Oreos are the Taco Bell of cookies. They’ll throw anything at the wall to see if it sticks.

We'll just order a few appetizers for the table. Everyone has to share.

Chiropractors aren’t doctors. Chiropractic is not science.
It literally comes from a guy saying he learned it from a ghost. And if done wrong it can paralyze you or worse. It is pseudoscience/placebo that makes tons of money. And if you swear by it I don’t care. Anecdote is not antidote.

She nails it with the "Human centipede of content".

Using AI gen to make videos of the dead is very cursed.

@techconnectify.bsky.social do you remember “Deer Whistles” for cars? They claimed to make a noise that only animals could hear to scare deer out of the road, but in fact they did nothing. You can still find them in some hardware stores.

Although our downloads have been going up lately, and the momentum seems to be consistent, we have not had a review written for the podcast in 9 months! That's a long time. Don't you know that indie podcasters need written validation to thrive and survive?

To all of our queer LGBTQIA+ friends, to all of our marginalized and targeted friends, to ALL of those who are being singled out by hate, by bigots, by fascists; YOU HAVE A HOME AT LEAST HAUNTED. We may be skeptics about the paranormal, but we KNOW you exist. And we will always fight to defend you.

The werewolf from An American Werewolf in London scooting on his butt with his feets up in a very silly and awkward position. He doesn't look thrilled.

Has the ignition source of Will-o'-the-wisps been solved?

No. No, it hasn't. Because there's no reason to think they're a thing to begin with, and this paper was shite.

Least Haunted is 100% human made, researched, edited, and our art is likewise made my human artists. The ethical concerns of generative AI can not be overcome in our minds to accept its use. Also, it is just incredibly lazy.

If you point a finger at an anti-fascist, then you have three fingers pointed back at a fascist.

Fuck it. The energy I’m bringing today.

Small figurine of a character from the 1989’s Disney cartoon “Gummi Bears”. It is an anthropomorphic bear in a tunic and hat. Grinning And raising his left index finger. He wears no pants.

Recently saw a video where a mycologist referred to a mushroom as, “Edible but forgettable.” What a burn! Now I wait for the mycelial response dis track to drop where the mushrooms call him, “Bipedal but feeble”
