More evidence Ben Franklin was on to something when he suggested the turkey should be our national bird.

The discovery, announced by Wits University and published in Science, further demonstrates that our early ancestors ate a balanced diet of both proteins and carbohydrates.

The series can’t help but drown itself in imagery from the Ibrahimic texts.

And an important flavorant in Purina Sperm Whale Chow, as giant squid use ammonium chloride to maintain neutral buoyancy.

Maybe. But then again, maybe not. There’s none so blind as those who will not see...

Thanks for this. It’s useful to get creative, effective folks’ takes on music for a particular task or mood—a perspective generally not available from music critics who are considering the work in a more strictly artistic context.

“Disturbed,” you say! My goodness! I wait with bated breath the further updates from Senator Murkowski’s office as the trial is scheduled and proceeds! We might see “unsettled”! Perhaps “concerned”! I would not rule out a trifecta of “disquieted”, “bothered”, and “dismayed”!

Rich folks know that real estate is real wealth.

I think USAens ate way more pork than beef mostly because small farmers could easily keep a few pigs, but a beef cow is a commitment. (The Western cattle herds relied instead on open rangeland, with cowboys to go collect the beef.)

As we’ve pointed out before, it’s highly unlikely you will get picked to be audited unless your income is very high.

Crickets certainly aren’t. Novel foods: a risk profile for the house cricket (Acheta domesticus). Ditto mealworm: Majority of shrimp-allergic patients are allergic to mealworm.

Why, it’s almost as if the point of the piece was to establish a charmingly quirky personal brand, rather than convey any useful information...

We already domesticated all the low-hanging fruit. Alternate protein sources like algae, ostrich, and insects have thus far failed to catch on primarily because they don’t actually work all that well. (Crickets are surprisingly vulnerable to disease, waxworms need a very specialized diet, mealworms have a lower feed…

Wouldn’t really help. The problem is not that there are 88 EEEVIL boards of directors who are wrecking the planet because evil; the problem is that setting fossil fuels on fire gets us incredibly useful things like transportation and electricity.  Convince the companies currently doing this to stop, and all of a…
