This Viral Photo of Bill Nye Talking About Gender is Completely Fake

Have you seen this screenshot from an old episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy? It shows Nye with the caption, “Gender is determined by your chromosomes.” Alt-right social media users have been posting it because Nye recently said that gender is on a spectrum. But the old image is completely fake. The screenshot has…

Trump’s About-Face on WikiLeaks Sums Up Why He’s So Untrustworthy

Donald Trump no longer loves WikiLeaks. In fact, the president so expressively does not love the organization that he endorsed the idea of arresting founder Julian Assange on Friday. Which is weird because Trump literally announced, “I love WikiLeaks” at a rally in October. Trump now swears the world misunderstood him. The Associated Press published…

Experts Warn That Trump’s Lies About North Korea Hurt America’s Credibility

“We are sending an armada, very powerful,” President Donald Trump said over a week ago when asked about the tensions in North Korea.

Wait, Does Donald Trump Know the Leader of North Korea’s Name?

The United States stands on the brink of war with North Korea. As Vice President Pence said yesterday, the “era of strategic patience is over.” But it’s becoming increasingly clear that President Trump might not know the name of North Korea’s leader. Seriously. President Trump isn’t fond of details, at least outside of his golf…

Rude Tweet at Trump From the Stratosphere Is Quite Poignant

The Autonomous Space Agency Network (ASAN), an independent advocate of DIY space exploration, has a message for Donald Trump and they’ve launched a weather balloon into the stratosphere to send it: “@realDonaldTrump LOOK AT THAT, YOU SON OF A BITCH.” It’s honestly not as confrontational as it seems at first glance. https://gizmodo.com/rip-apollo-14-astronaut-edgar-mitchell-the-sixth-man-t-1757382904 The Overview Effect…

That Viral Sean Spicer Apology About ‘Fellow Germans’ Is Totally Fake

Yesterday, Sean Spicer said that Hitler, “didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.” It was completely wrong and he apologized.

With Attack on Syria, Trump Alienates the Alt-Right [Updated]

One of the few issues uniting the loose coalition of meme obsessed right-wingers, ethno-national, white supremacists, and other fringe political camps we’ve come to know as the alt-right has been the sentiment that our protracted wars in the Middle East were a grave misstep. Many Trump supporters I’ve spoken to went so far as to…
