I'm kinda ok with the science ones, They are whimsical and I don't think they actively interfere with real research.

In the current events sphere I think much of the world has grown weary of trying to use logic to estimate the plausibility of a story.

I saw a story about a senator that actually cares giving an impassioned speech for hours on end. Remember the times when that actually happened.

You are talking about the Cory Booker speech? I don't see any indication that this is an April fool's joke if that's what you're implying. Otherwise I don't understand what you mean.

I am implying when are living in times where you can't tell if something is a joke or not based upon how much sense it makes.

I guess I just generated another example. Although it was kind of intended as irony.

Why would it be a joke?

I'm a bit confused... Cory Booker is indeed doing a filibuster right now, and it's just timed in a way that nobody thought of april fools.
