New York to ban smartphones in schools

I understand that people crave the illusion of control over their out-of-control environments; but I’m always puzzled by the genre of people insisting on the vital importance of communication under circumstances where there’s nothing they would be nothing they would be able to do with the information.

Candace Owens pivots to paleontology, calls dinosaurs "absurd"

I’m just amused when their argument ends at “it goes against common sense!” as if “common sense” was something that was reliable even on the human scale in day-to-day matters, much less in all the realms of knowledge where it’s demonstrably wrong.

Lawyer who pooped in a Pringles can has license reinstated

Yeah. Ok, I’m going to go ahead and make this promise now. Hopefully it won’t come back to haunt me. I promise, once I am admitted to the bar, that I will never, ever, hurl any object full of feces anywhere, other than maybe a bag of dog poop into my own trash can, if I’m feeling particularly daring. ETA: Also, I promise to not do that even if I’m never admitted to the bar.

LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP!! Not that this would happen, of course. Corporations are only people when it is convenient for them to be so. Weird, that, eh?
