17 healthy volunteers were paid to help prove a method of testing vaccines for schistosomiasis, which can be lethal, but some researchers are conflicted about the trial.

If you don’t know Brandon Morse, you need to head over to Twitchy sister site RedState (after you finish reading our posts) and dig into his back catalog. And like many conservatives over the past 48 hours, Morse isn’t too thrilled with President Trump right now.
As Twitchy reported Wednesday, Trump held a bipartisan session about school safety and seemed very receptive to Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s concerns about violence in movies and video games…

There are many ways to die. Getting stuck and slowly dying of thirst, starvation, or suffocation might be the worst of them. Even the people who manage to survive often end up traumatized. Going through such events frequently results in claustrophobia, which is among the most common phobias. Accidents, where the victims could not be […]

As one of the world’s most recognizable brands, Harry Potter has spawned books, movies, plays, games, and theme parks.

Last week, human dumpster fire Jim Hoft posted a completely unfounded conspiracy theory on his site, Gateway Pundit, that Douglas High School students like David Hogg were “crisis actors” in the latest gun control campaign.
But according to an analysis by research group New Media Frontier, it wasn’t Hoft’s fellow Alt-Right tools who are responsible for the viral spread of his conspiracy theory:

Fascinating new media story here: how Chelsea Clinton was far more responsible for spreading the Parkland shooting conspiracy theory about “crisis actors” than any crazy on the right: https://t…

He successfully conducted research into fatal cardiac disorders, including a rare genetic malfunction called long QT syndrome.

It’s a little too late for this to be a scorching hot take on the Parkland, Fla., school shooting, but Slate has finally come through with a psychological explanation of why conservatives are “so obsessed with guns.”

We don’t expect anyone to click over to Slate for the explanation, so here’s a short summary: conservatives have less empathy, dislike change, don’t do nuance, see human nature as bad, are more moralistic … in short, that’s why they cling to their guns and religion…

If you spend time on Twitchy, you likely spend time on Twitter (or wisely let us do the dirty work for you). In any case, you’ve probably come across members of The Resistance who refuse to use President Trump’s name.
Cher, for example, mostly resorts to a toilet emoji, while others just use slurs. Remember when Bernice King passed around a Facebook post advising people to NEVER use the name Trump, saying “45” would do?
Well, it looks like Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor and media favorite Cameron Kasky has followed suit, refusing to spell out the name Rubio in his tweets:

I haven’t had enough time to read R*bi*’s little proposals, but you guys know we don’t have to settle for less, right?
Dirty blood money politicians like him want to throw us 2 pennies and make us thank them on our knees as if they just paid off our mortgage…

We’ve heard all of many strange disappearances of people from planes and ships. But sometimes, whole planes and ships disappear in mysterious ways as well. Sometimes, they’re found in just days, but others are never found at all. When you’re finally embarking on that long-awaited and much-needed vacation, you might wish you never had to […]

The idea of being buried alive has frightened humankind for thousands of years and, as Edgar Allan Poe well knew, fell right into the realm of nightmares. While the idea plagued our distant ancestors, it also terrified our more recent Victorian predecessors who formed societies to prevent being buried alive. As these societies began to […]
