Someone posting from the West Virginia Department of Education is posting crap to my comments. I can't track down exactly who it is but this idiot is pathetic, using state equipment to harass a blogger.

A Bigfoot play staged in Oregon pokes at the certainty of both skeptics and believers alike. And is an attempt to bring Todd Standing back after his ridiculous fake displays. lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/arts-c...

Mastodon and on Bluesky seem to have plateaued in growth. It feels like social media has lost its luster. We need an impetus to use it again, for it to become actually useful again.

I would venture to say Bigfoot is actually way MORE popular than a war with Iran. We would ALL prefer to have a forest giant as a symbol of North America than the dumbass "leaders" we have now. Somebody do the poll and let's see.

The blueprint for celebrating small town monsters is successfully being copied across the US. moderncryptozoology.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/k...

To put this in context: Consistently, about 13 percent of Americans believe in Bigfoot. So war with Iran polls slightly better than Bigfoot.

A reminder that there will always be 20-30% of the population that is unreachable and irretrievably asinine. Can’t ever rehab them.

I really love this platform. Out of all the social media sites (and real life situations), this feed certainly has the highest degree of non-stupidity.

Upon hearing the news this AM, I recall thinking that people likely made money from it.

I’ve so much to say that I don’t know where to begin. I’m at a loss.

For two hours, I indulged in a silly thing about monsters that means nothing in the broader picture of things. But focusing on meaningless minutiae of any kind is sometimes good for your mental well-being. moderncryptozoology.wordpress.com/2026/02/28/s...

North American hockey naively tolerates ugly conservative values and these players entertained the disgraceful, unpopular, self-absorbed POTUS. So don't wonder why people are pissed at you. If you play with the pigs, you're going to get dirty. slate.com/news-and-pol...

John Oliver gives a brutal summary of the current state of Elon Musk's X I'm sorry but if you are still operating on that platform, you are an idiot. Repent and leave for good so that demon site dies. mashable.com/video/john-o...

In the past two years I've gotten back into following hockey. I've been disappointed. I gave up on NASCAR, horse racing and cycling because of their awfulness. Why can't we have anything fun and good anymore? ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

I had fun talking with the Cryptidiots for their 20th episode. I can't not be mostly serious but the rest of the show is goofy fun. I was just so tickled that people actually read my stuff on pop cryptids. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Amtrak cancelled my train last Friday after doubling the price days before. Rebooking on other trains were sold out. If they aren’t going to refund what I paid in full, I’m going straight to the state attorney general’s office. This is bullshit.

There is a new Pride & Prejudice coming soon on Netflix. But the Gen X crowd will never replace Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. Sorry. Not happening.

JFC! I do not want an X Files reboot. But they are going to shove it in our faces anyway. How unoriginal can you be!?

At some point, your favorite sports guy will likely disappoint you. They are just humans who are paid to entertain us. We should not treat them like some kind of gods. I’m a terrible “fan”.

I loved this video of a black jaguar. You can REALLy see how thick the body and head is. Just in case anyone ever shows you a wonky pic of "black panther" in the US. Nope. www.reddit.com/r/Jaguarland...

It is NOT cool to spread AI slop. If it looks too "cute" or amazing, check before posting. If you post AI art, label it as such. Otherwise, you are being a jerk by attempting to pass off generated crap as real.

I do wonder if this is very shallow tiny earthquakes that release energy above ground as sound. A similar phenomenon exists as the Moodus Noises in Connecticut. Seismographs won't pick up vibration (magnitude of <1) unless they are right at the epicenter. www.thevibes.com/articles/new...

I am always SO happy to Zoom into college classes to talk about science-pseudoscience, and fringe topics. Thanks to the several teachers that invited me to do that. I love it.

Fake AI images went viral suggesting Epstein was alive and living in Israel, as well as claims his Fortnite account also showed him still active. Vedika Bahl goes through it in Truth or Fake.

I watched Miracle: The Boys of ‘80 on Netflix instead of the overhyped nonsense. It was AWESOME.

I've come across at least 3 "new" online databases that are attempting to record anomalous events in real time with an aim towards a scientific approach. NONE are any good because they are relying on unverified eyewitness data and people are really bad at this.
