I’ve been getting a lot of ads for Ground News lately in other media that I consume, to the point where it makes me think most of their revenue is going right back into marketing.
I would not be surprised at all if they’ve tossed some money at the mods here for the purpose of boosting their signal even further.
Which, when presented without a shed of evidence, is equally dangerous (as these last few weeks have very clearly demonstrated).
This comment has big “Haitians are eating cats” energy.
I don’t have any proof, but just think about it, man!
There’s a state park in Kentucky called “Big Bone Lick”
I feel like this could create some pretty toxic incentives.
Like, imagine if the moment a person dies all of their works immediately go into the public domain… What’s to stop a company like Disney from just straight-up assassinating people who create promising IPs? They paid 4 billion dollars for Star Wars — but why not just have George Lucas murdered for a fraction of the price?
Doctor Becky is awesome as well!
Also PBS Spacetime if you’re looking for something with a higher production value and that dips more into the theoretical side of things.
Anton is the GOAT if you’re into space. He basically spends all his time reading recent scientific papers and then summarizes them for a general audience without exaggerating or editorializing like you see with most other science reporting.
He’s perfect for anyone with a deep love of science who wants to keep up with the very latest developments but doesn’t have the time to keep up with the ‘literature’.
Geriatric vs. felon may seem tame in the years to come!?
Technically, geriatric vs geriatric felon
Richard Head
I’m sorry, his name was what?
“You can’t put lipstick on a pig” was popular for about a year in the US, circa 2007
Good point, that’s much more apt
It also adds clutter and noise to a public space, making it more irritating to scroll through comments. It’s like someone having a private conversation on speaker phone while you’re waiting in line at a Starbucks or whatever.

More like “don’t fuck around but find out anyway”.
*cough* Oracle *cough*
Bottom-middle looks like the unwanted love-child of Quentin Tarantino and Conan O’Brien.
They’re basically responsible for 90% of males simply refusing to discuss important issues in politics.
Gonna need you to cite some sources on that one.
I don’t think Midgley really did anything to increase the amount of carbon in the atmosphere — just the amount of lead and CFCs.
