Lemme guess...Trump supporter?

It would make more sense to say he’d restructure our tax code so that Apple couldn’t hoard $35 billion overseas.

I saw on Twitter someone posted (paraphrased), “saying ‘save the rainforests’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘fuck all other forests,’” which I appreciated as an analogy for all this “all lives matter” nonsense.

It’s the same logic that hears about diverse casting and thinks about the poor white actors being denied a job.

Well that tweet also read “if he’s alive today”. So stupid+stupid=stupid.

Exactly! The correct response - if you’re white - to “Black lives matter” is to say “Yes. Yes, they do” not “BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?!?”

I will never understand how people seem to think that someone saying "Black lives matter" somehow means "everyone else's life doesn’t" like what kind of mental gymnastics does someone go through to need to shout ALL LIVES MATTER in response?

If MLK was alive today, he would be the face of the TEA Party!

The beard stays.

In my mind it was Halpert that was tricked into doing 13 Hours because he thought it was another Threat Level Midnight.

Nobody say anything bad about him and ruin it for me

This Nature article provides a pretty evenhanded analysis of whether total mosquito obliteration is a good idea. It does point out that only a few hundred of the 2500 or so mosquito species out there are disease vectors—perhaps pinpointing those for eradication would be a compromise.

I’m sure there are actual papers on this, but what I gathered from the Radiolab on this subject - which aimed to be neutral - was that they have such a small biomass that no organism relies so much on mosquitoes that they require them. The one exception was a plant in the tundra that does rely on pollination by…

In studies, mosquitoes comprise less than 1% of the gut contents of bats caught in the wild. So, emphatically no.

Mosquitos and jellyfish can get fucked. Useless and destructive.

I know this is controversial with some people out there, but this is it. I am done with mosquitoes. They pollinate a single flower in the tundra. They have too little biomass to be a major source of food for any organism. Fuck them from here to Mercury.

Bless your heart.

I don’t think Smith was that good in it either. But there are three nominated performances I found equally mediocre (if not worse).

The fact that Ryan Coogler nor Michael B. Jordan were nominated for Creed is appalling. Coogler as director gave a Master’s class in electric, organic film making. As for Will Smith? This is not an equal sum game. Concussion is a shit, cowardly movie that rewrote its script to appease its corporate NFL Masters. No one…

The steadily decreasing output over 100 years is exactly what we would expect from Dyson sphere construction, likely a centuries long project.
