About 25 years ago, maybe longer, I found this rock in the woods near Park City, Ky. I believe it's sandstone, but it has lots of little inclusions in it which I believe are #Fossils. Do any #Geologists on here have any idea what they could be?

Sandstone rock with possible fossil inclusions. Looks like concretions but there seem to be some kind of structure in the inclusions.

Awesome place. I vis there in 1979. Sadly all the slides I took turned red and unviewable.

None of my ancestors arrived in the USA until the late 1800’s, well after the civil war. I guess, according to Vance, that means I’m not an American.

Fuck republicans and their xenophobic party.

I’m watching #Babylon5 S3E5 Voices of Authority and I want to know how in the heck JMS traveled 29 years into the future for story ideas when he was writing this episode.

Dang.

I’ve been thinking. I bet there was #asbestos in there, based on when it was built. Did they bother to remove it before the demolition or just tear into it and spread the dust everywhere?

What, are people incapable of breaking spaghetti past in half now? I mean, it doesn't take strength or intelligence to break it in half.

So why?

A box of thin spaghetti that is "pot sized" instead of the standard length.

Yeah, they’re not trying to salvage anything, not even for historical reasons.

And Thursday's Mole Day too!

Alt: A mole in a lab coat at a desk with assorted chemistry equipment. The mole mixes two things together and an explosion happens with pretty purple and blue debris and stars.

What the heck is Mike Johnson on/smoking (and the rest of the DC cronies) to even think things like this? Is he trying to display his ignorance, since he certainly can't display any intelligence.

My column from Monday. What do you call it when a mostly-white group of politicians who spent the last few decades opening the floodgates to firearms in Alabama attack a majority-Black city over gun violence?

Well, you certainly don’t call it sincere.

It's hard to believe that officials scolding Montgomery really care about violence when they've flooded the state with guns.

A photo from a Mexico trip almost 2 decades ago. I believe this isn't far from Tulum.

Mikey Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is just practice for when Dems win the midterms. He'll adjourn the house and not seat them.

We FINALLY have a non-cluttered room! The pile of junk and other items, plus the two flammable cabinets and the corrosives cabinet were finally removed during fall break last week.

What a relief to be able to use our room as intended! Although we still need whiteboards put up.

Before and after. Our 3D printing room before the flammable cabinets, old computers, and other "inherited" junk was removed.

Afterwards the room looks much less cluttered and larger. The orange ladder on the right in the second photo was borrowed and has been removed.

Yeah.
