If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

So weird how this keeps happening.

That's a type of spider crab that's called a decorator, or masking crab. These crabs have spiky carapaces and they pull stuff like algae or anemones off a rock then hold them on their backs until it sticks there.
