Three mule deer wandered up to a brand-new bridge near Grass Lake, in the far north of California, and walked across it. The bridge was built just for them, and other animals, and a trail camera caught them taking advantage of it. Remarkably, the bridge was not even finished being built when they used it.…Continue reading The Kind of People Who Build Bridges for Animals
For years, the only way to fight against the weedkiller Roundup has been in a courtroom. Individuals who asserted that their lives had been forever altered by cancer from the weedkiller sued its maker, Bayer, which purchased the chemical’s original manufacturer, Monsanto, by the tens of thousands. At times, juries agreed with the plaintiffs and…Continue reading Kennedy Is in the Room. But Whose Science Is on the Table?
$53.5 billion. That is what twenty of the world’s largest grain, fertilizer, meat, and dairy companies paid their shareholders over 2021 and 2022.

A cross section of doctors…Continue reading America’s ‘Sanjay Gupta Moment’ and the Denial of Early Covid Treatments
“The jab” is just the latest story to be reported as mantra By Matt Taibbi Yesterday, I ran a story that had nothing to do with vaccines, about the seeming delay of the development of a drug called molnupiravir (see the above segment with the gracious hosts of The Hill: Rising for more). In the time it took to…Continue reading The Cult of the Vaccine
