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

This little guy loves the flesh of warm-blooded animals. It mostly affects livestock, but people can also be infected.  This fun little guy that was once completely eradicated in the United States, but now we’ve invited him back to play again. And he will eat you. He wants to eat yo

You probably saw this coming. I definitely saw this coming. People are going to be really upset when I say his name. And by people, I mean a lot of a certain subset of people. But there’s absolutely nothing surprising about any of this.  Now, before I come out and tell you who it

Why do things go viral? Turns out there’s a pretty easy way to define a piece of content that has the potential to do so. It’s not random or mysterious, because there are real commonalities with posts that are shared widely across the internet. If you’re curious about what those commonalities are, then stick around and we’ll talk about what the actual research tells us. We’re all about science here, so let’s uncover the science of what makes things go viral. So I’m going to t

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/K0CYwlPwftA There have been many moments in human history where authoritarianism and tyranny have popped up across nations and societies. Right now you may be wondering if that’s what we’re seeing in America today, if it’s as bad as those previous times, if it’s what your grandparents were thinking and feeling in 30s and 40s, or what they thought during the nineteen teens and 1920s in Russia or Spain, or the 1970s in Chile. There’s an easy w

They give a whole lot of money away to charity, right? So therefore, they’ll voluntarily recreate a social safety net so that we don’t need a government benefits system. Billionaire philanthr

But good news, they’re aiming to pass one of these dang things by 2028, so don’t you worry. In the meantime, because we have a lot of time until then, let’s take a look at what’s going on here.  Because from the outside, you’re probably thinking that this is a prime example of the failure of government processes and the result of ove

So grab a translator if you need it, because there’s just no escaping snark anymore. You might be wondering, like, why can’t things just be, like, nice? Without any irony or prot

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/TjO0mq37KR8 Legs are one of the most overtly sexualized part of the human body outside of the primary reproductive organs. So how did we all come to the modern collective cultural decision that legs are attractive? Because research does back up the fact that we all seem to agree that legs are very nice, and that they make us feel certain things that we need to talk to an adult about. But these two weird spindly stalks of people flesh that ho
