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. In 1998, the Australian Parkes Radio Telescope picked up a series of fast radio bursts, or FRBs for short. The signals they found were new and unique and mysterious, and the team named them perytons.

Okay, so what do we definitively know about the research into human attraction and so-called alpha males? If you’re coming from my video about the real science behind the concept of alphas in nature, then welcome back.

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

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Rj10RMukPs8 People have a big problem with a certain popular podcaster. So much so, in fact, that a new study has found that women won’t date men who listen to him. 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
