Net Neutrality Is Dead Again, But It’s Not Buried

Ever since the FCC voted to repeal net neutrality last December, we’ve seen the protections for a free and open internet declared dead more than once. On Monday, the rules “officially” come off the books. The reality is net neutrality is on life support and there’s still reason to believe it will return. The process…

70% of American Workers Admit They’re Dead Inside

A depressing new Gallup poll shows that 70% of American workers are “emotionally disconnected” from their jobs, while a majority (52%) say they’re not engaged at all with work. College-educated employees are more depressed than the less educated. Madeleine Davies writes at Jezebel: Gallup blames the current state of the American workforce on management styles…

The Governor’s evil insanity beats Rick’s plain insanity on The Walking Dead

In last week’s recap of The Walking Dead, I bemoaned the lack of action and the abundance of characters talking about their feelings, which has never been this show’s strong suit. For the first 50 or so minutes of tonight’s episode, “Home,” I was ready to dismiss it in the same way, until those last…

Archaeologists Think Hidden Imperial Tomb May Be Too Deadly to Explore

After discovering a secret palace hidden in China’s first emperor massive burial complex, Chinese technicians are nervous. Not because Qin Shi Huang’s tomb is the most important archeological discovery since Tutankhamun, but because they believe his burial place is full of deadly traps that will kill any trespassers. Not to talk about deadly quantities of…

Are Spacecraft Killing Thousands of Antelopes In Kazakhstan?

Three years ago, 12,000 rare and endangered antelope carcasses were mysteriously found in Kazakhstan. Nobody knew what happened to them. Exactly one year later, people found 450 new dead bodies. No causes were found. Now, they have found another 1,000 corpses and nobody knows what is killing them yet. But some scientists think they know…

Man Tries to Sell Six Dead Babies On the Internet

The police have arrested a man for trying to sell six dead babies on the internet. The babies were being sold to be used in witchcraft.

Famous Album Covers With Dead Band Members Photoshopped Out

This tumblr is genius, in a disturbingly macabre way: Jean-Marie Delbes and Hatim El Hihi are photoshopping dead band members out of famous album covers. The results are oh-so-perfect and weird.

Weekend at Bernie’s Just Happened in Real Life

When Jeffrey Young recently discovered the corpse of his dearly departed friend, he did what any sensible 80s screwball comedy would: called his buddy, took the body to a strip club, and charged $400 to the dead man’s debit card. If that seems callous, please know that Young, 43, and pal Mark Rubinson, 25, did…

Sorry folks, this story is not about the hippie band from San Francisco. It’s about dead people and the websites that let you memorialize them.

The Post Office Is Dying Because We Don’t Need It Anymore

The Post Office is going to die, so says the old pony express.

But we don’t really need it anymore. It’s getting really rough for the boys in…

In People’s Minds, Being a Zombie Is Better than Being a Vegetable

Dead is dead. Except when you’re actually dead, apparently, because a recent study published in Cognition shows that people think a dead person is somehow better at thinking than a human vegetable.

Obama Puts an End To Fake Photo Shoots
