Overnight Open Thread (6 May 2017)

This here is a shining example of why the media is ignored by intelligent people. What caused Venezuela's collapse is no mystery - except to economically illiterate journalists.

Oh and here's another one. ISIS appreciates the NRA's work. The issue? They both believe there are gunshow loopholes. There aren't.

Teaching Self-Control

This clever cookie box that teaches self-control assumes you just won't take a hammer to it. Which is a form of self control itself because it would be easier to just hurl it against the wall to smash it open without taking the time to get a hammer and break it open in a controlled fashion.

Medical Studies

Medical studies are almost always bogus. So are climate change studies.

Lucas King

Haunting take on classic John Williams Star Wars pieces.

Hedy Lamarr

I'm gonna have to check out this documentary. The 'mother of WiFi' gets her due in a new documentary. Today's actresses can't hold a candle to Hedy Lamarr's accomplishments.

Fake News

Unchecked fake news gave rise to an evil Empire in Star Wars. Nah. I'm pretty sure it was just Jar-Jar Binks that caused the rise.

Ticks

Tis the season morons so take precautions before venturing out into the woods. Ticks can spread a rare virus that's worse than Lyme Disease.

Dunkirk

This movie looks to be pretty good. I know some are worried by a PG-13 rating.

Pisner

Beer made out of actual piss exists. Ok, they don't really use piss in the brew but they used recycled urine to fertilize the fields of barley.

Whoa

Did the WaPo really publish this? Despite critics' claims, the GOP health bill doesn't classify rape or sexual assault as a pre-existing condition.

Cat Video

Tonight's ONT brought to you by looking forward to being attacked:
