Here is an absolutely beautiful regular sea urchin known as Desoricidaris pouyannei. This specimen comes from the Lower Cretaceous (Cenomanian) rocks of Taouz, Morocco. The preservation of the test (body) is absolutely stunning even after 100 mya!

Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.

Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.

Remember this as Disney turns to AI.
Bob Iger says Disney+ will soon have AI-generated short form content from users

If by “illegal aliens” you mean Private equity, who went and bought up a huge chunk of the housing supply and inflated their values, then yes. “Illegal aliens.”
HUD Secretary Scott Turner: "I want to get to the root: over 12 million illegal aliens came into our country, which has put a great strain on our housing supply and affordability."

The DOT also reportedly plans to rescind requirements that airlines disclose junk fees. It's also planning to redefine what flight cancellations would require refunds for passengers.

Both Delta and United gave $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund.

Everything is for sale.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is officially withdrawing a Biden-era plan to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by the airlines.

Is the fact that Trump potentially blew Bill Clinton, with photographic evidence, giving off the same energy as that episode of South Park where cartman put butters wiener in his mouth?

If Dems are in “the files,” then they should be prosecuted too. I don’t give a damn how important they are, how much money they have, or what their politics are. If they are in there, PROSECUTE THEM!!

It's not complicated. All we want is equal justice. NO ONE is above the law. ⚖️

So the DOJ is suing California for redrawing their districts but haven’t said a word to Texas Missouri or North Carolina for doing the fucking exact thing! How much more corruption can the American people handle before we lose all faith in the federal government and future administrations?

This is genuinely gross. As someone who sometimes misses my husband more than anything, grief and loss are a natural part of life. We all have to walk that gauntlet at one point.
This feels like a result of people failing to grow TF up. It hurts, it sucks, it’s misery but we all go through it.

They’ve never designated the KKK as a terrorist organization. But “antifa”… sure. I guess a fascist would want to make them a terrorist organization.
haven't seen a single congressional Democrat comment on the Trump administration's unprecedented designation of Antifa as foreign terror orgs

Love the use of “could.” As we’re seeing people are willing to twist themselves into pretzels to make it okay.
Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.
