Science/Suicide Cult With Funding

The universe does not give a shit about your feelings.
Science/OH, COME THE FUCK ON
Hurricane Polo's 'Explosive' Intensification Was the Ocean Throwing a Tantrum

Science/SOME ACTUAL GOOD SHIT

An early galaxy did something it was not supposed to do. NASA said they do not know why yet. That is the good version of science.
