Badly confused Donald Trump calls for Johnny Carson to replace …
2024年9月24日 · No, stop giving this asshole the benefit of the doubt. Just stop it. That’s how we got here, with half this country acting like he’s a normal politician and everything he does and says is normal. If you have to explain everything he says for it to not sound insane, the problem is him.
Two charged with chopping down famous tree in England
2024年5月1日 · I can’t imagine there’s ever just been a hoard of tourists wandering aimlessly through the fields. Furthermore, it’s not like it’s rich agricultural land and people are trampling valuable crops - it’s sheep-farming upland. It does sound typical of a certain kind of farmer though.
Teacher devises an ingenious way to check if students are using …
2024年3月30日 · I think that does sound clever in a way, but I hope there’s still emphasis on the value of learning to write well on one’s own. I think working through one’s thoughts via writing and learning how to express them well (again in writing) to others are great skills to have.
Why people who are wrong think they're right - Boing Boing BBS
2024年10月10日 · That really does sound like, if not Dunning-Kreuger, at least a corollary to it. “Illusion of < topic at hand > adequacy” is a great term also. I may need to steal that for later!
Cops use drug-sniffing dogs to detect abortion pills - boing
2024年10月17日 · That does sound like it’s within the USPS mandate, but I wonder what they’ll do when they open a package with US-sourced pills, possibly with a prescription? 2 Likes Shuck October 18, 2024, 11:33pm

FDA denies approval of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD - boing
2024年8月9日 · This is really disappointing. As there are millions in great need of a positive therapy. And the reason(s) this isn’t going ahead seem to be a strange mixture of definitions of what’s being approved (“a drug” or “a therapy” …utilizing a drug), and a lack of expertise on the FDA board about the clinical effects of psilocybin based therapies.
An old person's guide to "skibidi" and other Gen Z slang

Trump campaign secretly profiled Trump shooter's father in 2016 …
2024年7月16日 · One report said that the gun used was one of 20 owned by the shooter’s father, so he does sound like a likely true believer.

Classic video: James Randi exposes psychic fraudster - boing
