So sweet! Many years ago I looked across the yard to see my first lab puppy play bowing to what seemed like nothing. It was a bumble bee.

I know, it just tickled me that if the land could vote it wouldn't be the way they want. I understand the reasoning behind the differences between the Senate and House but think it needs to be adjusted for this reason.

If land did vote it would not be voting for the ones polluting and extracting.

Nobody's Girl tipped me to that direction for sure.

He has a much more coherent message than Fetterman had. He lobbied agains the 10 commandments in classrooms and had a really eloquent argument why he believed that as a Christian. He has consistently argued that Christian nationalism is bad for Christians.

This was one of the first things the instructor said at my first ever puppy kindergarten class. 33 years later it is still the most important thing I learned about dogs.

Just came here to say that. It showed up on Roku.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

How plate tectonics revolutionized our understanding of Earth - High Country News And how scientist Tanya Atwater was at the center of it all.

The discovery that the continents are in continuous motion is fairly recent—dating back only to the late 1960s — and one woman was responsible for decoding what it meant for California and much of the West Coast.

Perez isn't in my part of Washington but since I started paying attention to her, she hasn't voted like a Democrat.

Also they are ignoring the environmental damage from it.

I saw a post earlier today about what percentage of housing was affordable in various US cities. DC had way more affordable housing than the cities [like Seattle where I live] that are mostly driven by tech.

Yes! Three times now physical therapists have helped fix issues I had so they do not come back. If I start to get twinges, I know what to do. None of this going back for regular adjustments.

A lot of the influencers are recommending many not so cheap supplements.
