It's not Grimm, but it is grim.

Brandon & Stephen are somewhat boggled by the existence of a story that seems out of journalism's primordial past. Not a "man bites dog" story, but an even more ancient piece of news: "dog bites man."

Every Hornets Boxscore PodcastNovember 20th, 2010: Stack Jack Triple Double, Stephen Jackson leads a troubled Bobcats teamDate: November 20, 2010. Era: The Death of the Bobcats (2010-2016). Season/Game: 2010-11, Charlotte Bobcats vs Phoenix SunsThe 2010-11 Charlotte Bobcats season was full of promise off a playoff appearance. The team finally had some talent. Stephen Jackson was a pure scorer with attitude. Gerald Wallace was an All-Star caliber defensive stopper and rim runner. Boris Diaw was motivated and clear-eyed about his role. We look at a game before it all went disastrously wrong for Larry Brown and the team. David A. Arnott, founder of Rufus On Fire gives us more insight into what Stephen Jackson...2022-08-0456 minJournosDefacing the Mona Lisa and DALL•E’s Horrifying Netherworld of AI-Driven ArtWhat makes life worth living? What kind of cake does the Mona Lisa prefer? What does a chair made of avocados look like?
Art, in its many forms, seeks to answer all of the above. And for years, humans have enjoyed a near monopoly on creating it. But things are changing — and fast. Here, we take a look at people, our penchant for environmental destruction, and our even stronger proclivity for creating technology that may one day wipe us from the face of the earth — but not before creating next year’s fall lineup on Netflix.

At a time when even humans have a hard time believing in other humans, it's somewhat heartwarming to know these little guys are going all-in on our species. Ride and/or die!

What does it mean when a pair of sexually aroused river dolphins engage in rough play with an anaconda? Science has no definitive answers, but the media — from Business Insider to The New York Times to BroBible — will happily cover the confusion.
So begins an exploration into pareidolia, that cognitive quirk where we see faces in all kinds of stuff, and "find" patterns of meaning in just about everything else. In this episode, Brandon & Stephen ask whether pareidolia applies to how we read (and produce) the news, too.

The analysis, hand-wringing, and general worrywart-ery about how bad it might be for media has been great for media, giving journalists and pundits lots to fill up pages and airtime. And to tweet about, of course.
It's a lot to take in, but for us, it helps to think about the whole thing as a visit to a mall in a state of flux. What will happen to the sunglasses kiosks? Or the fountain where everyone chit-chats? And will an attempted government overthrow begin in the Orange Julius?

Chortling aside, the hairy black hole story is interesting to us for a few reasons. One is that, if correct, the hypothesis would resolve a contradiction at the heart of modern science — which involves whether or not anything can really escape the gravity of a black hole.

So! This episode is all about things infiltrating systems, which is much more interesting.

In this episode, Brandon and Stephen take a look at forms of protest and resistance in solidarity with and defense of Ukraine. First up is Marina Ovsyannikova, the woman who poached the state-run Russian airwaves with a message for her country’s people: “Don’t believe propaganda. They’re lying to you here.” Brandon then takes a l...2022-03-2432 min
