President Donald Trump held a dizzying press conference last week, educating the public on uranium and trumpeting his false claim of having the biggest electoral college victory since Reagan when he wasn’t telling a Jewish reporter to sit down and be quiet or asking a black reporter if she was friends with members of the Congressional Black Caucus so she could arrange a meeting with them for Trump. In other words, it was just another MAGA-filled day at the White House. So after having a few days to digest Trump’s press conference, how bigly would you say he won it?…

Dr. Brooke Simmons is an astrophysicist researching galaxies and black holes, specifically the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. When she isn’t spending her time figuring out the mysteries of the universe, she is also on the Zooniverse and Galaxy Zoo teams, which allow regular people to contribute to scientific research, such as the study of why so many people effortlessly break the Prime Directive in Star Trek (I think). We caught up with Dr. Simmons below and got her to give up the juiciest details about supermassive black holes and the mysteries of universe (hint: it definitely…

Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz is having himself a banner couple of weeks. First, the House Oversight Committee Chairman got peppered with “Do your job!” chants at a recent town hall with his constituents in Utah because there is a fat orange grifter currently in the White House. And while Chaffetz took it and kept a dialogue going during the event, he later called the booing and jeering attendees paid protestors, which is a favorite line of the Trump administration when reacting to any opposition whatsoever. That’s bad enough to make someone think Chaffetz had potentially lost his testicles in a horrible…

Now more than ever, we must be vigilant in our quest to learn every day, to fight the suppression of knowledge all around us, and to become a more informed society with a brighter future. This is why every month, we chronicle just some of the search terms people used in Google to find us. And with that in mind, here is an unedited list of search terms people used to find Robot Butt in January: batman penis size sell your soul online have you kissed your aunt butt dinosaur boner biten by scorpion on the penis virgin sacrifice volcano…

Adolf Hitler made, oh, somewhere around 650,000 mistakes during World War II, but one of the most ridiculous ones is that he straight-up slept right through the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Being the absolutely insane man that he was, Hitler often stayed up super late, but not because he was riddled with concerns about the war effort. No, he spent that time watching movies and goofing around on his own interests like a teenager. So the fact that he slept in until noon on the most important day of the war doesn’t exactly come as a…

Alaska is a reliably conservative state by most measures, but that doesn’t appear to be the case these days when it comes to the legalization of same-sex marriage. According to an Alaska Dispatch News poll from last month, an overwhelming majority of people believe in equal marriage rights for gay couples, which is a surprise given the existing idea that Alaska is a haven for social conservatives. Granted, only 50 percent of Republicans in the poll believe same-sex marriage should be legal, but that still outnumbers the 41 percent who said it should be illegal. And what was the overall…

Otho was considered one of the most reckless young hangers-on of Roman emperor Nero, which is really saying something, since Nero was rumored to dip capture Christians in oil and set them on fire at night in his garden just for a little extra lighting. It probably shouldn’t surprise you then that when Otho introduced Nero to his wife Poppaea, she and the emperor immediately began a torrid love affair and began plotting against Otho. Poppaea then convinced Nero to effectively banish Otho by making him the governor of a faraway province nobody gave a shit about, Lusitania. Unlucky for Nero,…

The baseball world is objectively better off when Manny Ramirez is playing in it. You know this, I know this, and God knows this. So you can imagine my despair when I thought Ramirez’s Hall of Fame playing career might finally be over when he became a coach (although I’m fairly certain it was a situation where he just showed up in the clubhouse one day and no one asked him to leave) for the Chicago Cubs. Not so fast! Miracles DO happen, as the 44-year-old has signed on to play in a Japanese independent league for a team called…

I love legendary NFL wide receiver Randy Moss for countless reasons, two of which are because I once met him at the Fuddruckers at the Detroit airport, and because he made Joe Buck clutch his pearls so hard they shattered when Moss pretended to moon Green Bay Packers fans during a playoff game in 2005. But I also love Moss because in his 1998 rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings, he scored 17 touchdowns and amassed 1,313 receiving yards. And he had 69 catches. Then he went ahead and had 69 catches again in 2008 with the New England Patriots. Nice.…
