Yeah I’m a skeptic and enjoy debunking conspiracy theories so I’ve actually encountered this in the wild quite a bit.

It’s a bunch of people who think Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and They Live (1988) were documentaries with a little good old fashioned Illuminati nonsense mixed in for good measure. It’s as if someone watched part of a David Icke video once then tried to describe his beliefs to someone else from memory. It’s just such a painfully unoriginal conspiracy theory for people with TikTok attention spans.

    He's spent the last year alienating all of the United States' allies and in some cases, directly threatening their sovereignty. So of course nobody wants to get involved in his mess.

    Before anyone gets excited, Ron Johnson was part of the plot to submit fake electors for Michigan and Wisconsin to overturn the 2020 election. He's also said he's unsure about running for reelection in 2028, so any political fallout for this minor little "principled stance" doesn't matter. He'll just retire if it comes to that.

    South Park: Snow Day! I loved Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole, so I really wanted to like Snow Day, but unfortunately it's just not very good. I wouldn't even call it bad, it's just middling in almost every way. Now to add insult to injury, it was also pretty short.

    If they make another South Park game it won't be a day one purchase for me, I've learned my lesson. I can wait for a sale.

    I remember reading an old interview back in the day with John C. McGinley where he explained the reason his character hates Hugh Jackman is that the show's creator, Bill Lawrence, didn't want to punch down. So he chose the most talented actor he could think of, Hugh Jackman.

    The oldest human remains ever found in Northern Britain have been identified as a young female three years after being discovered in a Cumbrian cave. Excavated at Heaning Wood Bone Cave in Cumbria's Great Urswick by local archaeologist Martin Stables, the 11,000-year-old bones provide clear evidence of Mesolithic burials in the North.

     

    In 1958, an amateur archaeologist named John Cowles excavated the Cougar Mountain Cave in Oregon and retained many of the artifacts found there. Upon his death in the 1980s, these items were transferred to the Favell Museum in Klamath Falls. Finally, modern archaeologists are taking a closer look at these items along with a collection from the Paisley Caves, which includes ancient needles, braided cordage, and the oldest piece of sewn material ever found. Their research is now published in Science Advances.
