Scientific Shot of a Peacock mantis shrimp eyes which are the most advanced in the animal world. Photo by Daniel Sasse.
the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.
humans have 3.
we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.
the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

I think more than what was going on with Epstein with him raping kids , we need to know why the US was protecting him.

The Iran war must be going so badly for the US that there are zero videos or photos of it from American official social media channels. I also heard tiktok and youtube are infested with imperial propaganda videos calling how the US has already won, lol.

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark Americaβs birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, weβre getting screwed and heβs getting rich.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

People run for cover in Tel Aviv as missiles come from Lebanon -APNEWS
This was all a ruse for the Mad Man of The Middle East to start a new war with Lebanon. He knew they would shoot a few rockets at Tel Aviv and it would allow him to do a full scale invasion of Lebanon and a another land grab.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

Just overheard in the blue room, where a customer was observing how many very full bookcases we have:
"This is the best ten-pounds-of-s***-in-a-five-pound-bag job I've ever seen."
Why, thank you π We do indeed have 48,000 books in 2700sq.ft., and I'm over here trying to figure out how to add more.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say βSend meβ wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didnβt back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

Folks, we still have troops in DC. They never left. What are they doing here? Being intimating bullies over people doing their ordinary things in public spaces. Thatβs the whole point of them & why Trump is squandering your money on them.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.
We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.
