Alex Jones goes full raving anti-Semite. (This isn't new behaviour, but the media noting it is.) Scott Adams declares that a lack of terrorist attacks before the elections is a sign that ISIS want Clinton to be President. Michele Bachmann says that Hillary Clinton wears "Mao suits" because she is a Economic Marxist. Channel 4 News promoted known war criminals in Syria, and is now hiding its own report. A British meninist campaigns for tampons to be taxed, arguing that "it's a woman's own fault if she lacks the self-control to hold the blood in her bladder outside the restroom". Naturally, he doesn't understand why he is being mocked over his apparent biology skills. Update: He really is that stupid.

A student group at the University of Cape Town proclaiming themselves Fallists, short for "Science must fall", argue to remove science from curriculum because science is "Eurocentric" and "based on racism".

Tyron Zegold thinks the sun doesn't exist. Rush Limbaugh complains that "the Left" treats nonconsensual sex as rape. has been named as The Atlantic's editor-in-chief. (Why that is a bad thing.) Ruth Bader Ginsburg calls Colin Kaepernick and other football player's refusal to stand for the pledge "dumb", "disrespectful", and "ridiculous". (Approx. the 20 min. mark) Update: Colin Kaepernick has responded. Vox Day has decided to fork Wikipedia: Infogalactic! (Guess Metapedia was too pantywaist for him.) Check the roadmap. "No, it's not. My designs always work. See: multibutton mice." Faux News breathlessly reports on a Bigfoot sighting.
