Fascinating.!

Some fossils preserve microscopic structures called melanosomes. By studying their shape and arrangement, scientists can sometimes infer the colors of ancient animals.

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

Why did take this long for them to know that Trump speaks at a level of an 8 year old child.? 🤔

No wonder we’re in the shit.

Patterns of life connect us in ways we have yet to fully understand but we feel it. Connected.!

A really nice example of a Dolatocrinus calyx from the Devonian Thunder Bay limestone of Alpena. The stem would have connected in the center of the star and the arms would have attached on the U shaped bumps on the left pic.

This shows the 5 point symmetry common in most echinoderms.

We had a broadband outage (for the whole area) for several hours today. Grateful that at present none of our critical things like hot water, heating, washing machine etc don't need WiFi to function.

Too adorable for words…

What stick? 🙈

Bill Clinton gets emotional when talking about his friendship with Rev. Jesse Jackson at the memorial service:

"I'm here more as a friend than a former president. He was my friend when I needed it. And I ask you to ask yourself how you can do more by being a better friend and a more effective one."

We are in a time of unprecedented confusion and instability.
But there is one thing I can guarantee.
As the costs of this illegal war spiral out of control, raising taxes on the wealthy will never even be considered in DC.
They will take crumbs from orphans before they dare suggest taxing the rich.

UNFOLDING If there is no spirit unfolding itself in history, No gradual growth of consciousness Beneath the land grabs and forced migrations, The bought elections, the betrayal of trust By party faction in the name of progress- What about spirit in the personal realm Unfolding slowly inside us, so slowly That our best days seem like a holding action? Seasons repeat themselves, but the tree Shading the yard keeps growing. Don't be chagrined that the sadness you felt This evening beside the bed of a friend Who's growing weaker wasn't more profound Than the sadness of yesterday, that you still Can't imagine a fraction of what he's feeling As the world he loves slips from his grasp. No progress from your perspective, But who's to say what you might notice If the scroll of the last few months were unrolled On the table before you, how clear it might be That your your understanding of all you're losing In losing him has been slowly deepening? Another day, you say to yourself, at dusk As you climb your porch steps, which you notice Could use some scraping and painting this weekend, A fresh coat that with luck will last a year. --Carl Dennis

SO many great poems in these old issues of The New Yorker

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

Wooooboyyyyyy!!!!

Former VP Kamala Harris at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"So let me just say, I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not into saying 'I told you so' but we did see it coming."

Yes. She. Did.

What a gorgeous specimen.

You’re welcome. Happy day! 😆

Happy Friday! We made it through the week! We had a spritzy fog this morning so here is the second place coffee shop vote-getter from Monday, taken 11 minutes before the sun broke the horizon. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

This, coming from Trump’s bestie.!

Wait. They are releasing Epstein files to distract Americans from the war in Iran now?
