One of the definitions of “physical” in the American Heritage Dictionary is:

Of or relating to matter and energy or the sciences dealing with them, especially physics.

That’s the trouble with raw stories. They’re often inaccurate. Yet if they say what will get people riled up, they’ll get engagement and praise here.

If a bunch of people were going around saying I got this weird burn on my skin after holding this rock for a while, scientists would have discovered radioactivity a lot sooner.

There are a bunch of people going around claiming to have interacted with ghosts, and we’ve got bupkis.

Russell’s Teapot orbits the sun. There isn’t room in this solar system for two orbiting teapots.

I think you’re further justified in your criticism because the poster’s whole schtick is to criticize Democrats.

Seems like there were a lot more serious crimes in his list than the salacious one in the headline.

No, but an African or European shrew could lactate into a coconut for storage purposes.

I’m glad my comment history passes the smell test.

It’s OK to make jokes on serious topics. My joke was that some smartass would come in and make an accurate but ill-advised point. That’s why I misspelled “actually” and didn’t complete it.

Well, ackshually…

It’s a fun post full of colorful characters.

It literally pays for itself. Do they not have traffic cops where you live?

Instead of enforcing traffic laws, municipalities now want to turn the roads into obstacle courses so people can’t even drive at the designed speed.

Barron’s, technocrit? Is this Bizarro World?

The Alliance for Workers’ Liberty hates both capitalists and Stalinists. Is this another Trotsky group?

Do Trotskyists wear ice pick necklaces?

Headline uses “continue” twice. Not great writing.

All the downvoters are trying to protect pedophiles. And capitalism.

ceenote might be saying that OP’s dad watches more porn than OP.

The author may be ignorant, but they probably spend a lot of time looking for stories that support the narrative they’re trying to push, and this is just another example.

I was looking for information about how the group was selected. It’s not in the Common Dreams article.

Common Dreams seems to be right up there with Jacobin and WSWS for unbiased news reporting. It’s one of the most commonly cited on Pravda News.

Which of the many links in the Common Dreams article is to the NY Times article it is based on? I tried quite a few and couldn’t figure it out.
