The beautiful preservstion of trilobite compound eyes will never cease to amaze me. On this little 400ish million year old Phacops you can see all the little lenses - each one a rigid calcite mineral crystal! Together they had excellent 360° vision, perfect for finding lunch on the seafloor.

OMG

This seems highly illegal. And if it somehow is allowed to continue, why would anyone else enter into any sort agreement with this administration?

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Dem leadership should be telling everyone that this is the talking point.

A huge win! The Senate voted unanimously early this morning to fund the Department of Homeland Security but without funding for ICE or Border Patrol deportation and enforcement operations.

The data is real. All CDC verified. The bottom 8 states for life expectancy are red. The top 8 are blue. Policy choices have consequences — and some of them are life and death. 📊

Trump: I used a mail in ballot. You know why? Because I'm President of the United States, I did a mail in ballot for Florida because I felt I should be here. Reporter: But you were in Palm Beach

'John Brennan's days as a free man are numbered': CPAC speaker #AlterNet

There's no mention in this piece that this violates federal law. It ends with an implication that Trump can do this all on his own: "It’s unclear when exactly Trump will sign the order or how long it will take for workers to get paid as a result of the president’s intervention."

The military attacked another boat accused of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean. At least 163 people have so far been killed in US boat bombings. Remember: No judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is a danger to us all.

That’s the amazing Chris Murphy of Connecticut. A true leader and an important voice in the fight to save our democracy.

😕💰

If USPS is about to go broke, why are they wasting money on TV ads? Oh, wait. I forgot the goal of Project 2025 is to bankrupt it and privatize it or sell it for parts.

By the way, it has been 3 months since the justice department was supposed to release the full unredacted Epstein files. Thank you for your attention. RH

3 antichrists walk into a bar...

This is probably the least surprising piece of news ever.

Great job, Republicans.

Trump 2028? 🙄 He’ll be lucky to finish 2026.

The 2026 midterm elections won't be the first time Americans have had to deal with Nazis trying to intimidate them at polling stations. 😳👇

“.. It’s déjà vu all over again,” said Mansoor, who was a brigade commander in Iraq .. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Senator Chris Murphy, "The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war began" "We are now seeking to solve a problem that we created" "This is insanity"

🚨BREAKING: In a major upset, Democrat Emily Gregory has flipped a Republican-held Florida state House district that includes Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

So much for the US Constitution...

🇬🇧 WATCH: “CORRUPTION OF THE VERY WORST KIND.” UK politicians point out the obvious insider trading where people (likely close to Trump) are getting rich off of Trump’s posts about the war. And nobody will investigate. Trump’s golden age of corruption. He is the swamp.

Fancy that. A gas station. Where no car is tanking gas - but the EV chargring units are fully occupied. The stone age didn’t end because we ran out of stones – and the fossil‑fuel age won’t end because we run out of oil. It will end because better, more reliable technologies take over.

I got the rejection email today. I didn't have any luck with the Australian Geographic photo comp this year. No need for sympathy. I'm used to it. It's very competitive. Here's one of my unsuccessful entries. A yellow-tailed rock wallaby at Boolcoomatta Reserve.

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Dept.-Kinda sounds like he's admitting he interfered in the election with VERY specific statistics. I quit Twitter because he bought it, way before his confession he stole the election for the Orange Atrocity. 🍊💩 Now I'm SURE I made the right decision! 👍

FWIW Today: In the Bizzaro land of Trumplandia. Trump seeks to end voting by mail. YET Trump votes by mail, in Florida elections !!!!!!!!!!

Rod Serling was warning way back when about the rise of white "christian" nationalism. Maybe kids should've been forced to watched repeats of this show on rainy weekends inside like my generation did back before (waves arms) all of this. "Twilight Zone." "He's Alive." www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVfp...

Don’t blame me— I left them both! “Jeff Bezos’ The WaPo saw the largest print circulation decline among the top 25 newspapers, plunging some 21% last year, followed by Patrick Soon-Shiong’s Los Angeles Times, dropping 20%.” open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

Electric cars don't work. They need new batteries every 3 years. They can't go off-road, bla bla bla. Here are the wheels of the Curiosity rover. It's been driving around the surface of Mars for almost fourteen years now on its original battery. Zero warjuice. Zero servicing. Just saying...

What he says...

Chad Bianco is polling No 2 in the CA governor’s race and loves to talk about “waste, fraud, and abuse.” In 2023 - total compensation as Riverside sheriff was $593,518, a huge leap over his predecessor’s salary and much higher than the current governor’s salary. Does waste include his bloated pay?

The fact that military officials can’t give the President of the United States an honest assessment of the war in Iran—and have to placate him by showing him videos of stuff blowing up—should be concerning to everyone.

“Why is the Strait of Hormuz not open if we’ve won?” Watching @adammockler.com dog-walk 🐕 Scott Jennings never gets old. (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
