Fauna can wade through some deep water or tall weeds.

Yellow dog with black trim on nose and ears with a black spot on her forehead snoozing on a wood floor. Her right back foot is under her. What you can see of the leg appears to line up with her left front leg, making it appear her back leg is very long.

Surely someone on here can identify that agent. His face is clear. What he did was illegal & he should be prosecuted.

Pretty smart strategy. Create an imaginary enemy, then tell everyone you're fighting hard to protect us from your imagination.

The ear bandage was pretty cool. Wearing diapers on the outside of your clothes in solidarity with Chickenfoot's incontinence was, too. Seems someone is missing a business opportunity: trump supporter kit with diaper, tacky shoes, ear gauze. Any suggestions for other items?

Loved the ear bandage. Folded over gauze, (fitted by someone stingy with gauze) with SCOTCH TAPE!

Kirk was literally a drop out, cosplaying a college student. Being paid $8M to do so, by Peter Theil, because he looked the part of a college student. For the clicks(tm)!

Kristol might have been a shithead but he wasn't perving coeds on college campuses. Pizzagate was a confession, folks.

Imagine a liberal saying Kirk’s sin was being too slow. “Conservatives need to work on their agility” “you ain’t woke, you’re a slow poke” etc

1st "official" government communication I've read that basically says "we're headed for 2 degrees and we are not prepared for this"

But startlingly, doesn't rule out 4 degrees either, and I'm not sure we really understand just how catastrophic that will be.

I fear that schools being willing to drop diversity programs without a fight shows how flimsy their commitment to inclusion was in the first place. People fight for things they truly believe in.

Victor Ray, a sociology professor at the University of Iowa who studies race, said in an email that OSU’s decision to interpret federal guidance in this way “reflects the real pressure universities face as the Trump administration and Republican legislators attack higher education.”

But, Ray added, it may also be exposing the true colors of many universities that were broadcasting their commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion when it was politically expedient to do so just a few years ago.

“The swiftness with which these organizations have complied with legally dubious orders shows that their commitments to diversity were often paper-thin before this administration’s pressure,” he said. “In many cases, administrators with existing qualms about diversity, perhaps going too far, now have political cover to take anti-equitable actions.”

Let's not forget that an ICE "agent" teargassed one of the earliest frogs inside their costume. I hope someone who knows will tell us who this hero is.
