I am always happy to be here for a info dump on long extinct critters!
ZOMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHALE
Okay, so the Burgess Shale is a fossil bed in British Columbia that contains a whole bunch of fossils of weirdass creatures from the Cambrian era, over 500 million years ago. But the great thing about the shale is that it has fossilized SOFT PARTS!

Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

If a judge orders you to release funds for hungry children and you continue to fight it, it’s time to take a step back and re-evaluate how you got there. No political leverage is worth corrupting your soul.

Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare.
If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call!
Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

Firstly, billionaires are not physically made of stocks, if a billionaire falls down a hole and expires his stock portfolio persists and continues to have value, secondarily, this is why one diversifies one's investment portfolio outside of the stock market, thirdly, okay, let's test this hypothesis

We promised to campaign the way we want to govern.
That’s why we’re launching a statewide food drive to support the 1.4 million Georgians losing SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

I have multiple Aunts and Uncles who are not remotely related to me by blood. Do these people not HAVE relationships with other humans?
My Black behind can name four different people I grew up calling "aunt" or "uncle" that I have absolutely no relation to. There's about a dozen kids who call me "uncle" or "unc" that I have no blood relation to.
This is ridiculous.
This is ridiculous.
Wait, are people really upset that Mamdani spoke about his “aunt,” and it was actually his father’s cousin and not his father’s sibling?
Because that is an extremely normal thing a lot of cultures do. Including a lot of large Jewish families!
