A Podcast for your cousin Joey

My funny little show on Sex and Politics today (2/19/2015) is worth a listen, especially if you’re like me and you keep getting involved in discussions about climate change and scientific debate with people who watch a lot of Fox News. I spoke to James Lawrence Powell, a geochemist and retired professor who served on both President […]

Is this how die-off starts?

I’ve been posting about near-term human extinction for several months now–ever since I became aware of the work of Dr. Guy McPherson.

For many ‘Muricans, MLK’s birthday is just a three-day weekend. I have written about conspiracy theories and conspiracy facts before. The ongoing civil disobedience […]
