Yes, we actually did choose to use 9/11 imagery in part because we thought it would make people read the article.

There are 500,000 Indians living in Qatar. Since 2011 around 450-500 Indians have died due to any number of reasons. Without diminishing the value of human life, I would urge you to at least consider those numbers for some sort of context to the mortality rate of that particular demographic.

Without diminishing the value of human life, I still can't believe they're planning on playing soccer outdoors in Qatar in the fucking summer.

Tyson laid it out in the show's first episode:

You shut your stupid face.

This story, relayed in an accessible but compelling manner, offers surprising insight into the human condition.

You're a moron.

I can't wait for another Hollywood portrayal of what computer security and hacking looks like. Guys shouting as they furiously type into DOS, teens in anti-establishment chic clothes undoing all their work. Maybe if they ask nicely, Angelina Jolie will reprise her role as Kate Libby.

Dang. The good 'ol days where you could harass the shit out of women and not have any consequences. Damn HR.

what the FUCK is with their lips... top lip is smaller than bottom. Not larger. Uggghh this bothers me way more than it probably should.

Uhm... the average age of the papers you reference is almost 30 years old. The newest is 2007, but that is the ONLY paper mentioned from the last 10 years, and one of only two from this century.

And there are a lot of people who don't profit from vaccination sales that recommend them. Like... a LOT.

And how many of these papers have you read? Most people would expect an annotated bibliography at the minimum when you are presenting a lit search. Half of these papers are not even relevant.

"I think it is definitely possible that a mercury overload can cause problems."

Say it with me, everybody: *Correlation DOES NOT equal causation.

My husband has three marks on his upper arms from Eastern European Communist regime state-mandated vaccinations. You know what he doesn't have? Preventable-via-vaccination diseases.

Can we please not call them "pro-vaxxers?" We don't call all tenured biologists pro-evolutionists or all board certified physicians pro-AIDS-truthers. There's no such thing as a pro-vaxx person or physician. There are normal, functional, educated people, and there are vaxx-deniers, AIDS-deniers, and evolution deniers.…

38 cases of mumps at Ohio State University this month.

Instead of "pro-vaxxers" can we just be "normal people" or "rational everyday humans?" I don't want these anti-vax people to be given any more ideas that this bullshit is a two-sided "debate."

Raising her Q Score. Now we know what Jenny McCarthy's entire misguided, deadly anti-vaccination campaign has been about.
