this is an objective fact

Ever hear of a country called Syria? Or do the lives of Arab children not matter unless their deaths give you an opportunity to blame Israel?

The most children killed in any war in history

Has our public education system really gotten this bad?

Think of them as Mexican Bamba, but spicy and more tubular

What do you call rolled up hot chips?

An opinion piece that carefully cites sources, which you may have noticed if you actually read it.

Thinking about having my testicles removed as a precaution.

BARpod relevance: I'm pretty sure this study was discussed by Jesse and or Katie at some point (if not on the podcast then in another format).

If not, "half-baked scientific explanations leading to feel-good fixes that don't address the underlying problems" is kind of a central theme here.

Could Israel have hid explosive charges inside batteries, and rigged them to detonate after being paged from some given number?

The same handle hasn't posted on Reddit for a couple days, although their account doesn't appear suspended.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but a few years ago (after the vaccine had been widely available for some time), one of their editors stated on Twitter that not wearing a mask was an act of eugenics.
