In other "news" Tucker Carlson went on "The Rogan Experience" and denied that evolution by means of natural selection explained the diversity & history of living things on earth.

Said there was "no evidence" humans could have evolved "from a single cell organism"

It's impossible to know if he's just saying this for attention.

I've always said science would be next. Tucker is the vanguard of the far right. Give it five years and you'll have congress members wanting this in your schools.

A reminder that on Monday, when the Solar Eclipse occurs, there will be earthquakes.

It's not because of the eclipse. It's because today alone there were almost 300 earthquakes. And last year there were an average of 2,000 earthquakes a week. They are pretty common. We just don't notice them because they don't always occur near us.

But when they happen during significant events, it presents an excellent money making opportunity for people with no morals. So there's scary rumors about earthquakes on Monday. And there will be. Maybe there will be 300 earthquakes. Maybe some will be significant. It most likely has nothing to do with the eclipse, because it happens daily, with and without an eclipse.

TLDR: earthquakes are common. And tying it to a celestial event is a great opportunity for charlatans.

Evening meetings be like...

(This is Horizons Workrooms, where your computer connects to the headset to put the display into the #VR meeting room and you can see--via the pass through cameras--a small square in front of you with your keyboard and... tea mug.)

Looking for a TTRPG played with a couple, where some deities curse the couple to become animals at opposite times of day to separate them. The point is to convince the deities to remove the curse.

I had it somewhere but can't remember the name. I think it was on itch. Sounds familiar to anyone?

Searches come up empty, and I broke down and used CoPilot which got stuck in a loop of "TRY THIS VIDEO GAME FOR THE PS5"
