Baked Feature Topic

Did Cannabis Come from Space?

• Possibly Named by the Dogon Tribe in Africa, who have perhaps the longest history w the plant on Earth.
• Canna = Dog and Bis = Twin, or “Bi” - this can easily be debated/debunked but the word is used.
• The Dogon have an elaborate origin story for both Humanity, and the Cannabis plant, and claim both hail from Sirius B.

Net Neutrality

What fuckery is this, FCC? :https://hackernoon.com/more-than-a-million-pro-repeal-net-neutrality-comments-were-likely-faked-e9f0e3ed36

What is Net Neutrality, or an essay in support of Keeping current Rohrbacher-Blumenauer and Title II provisions in place.

Counterpoint by Jeffrey Tucker, of Fee.org: https://fee.org/articles/goodbye-net-neutrality-hello-competition/

Thanks to John Oliver, weighing in on this issue is made vastly less inconvenient by visiting the url GO FCC Yourself- this worked, I was able to submit an express comment on this issue

Closing:

Season One will conclude with Episode 20, coming out mid December. It’s going to be a special episode and one I hope everyone will find as fascinating as I do. I’m so excited about it that I have to tease you all mercilessly while giving away nothing about the actual topic! Trust me though, it’s going to be worthy of a season finale. Also, Season Two of our independent and commercial free Podcast will begin in mid January.
