Chickens Are Smarter Than They Look

November 10, 2019November 10, 2019

I’ve stopped eating octopus — with considerable regret — and now may have to stop eating other animals as well.

It just doesn’t seem right to eat animals that can pick locks and play video games.

Dogs, meanwhile, may be able to start speaking to us in sentences.  No kidding.  Take a look.

(Clearly, I’m taking one more day off.  Enjoy.  Thanks, Glenn.)


Oh, and wait — did you see this?!  Turns out, you can saw through Trump’s famous, beautiful, vitally important, game-changing, Mexican-funded, multi-billion-dollar wall with a $100 saw from Home Depot.

“Oops.”


Finally: Nick Kristoff urges us not to become numb.  Thither, tyranny.  Not what our veterans fought, and so often died, for.

Quote of the Day

"It was only 80 years from the time Darwin published ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES until we detonated the first nuclear bomb. In the lifetime of one person, we went from figuring out where we came from to figuring out how to get rid of ourselves."

Paleontologist Jack Horner
