Wait till you hear about tortoises and turtles! IIRC The common ancestor of tortoises and turtles had already returned to the ocean once, then back to the land and then turtles went back again

I mean, one possibility is that the redacted person is under investigation and a criminal case is pending... But I doubt it sadly
Explains quite a bit
While they may be contributing a small percentage of global oil production (the US is the biggest oil producer atm iirc). The Norwegians aren't the ones burning it all.
You, sir/madam have contributed to the demand-side of the equation with just this post alone
No one likes a sycophant, Aaron. Have some self respect
Thanks for your contribution, Aaron, very insightful
Yikes! Wouldn't have thought someone, who's courage to speak truth to power I so admired would be so dismissive and judgemental, but here we are
Not sure I understand your reasoning. Life on earth will survive just as it has though every other extinction event in prehistory.
Climate change is primarily an existential risk to human life. humanity's extinction is assured if no one has any more children. Not that that's why anyone chooses to
Life shouldn't be spent in anticipation of finally being able to pick up your gaze, drop your mental baggage and live in the present
But here we are
AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

Farewell Pepper. You were ever the loyal protector of our family, big brother to Jasper and Henry, scourge of socks and table scraps. Miss you always #rip #vale
Can't claim to have coined it but the best phrasing I heard was: "It looks like Versaille threw up in there"
Except, almost everything you think you know about the Milgram experiment is wrong. eg. 58 per cent of people actually disobeyed the pushy experimenter www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...
I know it's important to listen to voices outside your own algorithmic bubble, but I couldn't take more than 60 seconds of the execrable, pompous hypocrites on Sky News 'after dark' at my in-laws' before I had to excuse myself and leave the room in silent apoplectic despair
I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.
I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Insane. It's a ceasefire, but just for your side. The other side get free reign for another 12 hours before they have their own ceasefire. Peace achieved

Who knew peace in the Middle East would be hard? Maybe Trump should send his head son-in-law over there again to "make some deals"
No. You see, this is why the billionaire class are so famous for their boundless creativity - they are unfettered by obstacles of any kind and their art just flows endlessly, delighting, intriguing and challenging us all
Almost exactly the same reason I don't post anything on LinkedIn 😉
Well, general opinion polls are one way of validating popularity with the entire potential voting body, without limiting the sample to only DNC delegates
Ok, I'd say the delegates to the 2020 DNC convention are a pretty good proxy for that particular herd of cats
Explain to you why the DNC establishment didn't vote overwhelmingly for one of their biggest critics?
