The last line of the Wikipedia entry on this story is priceless:

"In 1988, when Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania, he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo."
an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously

when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint

the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

Only four teams received votes to be MLB champions in our staff poll — and the top-two vote-getters do not include last year’s World Series teams.

Warning... the entire TRENDING feed on my BSKY is relevant, important news. There is no mention of crackers, or barrels, no re-alived presidents or even a sportsball team... BSKY is busy. To recap. Susan Collins is doine. Joni Ernst is done. National Guard not going to Chicago. Space Command?

Kyle Schwarber is a hero.

He hit four homeruns for the Phillies in one game tonight.

He's a racial equality activist and pro-COVID vaccination.

Kyle Schwarber is as American as they come and he would never show up to the White House to meet you, Trump.

So don't invite him.
