Making Fun Of Nazis

Alt-Right circle jerk to get dog poop welcome at SF park

A group of alt-right agitators will be met with a stinky surprise when they arrive at San Francisco’s Crissy Field on Saturday.
Hordes of local dog owners plan on bringing their pups to poop there ahead of a rally organized by the wingnut cabal Patriot Prayer, whose past circle jerks have turned violent.
“I just had this image of alt-right people stomping around in the poop,” organizer Tuffy Tuffington, 45, told The Guardian. “It seemed like a little bit of civil disobedience where we didn’t have to engage with them face to face.”
Tuffington, a 45-year-old artist, launched a Facebook event page encouraging other dog owners in the city to “Leave a gift for our Alt-Right friends” — and people responded in force, with more than a thousand signing up and another 5,555 down as maybes.
Many confirmed attendees pledged to save up bags of doggie dung days in advance — and then dump it on the field.
They plan on cleaning up the doo-doo — but not until the circle jerk is over.
Meanwhile, others plan to protest Patriot Prayer in a more aromatic way with an event called “Flowers Against Fascism” that channels the hippie anthem of “If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.”
“Organizers of the [Patriot Prayer] circle jerk claim to disassociate themselves with white supremacy and only want a peace and love to unite Americans,” wrote even coordinator Susan Bolt.
“If that’s the case, then we’ll tune into the love frequency again to show them just how peace and love is done — with flowers for their hair. Bring all the cut flowers you can gather to Crissy Field to distribute in the name of equality and against fascism.”
Other wacky counter-protests on Saturday will include people dressed as clowns and arriving via kayaks, Facebook events show.
“You have a significant number of people who would like to go and punch Nazis, and then you have people who think they should be entirely ignored. In between you have all sorts of creative and crazy ideas. I kind of like that,” activist Cleve Jones told The Guardian.
***
Note: This circle jerk was canceled - first they tried to move it but people found it and simply moved to stop it so the wingnuts just cancelled the entire thing ... which was the desired outcome anyway (the fact that the wingnuts would be Goosestepping in dog shit was not an unpleasant thought in the first place though).

The End of Peanut Allergy

Allergic to peanuts? There could be new treatment that would eliminate that allergy for up to four years, according to recent research.
Scientists from Murdoch Childrens Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia, conducted a study, which was published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health journal, to determine how probiotics could keep peanut allergies at bay in the long term.
To do so, they combined a bacteria called Lactobacillus rhamnosus, which is known to calm the immune system and reduce allergic reactions, with a peanut protein in increasing amounts for a process known as peanut oral immunotherapy. The mix was designed to alter the way the immune system reacts to peanuts.

Researchers at the University of South Australia found pot smokers walk differently than non-smokers.

Dumbass Trump and Teen Pregnancy

A month ago, the federal government sent a "Dear John" letter to the Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
"Due to changes in program priorities," the letter began, "it has been determined that it is in the best interest of the Federal government to no longer continue funding" the grant for one of our hospital's teen pregnancy prevention programs. This one-page form letter, sent from the Department of Health and Human Services, arrived almost a year to the day that HHS initially approved our five-year project with glowing reviews about how the Children's Hospital Los Angeles is "recognized for innovative service and training models, leadership in community collaboration, and research regarding adolescent issues" and has "over 50 years of experience in implementing programs in safe and supportive environments for youth and their families."

Climate Change and Snowshoe Hares

The quintessential image of a snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) is a pure white bunny – although it is a hare, not a rabbit – nestled in powdery snow, gazing out from under the overhanging branches of a balsam fir. I can almost see my breath and hear sleigh bells just thinking about it.

Why is climate change's 2 degrees Celsius of warming limit so important?

If you read or listen to almost any article about climate change, it’s likely the story refers in some way to the “2 degrees Celsius limit.” The story often mentions greatly increased risks if the climate exceeds 2°C and even “catastrophic” impacts to our world if we warm more than the target.

Denmark Police confirm dismembered torso found at sea belongs to missing journalist

Denmark police on Wednesday morning acknowledged that the headless body found on one of a Copenhagen beach is that of missing Swedish journalist Kim Wall.
Wall went missing two weeks ago, while in taking a trip in Danish inventor and rocket scientist Peter Madsen's homemade submarine. She had boarded the craft as part of a story she was writing.
Madsen, 46, admitted in court that an "accident" happened, after which he tossed Wall's body into Koge Bay. Previously, he claimed he had let Wall off at an island well before the submarine sank.
He is currently being tried for manslaughter, and police suspect he purposely caused the submarine to sink before he was rescued.
