And on the Eighth Day, God Said, ‘Everybody Should Buy Evan Sayet’s Book’

“Not liking something doesn’t mean that that something doesn’t exist. If it did, then there’d be no such thing as a Jennifer Aniston movie.” — Evan Sayet, from his new book Ten years ago, I credited Evan Sayet with having written “the most important book since Johannes Gutenberg invented movable type,” and now he’s topped […]

Blue Whales Are Decadent and Depraved

Today I was just innocently scrolling through the news on my phone when I encountered this disturbing headline: Hidden DNA found in blue whales reveals they’ve been mating with other species — and their hybrid offspring What kind of twisted West Virginia hillbilly freak show is this? “Mating with other specias” and — AND! — […]

Mr. Hockey Stick Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Population Control Agenda

Some readers may be unfamiliar with the story of Michael Mann and his infamous “hockey stick” graph, so I will summarize briefly: In 1999, Mann and two colleagues produced a paper on climate trends, showing a sharp upward spike in worldwide temperatures beginning around 1900.
