You make a very good point, but something something freedom.

I can’t wait till next year until all the (white) frats and sororities, as well as the local bars, try to turn Juneteenth into the Black St. Patrick’s Day

I would urge you as a science writer to never cite anything from the Medical Hypotheses journal unless it’s to mock it. It’s basically a collection of non-peer reviewed pseudoscience garbage, famous for vaccine doubting, fake autism cures, AIDS denialism, and advocating masturbation as a cure for nasal congestion.

Shit dude, looks like the answer to everyone’s weight struggles has been there all along! Thanks for figuring it out!

I’m going to start raising money to pay the “shame” guy to just follow the Trumps around chanting that. 

I would certainly not expect people practicing quack medicine to be able to calculate dilutions properly, but I’m very surprised there’s something even in those vials besides the essence of water. It’s like the people selling it are dumb enough to actually believe in it, rather than just scamming idiots. 

It’s very impressive! Although unfortunately ~50 million people in the U.S. are under 12, and it might be a little while before they’re getting vaccinated

When I read “Boat Tail”, I imagined some sort of a P. Diddy-style shrimping vessel
