I think it means you're a millennial who watched PBS (Barney the dinosaur sang about this a LOT in the 90s).

I haven't lived there in awhile, but Alexandria, Virginia, ticks a lot of these boxes.

A beautiful male Atlas moth on the edge of the Singapore suburbs. This male is starting to look a little worn out. The largest moth in the world burns brightly but the brightest flames burn fast. A male has about 2 weeks of life to pass on his genes.

When my class went on a trip to the Field Museum in Chicago, we learned that the unique smell that pervades the entire place is, in fact, moth balls. Horrifying!

As a Cubs fan, I'm just pleased the lengths teams are willing to go to avoid hiring David Ross.

A native tree would be ideal, but if it's between these two, I'd go with the ash (native to Mexico).

That's annoying (though, if it helps, the tenants almost certainly brought both in, if you didn't have them before). Lmk if you want any clothing moth tips, we finally defeated ours this year.

In the early aughts, one of my friends made memes for a very popular meme site. He drew one lightly poking fun at Campbell's, which, unbeknownst to him, was a sponsor of the site, and got fired the next day.

Don't fuck with Campbell's, folks.

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

I was at the the No Kings march in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Many elderly or disabled folks who couldn’t make it to Manhattan, but also young families and people of all ages. I stood in the same spot for more than an hour and the stream of protesters was constant. Amazing turnout.

I drove by a nursing home this morning and the residents were outside protesting. They couldn’t make it to No Kings but wanted to show their support.

Respect.

The fact they could get that many New Yorkers to willingly go to Times Square just shows the severity of this situation.

Pritzker's here. Right in the middle of the crowd carrying the lead banner. Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton too.

Event staff getting pissed at media who won't clear out from the march route as everyone gets their obligatory Pritzker shots.

Thousands of people gathered in Grant Park for No Kings speeches at the Petrillo stage. Not gonna try to guess how many zeros on that number right now.
