I'm speaking of The Great Oxidation Event... and the pivotal role of cyanobacteria.

Something I find fascinating: Beginning about 2.5 Billion years ago, a signal event (as it unfolded) brought us both sophisticated life forms and the blue in the sky and ocean; and the green in the trees and wildernesses.

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was reprimanded Wednesday by an Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier who asked him and his guests to maintain 'atmospheric silence and respect.' Hegseth, his wife Jen and some of the secretary’s top aides were taking pictures, talking and laughing in front of the tomb" https://t.co/cJI2SLZ5ED

What do you think of "Design for a Marionette" by Alexandra Exter? I'm obsessed.

NEWS: A senior member of Trump’s State Department was caught flying around the Mediterranean on a private jet paid for by Stripe billionaire Patrick Collison just one month after she was sworn in. God only knows what other favors billionaires are buying from this administration behind closed doors.

Way worse than Watergate: it looks like both Lutnick and Trump sold out the United States.

They should both resign.

In a just world they would be brought up on charges.

🚨Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz just toured “Alligator Alcatraz” and came out shaking: “It’s 34 people per cage. They drink, brush, and defecate in the same tiny unit. The photos don’t come close to the stench of it.”

We’re packing human beings into kennel conditions, then calling it justice.

Good job everyone

Been that way all year my brother. He’s playing the position, all things considered, at as high or higher a level than any QB in the game today!!

I gotta say — and it's a tough contest — but if there is one cabinet official in this administration that's maximally guilty of dirty-deeds-done-cheap for China and Russia, my money's on Howard Lutnick. He's been at it for decades.
