Episode 75 - Necrobotics

Apostates on the Fringe

In this episode: A slow news week, so Dustin gets to nerd out about random science shit. Up first, Necrobotics! Rice University scientists reanimate dead spiders to function as robotic gripping claws...for some reason other than they can. More climate change news, with a Science.org article showing an adverse reaction to cleaner air. But Joe Manchin reverses course from our previous episode and strikes a deal with Schumer for a bill package that includes $369Bn for climate initiatives. Steven Bannon said the quiet part out loud, that the claim the election was stolen was absolutely pre-planned in detail. Trump also seeks to appeal the ruling that he is not immune from civil lawsuits regarding the Jan 6 insurrection. In more science nerd shit, China launched a rocket and a 20+ ton booster is in an uncontrolled descent to earth and will hit this Saturday. In our ACAB: 2 men bribed a jail officer to get the key to the cells to rape and assault several women. And lastly, Matt Gaetz is a complete misogynistic piece of shit again and thinks only attractive people should have rights.
