are taking the ‘extreme’ precaution of washing their hands after 💩 and before touching food to prevent norovirus.

For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
Olympic Covid restrictions are gone, but some athletes still self-quarantining

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition

This was a good episode! He had some romance with Tasha in the alternate timeline, if I remember correctly.

I left around 10. I said that I needed to get up early to prepare for my Bad Bunny party. I needed to find more American flags to burn.

Reflecting on this, I regret not making a snarky comment at the dude from Farmington. That being said , it wouldn’t have changed hearts and minds if I did. Only I would feel better.

Dr Oz has long been a charlatan. Anything to sell his magic beans.
BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?

DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

Do people get this bent out of shape about the halftime show every year? Is this a new thing? Did it start with the pearl clutching over Timberlake and Janet Jackson?

I will not be inviting them to my Bad Bunny party.
