The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously ruled that the government may not strip people of their Second Amendment rights or prosecute them for illegal gun possession simply because they are marijuana users. In United States v. Hemani, the Court held that neither policy is “consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation,” the constitutional test established by its 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. Given the tenor of questions during oral argument in March, the result is not surprising. But the fact that the justices all agreed the government had failed to meet…
The most famous film of Bigfoot has been conclusively revealed as a hoax in a new documentary film, Capturing Bigfoot. The iconic 1967 footage taken in Bluff Creek, California, by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin is said to show a female Bigfoot (dubbed “Patty”) walking across a riverbed. The 16-mm film has been the subject of controversy and debate for half a century and is routinely cited as the gold standard for Bigfoot footage (even some fifty-five years later, which is deeply suspicious given the ubiquity of high-quality smartphone cameras since then). Though the footage is blurry, one thing is…

Tarot Card Reader Owes $10 Million for Defamatory Accusations. On February 27, a jury awarded $10 million in damages to Rebecca Scofield, who had sued Ashley Guillard for defamation. Guillard, who testified that she believes she has psychic powers, read tarot cards to help her investigate the stabbing deaths of four students in Idaho in 2022. She falsely claimed in TikTok videos that “Scofield had an affair with one of the female victims and tried to cover it up by ordering her death.” She’s appealing the verdict. In 2025, Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to the murders and is now serving…

, which he called “the greatest night of fights of all time” and the “wildest experience that I’ve ever had.”\”I know people saw it on television and it looked insane. But the magnitude of the event, being there live,” he said. “Unlike anything else I’ve ever done.””People used to look at you like: ‘You’re working for a cage-fighting organization? Why would you do that?’ Cut to 25 years later, it’s on the lawn of the White House.””And so many people are trying to make it a partisan thing. They’re mad at people for being there.

In 1986, I joined colleagues in a long two-part look in Skeptical Inquirer about an early concern of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP): the serious astrology of consulting rooms. We asked an unusual question: Does serious astrology need to be true? The answer seemed to be no. Astrologers laughed at us. Our clients are always satisfied, they said, so nuts to you!
