Trump’s tweet about the paid protesters not being paid reminds me of a Sunday Sport (really trashy UK tabloid) headline pairing from a long time ago. First we had “World War II Bomber Found on the Moon”. Then, when no evidence was presented for said bomber, they followed a week later with “World War II Bomber Disappear…

And they are still using it! Against HRC, inviting Bill’s accusers to her debate, etc. Ugh.

Great article, thanks.

He couldn’t even buy her a drink!  Still, at least he has a car.

Totally agree.  We’ve evolved to work this way; it really isn’t a mystery.

Sirius Cybernetics Corporation was my first reaction to the gate, too.

tl;dr - because that’s how science works.

I much prefer “BuzzFeed Business” to the description I usually have to give colleagues.  They still have real journalists. But they also post articles by “Forbes Contributors”, some of whom are well informed, but many of whom are just “some guy” (or girl). By pursuing this strategy, they’ve totally destroyed their…

There have been many cases where I’ve thought that the judge should have a third option, “oh, for god’s sake”, and just use it to dismiss there and then...

Presumably there’s a possibility here for AMI to be charged with making an illegal campaign donation?

Every time I hear the excuse “but lots of them are Russian-speaking”, I think “Sudetenland”. I think we’ve already given up on Trump knowing anything about international affairs, though. Saw this gem recently.

It was Carl Sagan.  They looked into the math on a BBC podcast recently, and it checks out.  100M stars x 7x10^23 galaxies is an awful lot of stars.

Becky Chambers’ first two books are excellent (and she’s getting better). Looking forward to her third.

Instantly familiar to anyone who has ever put on cricket pads. Those belts can pinch!

...and what being religious depends on, but that’s a whole other can of worms...

Honestly, it started out as a conspiracy theory, but the more we learn...does anyone still believe that, in all those trips to Moscow, he didn’t at least once pick up an attractive woman in a hotel bar who was actually working for Putin? He’s the easiest target ever for a honey trap, so convinced of his own charm and…

Kate McK looks uncannily like Avril Lavigne here.

Anyone who is a parent should have given at least some thought to HPV vaccines.

Watching it at work with the sound off, it is actually pretty funny. I say that as a guy who finds her hot. The images without sound are a bit ridiculous. Does she at one point send her glittery tongue writhing between two of her fingers?! Why, yes, she does!
