For the love of god don’t look it up. If you’ve made it this far without hearing it, just count your blessings. It’s worse than you can possibly imagine.

I’m just impressed that Elon finally made something worse than the Harambe rap.

The PI didn’t have rich east-siders as its key demographic. It was more in tune with the actual city’s zeitgeist.

It’s surprising how many people will plug in a random USB drive that they find. Apparently that’s how the CIA got the Stuxnet virus into Iran’s system and nerfed their centrifuges back in the day.

My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana. I said ‘No. But I want a regular banana later. So yes.’

Hmm. Kinda missed a golden opportunity to call the paper the Sun Sun.

Yeah, but just based on my own prejudices, the antivax community ain’t a huge fan of the Spanish- speaking community.

Bottom trawling is one of the most hideously destructive things we do to this planet. Imagine if you wanted to catch rabbits, so you hooked a giant nylon net to the back of two humvees. Put them 100 yards apart and drive through a forest, knocking down trees, shredding the underbrush, catching anything and everything in its path. At the other end of the forest you carefully step over all of the dying deer, moose, mice etc and pick out the 30-40 rabbits that you want. Then you leave the net and everything else you just happily killed lying at the edge of the forest so nothing can grow under it. That’s what bottom trawling is. People would be horrified by it, except that it literally happens under the surface.

This is a huge part of the reason that we’re missing a billion crab. This is a huge part of why the king salmon are dying, which is a huge part of why the orcas are starving.

Commercial fishing in general has massive, glaring environmental problems, from bycatch to emissions to illegal overfishing to everything else under the sun. But if I had to pick one issue to focus on it would be bottom trawling.

And Washington State produces more potatoes than Idaho.

And Wisconsin has more lakes than Minnesota.
