A 10 year-old boy from Japan discovered that butterflies can remember their time as caterpillars.
Jo Nagai noticed his caterpillars still loved him after turning into butterflies, and the affection he had for them led to a genuine scientific discovery.
Have been a member of the @whca almost continuously since the 1990s. Our mission is to defend the First Amendment rights of White House correspondents to report on the president without fear or favor. Unfortunately last night did not advance that cause. Time to rethink the dinner.
This isn’t making enough news.
Cities and states are suing oil companies, alleging they knew about climate dangers and hid them. Those cases go before federal judges.
Meanwhile, a center at George Mason University’s Scalia School of Law has been hosting expense-paid seminars for those same federal judges.
Who funds the center?
ExxonMobil, the Charles Koch Foundation, and others connected to the very companies being sued.
The center even told a funder its goal was giving judges “skepticism” about the science behind the lawsuits they hear.
Who spoke at these closed-door seminars? Chris Wright, then a fracking CEO, now Trump’s Energy Secretary, sharing his skepticism about climate change. His own company was suing the government over climate rules at the time.
So, imagine you’re a referee in a championship game. Before the game, one of the teams pays for you to attend a fancy retreat where their coach explains why the other team’s strategy is illegitimate. Would anyone trust your calls?
That’s essentially what’s happening here.

Emotionally unstable man goes on paranoid, babbling rant.
Somewhere in that suit, he has a small card with the codes to 1500 strategic nuclear weapons.
@cyclist@robyn_emz 100% it will be bad for the sport if Seixas joins UAE. And yet, it's entirely understandable for athletes to want (and need!) to maximize their financial earnings. Which Seixas will we get? I surely hope another (preferably French) squad can assemble the finances he deserves!
@SpencerHakimian Don't forget to shove a light bulb up the arse, also. Unless the crucial "lightbulb up the arse" component is observed, bleach will be insufficient.
Here is the name of every senator that should be voted out after this unprecedented and abhorrent vote. They favor a foreign mining companies over our own country. There is a bullseye on all public lands by greedy capitalists starting today #VoteThemOut
Copper-sulfide mining in the Superior National Forest watershed risks acid mine drainage: sulfides exposed to air and water generate sulfuric acid, leaching heavy metals (copper, nickel, arsenic, mercury, lead) into groundwater, streams, and lakes.
The Boundary Waters' interconnected hydrology means contamination could spread across millions of acres, harming fish populations, wild rice beds, aquatic habitats, and biodiversity. Peer-reviewed studies and records from U.S./Canadian sulfide mines show near-100% rates of water quality impacts, with effects potentially lasting centuries. Modern techniques may reduce but not eliminate risks in this pristine area.
@SenThomTillis
I called your office 3 times to express opposition to House Joint Resolution 140 (Boundary Waters Act) but each time the phone system hung and went silent during transfer to VM, and then disconnected me. I filled out a web notification form.
