We know there were dog-sized dragonfly ancestors in the Permian, but one of the interesting puzzles in paleobiology is WHY? Or, more importantly, what's keeping modern mosquitoes and cockroaches from growing to similar sizes (and how can we ensure it stays that way)?

ECONOMIC BLACKOUT STARTING FEBRUARY 28, 2025! BOYCOTT ‼️

The best evidence that buying the press pays off.

The last time I listened to KDHX, which was last summer, they were playing R. Kelly, so I don't care that they are gone.

Billionaire oligarchs likely use public transit less than any other group. Prepare to see it disappear.

Trader Joe's, McDonald's, Target & other companies have betrayed consumers with their racist or anti-labor positions. If anything like a boycott against any of these companies happens, Trump's tariff policy will do them much more damage. If u go to T.J.'s look to see where their stuff comes from.

The contrast in prices between healthy and unhealthy foods all the more pronounced as less healthy food is artificially cheap, through hidden costs of externalities like healthcare, lost income and environmental damage, and using cheap, nutritionally-poor ingredients. Cheap food isn't cheap.

The Trump administration instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing HIV medications purchased with U.S. aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are sitting in local clinics. Read more: nyti.ms/4hvI8s0

Imagine pissing off the Quakers

As seen on a sign on a storefront on the nearby avenue...' Coming soon- Akbar & Jeff's A.I. Hut".

It is painful to consider how degraded the world view of the U.S. has become only in the past three weeks. I don't think we can ever recover from this.

Stop hate.

New name just dropped: the Swasticar

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models. We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

It's been cold most days, for weeks now. All these layers that I'm walking around in. The hardest part is everytime I go to the bathroom, when I'm done , it's another 10 minutes collating all the layers back into place.

Nazis and Oligarchs teaming up, it had to happen someday.

I haven't been on the bike for 2 weeks, since it snowed. St.L. only plows and salts a few main streets and it is really not safe to walk, much less ride until it gets warm enough to melt off.

Remember all those drones?

The sidewalk is buried under about 5 feet here. This is why you see people walking in the street. Snow plow operators do this everywhere in St. Louis.

Of the books that I partially read last year, but didn't finish...what pile do they go in?

"Love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other's light. Lifesaving in those moments when life and shame and sorrow occlude our own light from our view, but there is still a clear-eyed loving person to beam it back." — James Baldwin 🌱📷
