Oh, so now Notre Dame is pro-choice?

My 6yo and I played the closest possible game of Sorry today. He (yellow) pulled the 3 to go out. The next card was a 1.

Really starting to feel more and more like we scientists are just rearranging deck chairs.

This was the same justification used to authorize the Juvenile Goliath Grouper harvest, too. That one just never made it to court where they had to admit it publicly.

#Florida's first bear hunt in 10 years starts today (despite science saying no hunt should take place). These people won permits to hunt -- but say they won't use them. www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

Exclusive: Woman detained by feds in Keys says she was following agents’ orders “This is not the America that I grew up in, and this is not the America that we represent.”

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

My column this week points out that this #Florida bear hunt flies in the face of science, but the FWC says it doesn't have to follow science. floridaphoenix.com/2025/12/04/f...

A Florida bear hunt is a sad and pathetic thing. It's a blight on the wildlife commission that approved it and lied about bear populations in the state, which are on the decline due to massive and unwise clearcutting for development. DeSantis and the Repubs in charge are sacks of shit.

Can confirm. Targeting sunfish is a lot of fun, especially with kids.

Travel from the comfort of your own home this #25DaysofFishmas as we explore fishes from all across the US each day in December. Best part? No sleeping on air mattresses in guest rooms!

Randy Maggard bill seeks full state control over water quality and wetlands regulation Working closely with our federal, state and regional partners is essential to ensuring clean, healthy water for every community.

One of the dumbest #Florida legislators ever elected, Rep. Randy Maggard, is trying again to eliminate all local govt regulations protecting wetlands and water quality, even though the state is doing an abysmal job. floridapolitics.com/archives/766...

It's that guy again? I knew this all sounded familiar.

So, subsides still. Now just send them to the people and let them pay instead of paying insurance companies directly. Good plan.

Oh David, you bout to make some googans real mad!

TBF, the authors do acknowledge that, "A limitation of global studies such as this is that there may be local situations which contradict the general trend," and if there's anywhere that contradicts the general trend it would be the Gulf of Mexico.

Laughs in Gulf of Mexico.

Oof.

We did. Now we are wondering why you would repost this today?

Well that is odd. They are totally passing it off as real, wtf?

May want to check the date that thread was published.

Thinking about all of my US colleagues today that work for USGS, USFWS, US Parks Service, NOAA and the EPA. From front line environmental practitioners to scientists and policy makers, these folks ensure that waters are swimmable, fish are edible, that natural areas are accessible, etc, etc, etc.

Basically, their effort to portray Autism as preventable and curable is part of a larger project to eliminate anyone they see as costing society more than they contribute. And, short of that, to push those costs fully onto families and off of the state.

People, be more careful of your use of conjunctions! For example, "Stealing is bad, but the people who worked at the store were mean," suggests exception to the prior clause, while "Stealing is bad, and the store smelled like wet feet" adds information while retaining the meaning of both clauses.

We need more people reading The Monkey Wrench Gang.

Gee whiz, an ad hominem attack, sure sign that you're winning. Keep it up bud!

Watch any other video of a large adult sea lion on land and then let me know if you still think this is real. My skepticism is rooted in biology.
