Did you hear about the deadly wave of bear attacks in Japan that resulted in 13 death this year? Well, it's a thing, and if you did know about it, you probably assumed the cause was human encroachment, right? WRONG. YOU FOOL. IT'S SO MUCH MORE COMPLICATED:

Thirty years ago today, the scientist Clair Patterson passed away. He campaigned tirelessly and effectively to remove lead from gasoline, paint, pipes, and food cans. The drop in violent crime that correlates with this change? Massive.

Day 2 of not awful Christmas songs.
I give you Malcolm Middleton with his song about dying alone and unloved. I accept it's only really a Christmas song because of the video, but what a video.

A few years ago I wrote a couple of Magic the Gathering-themed spoofs of famous Christmas songs.
🎵 "Ding dong! Golgari the swarm.
In graves the bells are ringing.
Ding dong! Rising like a storm.
In fear of Meren singing.
CHORUS:
Gloria,
Clan Nel-Toth in excelsis!" 🎵
