Scientists: Earth Endangered by New Strain of Fact-Resistant HumansBy
Andy BorowitzMINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report)—Scientists have discovered a powerful new strain of fact-resistant humans who are threatening the ability of Earth to sustain life, a sobering new study reports.
The research, conducted by the University of Minnesota, identifies a virulent strain of humans who are virtually immune to any form of verifiable knowledge, leaving scientists at a loss as to how to combat them.
“These humans appear to have all the faculties necessary to receive and process information,” Davis Logsdon, one of the scientists who contributed to the study, said. “And yet, somehow, they have developed defenses that, for all intents and purposes, have rendered those faculties totally inactive.”
More worryingly, Logsdon said, “As facts have multiplied, their defenses against those facts have only grown more powerful.”
While scientists have no clear understanding of the mechanisms that prevent the fact-resistant humans from absorbing data, they theorize that the strain may have developed the ability to intercept and discard information en route from the auditory nerve to the brain. “The normal functions of human consciousness have been completely nullified,” Logsdon said.
While reaffirming the gloomy assessments of the study, Logsdon held out hope that the threat of fact-resistant humans could be mitigated in the future. “Our research is very preliminary, but it’s possible that they will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,” he said. Be vewwwy vewwwy careful. They write among us.
These were taken by me a few days after the huge snow storm, that we had in New Jersey a month ago.
There's STILL some of that snow left on the ground.
At the time almost everything was covered with a blanket of about 18 inches of snow.
The rare exceptions were where the plows had pushed snow off the street and got low enough
to scrape the ground. Food for wildlife was scarce. But these 2 knew where to find some.
May I present to you my fine feathered friends, Mr. & Mrs. Cardinal;
There's a birthday today. No. Not mine.
Someone you probably like a lot more, especially if you are British.
While it won't shake you, it might stir you to get a birthday card mailed, or show up at his door in a lacy Victoria Secret outfit.
Either way, he may be getting Pusssy Galore.
It's Daniel Craig's birthday. He was born on this day in 1968.
The last one of thee was a lot of fun with several good captions.
So, here's another nature photo. This one of a polar bear.
Again, if you like add your own suggestion(s) for the caption.
Or simply enjoy the creative offerings by others.
My first caption is; "Hey you. Give me a kiss and you get a special.....bear hug."
Here's the photo (not mine);
Sunset occurs today near me at 5:50 pm.
It was not long ago, that it was at 4:50 pm.
This means we already have another hour of daylight.
There is only 14 more days until spring is officially here.
Indeed, spring training (MLB) kicked off yesterday in Florida.
The season will be soon upon us.

And this isn't the first time. Now, before you scold me, this time it's different.
The other times, the gals were at least separated from their husband.
In this instance, she spends a lot of her time less than 2 feet from her partner. Well, that hasn't stopped me, even though she doesn't even know, that I exist. I guess you might call this a case of unrequited love.
But, it gets a little weirder. Because I've never even met her and she's in her 30's.
Plus, I don't love all of her, just her voice.
I'd like you to meet Rachel Price and this is where I first 'met' her;
We all eat. Almost all of us enjoy eating.
Imagine getting paid to eat. The longer you eat, the more money you make.
It seems that in Korea, people will pay $ to watch others eat.
It's called Mukbang. Talk about more bang for your buck..... er.... muk
Some people are making $ Thousands per month, while eating on Zoom.
Even you can do that.

A mukbang (Korean: (About this soundlisten), also known as an eating show) is an online audiovisual broadcast in which a host consumes large quantities of food while interacting with the audience. It became popular in South Korea in 2010, and since then has become a huge worldwide trend. Varieties of foods, ranging from pizza to noodles, are consumed in front of a camera.
A mukbang is usually prerecorded or streamed live through a webcast on streaming platforms such as AfreecaTV, YouTube, and Twitch. Based on the attractiveness of real-time and interactive aspects, eating shows are expanding their influence in internet broadcasting platforms and serve as a virtual community and a venue for active communication among active internet users.

Costco is raising its minimum wage to $16 an hour, leapfrogging competitors including Target and Amazon.
Costco CEO Craig Jelinek announced the increase Thursday at a U.S. Senate Budget Committee hearing on worker wages at large companies. Democrat lawmakers and President Joe Biden are pushing to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 from $7.25.
"Since Costco's inception, the company has been committed to paying the employees very competitive retail wages and providing them broad and affordable health care benefits," Jelinek said. "Two years ago, we moved our starting hourly wage to $15 everywhere in the U.S. Effective next week, the starting wage will go to $16."
But the membership-based wholesale chain already is paying many of its 180,000 U.S. workers a much higher rate. Jelinek said the average wage for hourly workers is around $24 per hour.[/b
Costco has 558 clubs in 45 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico.
"We try to take care of our employees because they play such a significant role in our success," Jelinek said, who noted the longevity of employees and that Costco pays regular bonuses and offers vacation time.
