Why We're So Bad at Talking About Illness
Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uG9mYDC7qxA Fourteen years ago I woke up to a number of new friends on social media who all told me that they found me because of Kristen Bell. And I was like, ah, cool, yeah, Kristen. You know, she’s such a goof, that Kristen, always sending people over here. At that point in the my life I had no idea who Kristen Bell was. So it took a minute, but I finally tracked down in all the different notifications the thing that had started all this.


The Science of Microplastics was Just Completely Upended
There’s been a pretty gnarly turn of events in the whole microplastics saga. And to illustrate how much of a potential 180 this could be, I want to just briefly mention one of my favorite stories from the field of astronomy which this whole thing reminds me of very much.

If you’ve been looking around at the state of American decline lately and wondering about how you might escape the madness, you suddenly and very randomly might have a pretty good option. If you’re anywhere else in the world and looking at the frozen north as a bastion of liberty and justice now that the U.S. has plunged itself into darkness and is no longer the go-to destination in a lot of people’s minds, then yeah, you too could be a Canadian citizen now, so it’s definitel
