Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand.

Yesssss, Shirley! If you get a chance, watch her biopic on Netflix starring Regina King. It is incredible.
In 1972, Shirley Chisholm declared her candidacy for POTUS, shattering barriers as the first woman & African American to seek the nomination of a major political party.
Her #CupOfJoe was 'Unbought and Unbossed’, something we could use more of.

According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, that $2k a person payout that Trump is bragging about, could merely refer to tax savings under Trump’s signature domestic spending measure.
So don’t hold your breath waiting for a $2k check from this administration.
