Ringing vs. Bringing in the New Year: What’s the difference, and which is right?

You can bring in the New Year by ringing in the New Year, so neither is right. But technically, you aren’t RINGING in the New Year unless bells are involved. So BRINGING is always right, and RINGING is only literally correct if bells are rung. Unless it counts when your ears are ringing. In which case I’ve been RINGING in the New Year for years now.
Happy 2017 Everybody!! Hope everyone’s 2017 is better than 2016…no matter how crazy shit gets up in here.

Scientists Stumped By Thousands Of Dead Fish Off Nova Scotia

Stumped? Really? It’s happening all over. Florida. New York. Out on the west coast. Around the world. It’s either toxins or temperature. Or both. And either way, humans are at least partially responsible.
So let’s keep being stumped, scientists. If you can even call yourself that, in this post-truth age, where science is the pawn of politics rather than slave to truth and fact.

Worst Man-Made Disasters Of 2016 You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

All in all, 2016 also sucked for Mother Earth. Between the oil spills, air pollution, nuclear waste and climate change, we turned up the pressure in an already stressed global ecosystem. Humans must come to understand, and approach, zero impact living if we expect to survive on this world.

Obama Wrote the Most Popular Scientific Journal Article of 2016

AND here we see one of the BIGGEST problems with science in America. If you can call it that.
We should leave science to scientists. That way, when we look at scientific facts, we will know they are actually factual and not political instruments pretending to be science in our Alt-Post-Half-Truth society.
So many questions…How does a social activist who is a trained lawyer get published in a scientific journal? Does being President suddenly qualify you to be an expert in EVERYTHING? How is Obamacare a topic in a scientific journal anyway? WTF happened to SCIENCE and the Scientific Method?
No wonder climate change deniers don’t trust science. Apparently anybody can take whatever topic they want, call it science, and get published. Why should ANYONE trust scientists if they think Obama is qualified to write for a scientific publication…much less be the MOST POPULAR article?

Coral Reefs Threatened By Climate Change, Studied From High Above | Video

If the coral reefs are allowed to die, up to 1/4 of all the ocean species will perish with them. Even species that don’t live near, or depend directly on coral reefs, feed on species that depend on those reefs. The ocean will be changed forever…and not in a positive way…if we don’t stop the destruction of these delicate ecosystems.

It’s 2016, yet the DEA still refers to cannabis as ‘marihuana.’ Why is that?

#News420
I don’t know…maybe for the same stupid reason they keep it listed Schedule 1 so it can’t be studied, because it hasn’t been studied enough?
Of course, calling it “Marijuana” regardless of spelling is a racial slur equating it with minority involvement in the illegal use and trafficking. It is a slang term, and the correct nomenclature should be “Cannabis”. “Marihuana” isn’t even a word.
Hey…I wonder if the prohibition laws could be overturned because “Marihuana” doesn’t actually exist? Even my spellcheck says it isn’t a word, so any law prohibiting it is literally prohibiting something that doesn’t actually exist.

How to fight a holiday hangover like a pro

Yoga? Yeah sure. Yoga cures everything.
Me…I say: Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. I’ve had plenty of hangovers. They key is AVOIDANCE.
No, I don’t mean avoiding getting drunk…just the hangover. Drink a quart of water, eat a banana and two tylenols before bed…no hangover.

Progressives see a leader in Bernie Sanders as they prepare to fight back

#Bernie2020.
By then, it should be pretty clear that Trump has screwed us royally, and we’ll be ready to accept that Capitalism without a conscience is NOT what America should stand for. We are the ONLY country that refuses to take care of our sick, poor and elderly and tells them “pull yourselves up by your bootstraps”. Socialism is NOT communism…it is Capitalism with equity and economic justice for ALL…not just the rich.
And frankly, Socialism is not a fringe idea…it’s more like the World standard, subscribed to by the governments of nearly every developed country on the Planet.

America’s underpaid-teacher problem, in one chart

We pay teachers about 60% of what they would make in other occupations given the same amount of education. It’s no accident that the SMARTEST teachers, choose to do something else. Why would you possibly choose to earn 40% less money? You’d have to really love kids, (and there are some amazing teachers who do it only for that love of education), or not actually be qualified for those other jobs, to choose to go into teaching in the USA.
You know, if we don’t invest nationally in education, we’ll just keep ending up with more national stupidity.

Man Heads To Trial For Driving Under The Influence Of Caffeine

What the fuck?
First, who the fuck gets arrested for DUI after blowing zero? Second, how the fuck do you justify a DUI for a non-controlled substance? This is what happens when you give an agency too much power for their charter. They end up with too much time on their hands and desperately trying to justify their existence. The California Alcoholic Beverage Control should stick to arresting bartenders for serving someone one too many and shaking down liquor stores for selling to 20 year olds.

Yes’ Jon Anderson on Rock Hall Elation, Reunion Prospects

Yes was the first concert I ever saw. In the round. 1978 i think. Anderson, Wakeman, Squire, Howe and White. It was basically “Yessongs” live. You never forget your first show. Jon Anderson’s voice has always been an inspiration…although I pretty sure I’d need to be gelded to hit anywhere close to the high notes he simply floats through. Congratulations to Yes on making the Hall.

Santa and the ‘Shrooms: The real story behind the “design” of Christmas

European Father Christmas isn’t the only inspiration for our Santa Claus…shroomin’ shamans from Siberia (and Alaska) seem to have brought the whole thing together for us here in the Americas.

“And like so many other fantastical tales, it all originated with some really intense ‘shrooms. On the night of the winter solstice, a Koryak shaman would gather several hallucinogenic mushrooms called amanita muscaria, or fly agaric in English, and them to launch himself into a spiritual journey to the tree of life (a large pine), which lived by the North Star and held the answer to all the village’s problems from the previous year.”
