But they can most certainly and fully intend to ignore any and all protests. Because money > all. Even a world humans can live on takes a back seat to profits.

So... what I get from this list is that movies are different now? 20 years from now, I bet there will be another question to which the answer will be “why the fuck was there nothing but Marvel movies for 20 years?” and “there were how many Fast and Furious movies? really??” 40 years prior you’d have people comparing…

This is too early...

Many preindustrial societies (including those visited by explorers only a couple of centuries ago) made fabrics from what is known as bark cloth. South Seas islanders, for example.

Isn’t this where the wax melts?

I always enjoy rooting for the shark in movies like this.

Those are good points. The application of ecological theory to questions concerning interstellar colonization would be interesting. McArthur and Wilson’s island biogeography model comes to mind. There are plenty of quantitative models out there.

So in addition to the intended study of the Sun, we’re also learning that the orbital plane closer to the Sun than Mercury is a lot busier in nature than we originally thought?

Kathy Griffin lost her job, underwent several months of investigation by the Justice Department, and was put on a No Fly List.

Sure the AOC stuff, but don’t sleep on the blood-splattery filter imposed over what appears to be poor immigrants traveling across a desert...that’s some top tier succinct imagery for GOP-Christian hypocrisy.

The “It’s just a joke” argument would work far better if there wasn’t an attempt on these people’s life less than a year ago (I think people often forget that they built gallows in addition to all the other bullshit they did).

A politician is openly glorifying violence against his opposition, less than a year after a violent attack on the Capitol by supporters of his own party.  And nobody is doing anything about it.

Well, a bit of a stretch - there are a lot of higher-rank unicellular eukaryote taxa and a number of them have predatory members. The Amoebazoa, Ciliata and Eugelozoa come to mind immediately. If unicellular grous are doing it, predation must go a long way back. Although nobody has any evidence of a predatory…

The appearance of predatory guilds has long been thought to be a major driver of the Cambrian Explosion.

Another terrifying effect of climate change: The rise of Slideshows. If you look back at the history of the earth, Slideshows only started as the earth reached its most recent, warmest peak. Scientists are unsure whether it’s a cause or effect but most climate scientists agree, banning Slideshows is another arrow in…

I wish the world was more like this. Warm fuzzies all around!

Nope. I don’t care who did it. I only care that they DID do it. 

Seriously, any claim on the concept of “rationality” by the GOP has been completely negated in recent years — it’s sadly humorous how the party still thinks it has a reputation for stolid reasoning versus the “bleeding hearts”. They really don’t comprehend what they have become or how how the world sees them, do they?

for a party so supportive of nuclear its weird how not a single watt of new nuclear power has been created in my lifetime under their governance. Also odds are when they say they’re for nuclear, carbon capture, and fossil fuels they’ll spend 98% of the money on fossil fuels, 1% on nuclear, embezzle 0.5% somehow and…
