This was kind of confusing. Wasn’t there a news item some months ago where Shkreli donated to the Sanders campaign?

Remember, these people only begin saying reasonable things when they’re tipsy.

I want to synchronize with this comment and pilot it against the Angels

I like the idea of assigning DOI numbers to articles about calling Tammy at such and such number for a good time.

That’s right, theoretically all humans have the same genetic relatedness to their last common ancestor. The term scientists might use here (but usually referring to non-human groups on the timescale of millions of years) is ‘basal’, meaning that the group diverged prior to other divergence events that would give rise…

Does that mean we can have the Hulk Hogan tape back

Quite a poignant story too, a whole extirpated race of beings whose existence has only just been rediscovered, but whose legacy had been walking inside of us all along. And then a blast of radiation suddenly awakens the genetic memories embedded deeply within our bodies, and they rise again. That is comic book fodder.

I suppose ‘oldest’ means that the lineage that includes the modern peoples of Australasia were the first to diverge from the lineage that led to all other non-African human populations. Thus, the aboriginals of Australia and Papua New Guinea would be the descendants of the oldest surviving distinct group of humans to…

But statistically, shouldn’t all outbreeding descendants x generations removed from a given man and woman have the same theoretical relatedness to them? The only way to quantify ‘relatedness’ in terms of genetic identical-ness would be to sequence the genomes of the initial family and those descendants, then…

It’s cool but not really news at this point. Not only is it now widely accepted that introgression of Neanderthal DNA into certain human populations did occur, it’s also becoming more evident that human species in Africa interbred leading up to the evolution of what we consider modern Homo sapiens.

Did you guys stay friends? I imagine toilet paper is not going to break up childhood besties.

Chuck C. Johnson?

With classical studies dying out here in the US as it is (at least in Europe it is still seen as culturally relevant), we really don’t need the whole world to see the field being represented outside the ivory tower like this. The classics have always been a field of study of the affluent, and I fear that this…

Don’t forget Greek yogurt and Hercules too!

Lol thanks! Can’t believe people even bothered to read it and comprehend it, considering how long it was and how I really should have gone to bed several hours before writing this.

Yuge, irrelevant early morning rant below

It’s true that there’s not much of substance in this article; it’s not much different from the discussions I have on forums about catching and IDing ants or rearing giant tropical caterpillars. But this is DJT Jr. we are talking about, and what he puts out on the internet for the public to find is game, so to speak,…

Okay, got it. So I should clarify, what I would actually call A+ journalism is what outlets like the NYT or ProPublica or Frontline do on a regular basis, and what Gawker and its sisters did/still do occasionally as well. This is just a snarky shitpost making light of the online forum habits of one particular very…
