Three days ago, NPR reported that 45 cats were confirmed sick with H7N2, a rare form of avian flu making the leap from birds to felines. Poor kitties.

Trump Just Called for a New Nuclear Arms Race and We’re All Going to Die

Remember the nuclear arms race of the 1980s? The United States and the Soviet Union both scrambled to acquire more weapons, increasing the likelihood that the entire world would be blown to bits.

Avril Lavigne: Mark Zuckerberg’s Nickelback Joke Promotes ‘Bullying’

He was a Zuckerberg. She said, see you, Fuckerberg. On Thursday, Avril Lavigne condemned the Facebook CEO for using Nickelback as a punchline in the wack promotional video for his robo-butler Jarvis, calling the jab at her husband Chad Kroeger’s band “in poor taste.” https://gizmodo.com/mark-zuckerberg-played-the-what-would-you-do-if-you-wer-1790332820 “You have a voice like yours, you may want to…

Holiday Flight Canceled After Jabroni Names Wi-Fi Network ‘Galaxy Note 7’

This week, one Virgin America flight was delayed and another was reportedly canceled after crew members discovered a wi-fi hotspot named “Samsung Galaxy Note 7” mid-flight.

Watch a Computer Get Annihilated By a Ridiculously Powerful Combustion Tube

Well, why the hell not. The Slow Mo Guys put an old iMac in front of a combustion tube that fires out blasts at 1,800 meters a second (that’s, uh, over 4,000 miles per hour)—and holy smokes, that thing gets smashed to bits. The combustion tube is meant to test flame acceleration and deflagration to…

This Dude Hit 240 Consecutive Green Lights While Driving in New York City

Driving around Manhattan can hardly be considered driving because there’s so much damn traffic and construction and crazy taxis and people on the street. Most of the time you’re “driving,” you’re actually just stopped or digging your car out of a pothole, or are constantly avoiding accidents or dodging human bodies. You’re certainly not hitting…

Scientists Call Bullshit on Study Linking HPV Vaccine to Brain Damage

Sometimes it looks like one thing causes another. Every time you eat ice cream, your nose hurts. Every time you turn on the sink, your pipes clank. Or in this case, HPV vaccines seem to coincide with strange side effects. That does NOT mean the existence of cause and effect. It means you have a…

The UN Just Gave Scientists the Green Light to Mess With Natural Selection

I Have Problems With Rogue One

The reviews for Rogue One are in, and they’re near-universally positive—including our own. Less the broad caper of The Force Awakens and more a ground-level exploration of some known Star Wars landmarks, the film delivers a careful balance of freshness and nostalgia—but I don’t believe it’s flawless. While there’s plenty to love, something’s been gnawing…
