When #FossilFriday is also Black Friday, one looks for black fossils ... bonus points if they were apparently purchased from a science supplier like Wards. This on is a large specimen of Maclurites, an Ordovician taxon generally believed to be sedentary, suspension feeding gastropods.

Here is a piece of limestone with beautiful Rafinesquina trentonensis brachiopods I collected from the Upper Ordovician (Katian) in Jefferson County, Missouri. These rocks are age equivalent to the upper portion of the Cincinnatian Series. Anyone like seafood?

Reminder that all the "pardons" granted to Jan6ers whose convictions were still pending were auto-pen pardons.
Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”
He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.
(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

Part of why this stuff keeps getting underreported is that our media class can’t get it through their thick heads that this is not a weightless debate over political ideology, but a declaration of war on over 100 million Americans, which DHS is announcing an intent to eliminate

In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line:
