We here at The Doctor Demento Show would like to express our sincerest apologies for today's program. When we invited Tom Lehrer on the show, it was in hopes of having a frank and honest exchange of ideas about local avian fauna. The last thing we would condone is hate speech, and as such, his comme

I know I should just never read youtube comments, but people online talking about how to make lamb taste less like lamb because lamb tastes bad* should be shot out of a cannon into a vat of sheep dip. *With no acknowledgement that this is an entirely subjective dickhead take on the topic

Every once in a while I am reminded that we are only one of several groups with a claim to the title "human", and it makes me a little sad I'll never meet them. As many as *8* now-extinct species of human may have been alive at the same time as us, roughly 300,000 years ago.

I will never forget the interview, shortly after Ozy Media Inc. was formed, where Carlos Watson said he named it after the poem, because "the lesson you take from [Ozymandias] is that you have to dream big." So that's why liberal arts education is important.

I'm in a meeting and all I can think about is the chunk of smoked duck breast in the fridge that I could be slicing very thinly and eating with my hands

I wish "no sugar added" meant "not sweet" instead of "we added a bunch of headache inducing bullshit".

A remake of THE KILLER, only more gay and more ridiculous and co-starring the guy from Lupin?! Was this in any way necessary? No. Will I be seeing it on opening night? Absolutely the fuck yes.

People. There's a motorcycle exploding in midair. There are two-fisted gunfights. There's at least one dove. youtu.be/NNL5915mONE?...

This week #InsertAnInvert2024 is about troglofauna: the cave dwellers. 🧪🐡 I’m veering from the suggested species to illustrate some #invertebrates I travelled to see, in the glowworm cave of Waitomo. I love bioluminescence and being a bit claustrophobic I was proud that I ventured into caves, 🧵1/n

Saw someone’s take is “Bouie not being here won’t make or break” this site. I am happy to say some things about how platform migration works. It’s true, one user never makes or breaks anything, but for U.S. users the presence of young Black folks has driven the popularity of new tech for decades 1/?

13yo and I are amusing ourselves at breakfast by looking up “raccoon” on google translate and seeing how many languages were like “yup, that’s a bear doing its laundry” - German: Waschbär (washbear) - Danish: vaskebjørn (wash bear) - Bulgarian: миеща мечка (washing machine bear)

Spotted this beautiful Pincushion Hakea (Hakea laurina) flowering in a local national park. Endemic to #WesternAustralia, the wild populations are listed as vulnerable. I suspect this one was a garden escapee #biodiversity #ozflora #ozplants #PerthHills 🌿

Hey wanna see something not terrible? One of the Moth Appreciators brought a rosy maple moth stuffed animal for good luck, then we found a rosy maple moth. Gathering around the moth on a stick is a nice & wholesome activity. Sometimes things are good.
