This Friday we're jamming on Big fines, big advancements and big wankers in the world of "science".  Shout out to the AMAZING work Therapsil has done in bringing psychedelic therapy to four Canadians facing the end of life. No shout out to those butt hurt medical journal slut shamers. But BIG ups to our man Dr. David Kyle Johnson, AKA Kyle, AKA not David! He comes through with a flurry of knowledge on the world of mask deniers and pseudoscience! BACKFIRE BACKFIRE BACKFIRE!
