I love the “scientists are terrified” bit. Being one, I can’t skip past this bs fast enough.
Bullshit headlines annoy the piss out of me. "Scientists are debating" an alien spaceship claim — translates to "One anesthesiologist claims it; all scientists in relevant fields ignore him."
'No easy explanation': Scientists are debating a 70-year-old UFO mystery as new images come to light
Two new peer-reviewed papers claim thousands of unexplained light flashes in vintage Palomar telescope images show statistical ties to nuclear tests and UFO reports. Not everyone agrees with the paper...

As the world moves toward globalization, this pair of economically challenged nitwits gleefully said Brexit's withdrawal 'was cool,' and supported it, I suppose with the assumption that they were smarter than everyone else. But as the cost of Brexit shows, that is very far from the truth.

Same here. My mum explained that she knew what was in the ground beef.
I’m sometimes reminded that in the 1970s, not too long ago, my mum used to make ground beef with a hand-cranked meat grinder that attached to the counter like a vice grip. I don’t know if they sold ground beef then. I assume they did, but mum was probably saving few pennies.

It’s Illegal to Remove a Bandage in Public
In Canada, removing a bandage in public could land you a fine due to hygiene concerns. This law, likely aimed at preventing the spread of infections, stands out as one of the weirdest laws in Canada. 🍁

This government's about-face on lawful access is boggling.
It has twice been deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. There are no delays in getting warrants *so long as police have their evidence in order.*
Just giving police the power to do warrantless online searches is frankly boneheaded.

20 years ago it was ham in a can. Now it’s just a salty glutinous mess.
I bought this thinking it would be inexpensive and convenient. It is both those things, but nope! Too sludgy. Gross.
