Dinosaurs like Diplodocus may have been as colourful as birds
Skin fossils from a sauropod dinosaur examined with an electron microscope feature structures called melanosomes, which are similar to those that create the bright colours in birds' feathers

Nothing “the president” does can be illegal. By extension, if he orders it it is not.

The @modbee.com worte a decent factual accounting of the last California Great Flood that started with an atmospheric river OTD in 1861 and continued raining for 40 days in a row. Nearly 37” of rain fell in Sacramento. My nitpicks of article below:

Storms once sunk Sacramento under 10 feet of water. ‘An inland sea’
The Great Flood killed 4,000 people in the 1860s and caused $3.2 billion of damage in modern dollars.

Technology can be helpful and fun. But these billionaire tech bros are out of their damned minds. All they really care about is making as much $ as fast as possible and I bet this jackass has never changed a diaper.

Altman said basically the same weird thing about electrons a week ago. Suggests there might be some weird text/group these guys are pulling from.
In the bottom 0.1% of the massive mountain of errors, broken arguments and cotton-brained ignorance at play in this classic Yglesias work, but when you generate electricity, you aren't "making electrons", you are pushing them around!!!!!

China this year has already run an annual trade surplus with the world exceeding $1 trillion for the first time. Their exports have been growing 3x faster than global trade. That kind of growth can’t happen without factories elsewhere closing down.

Author's note for poem ☝🏾
It is written about Harriet Jacobs's 1861 "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl", where she writes of her confinement:
"I lived in that little dismal hole… for nearly 7 years. My body still suffers from the effects of that long imprisonment, to say nothing of my soul."

The fact the police are investigating Reform over alleged election overspend is potentially far more serious than you might imagine. If found guilty it could actually lead to a VOID election. Farage could lose his seat and be barred from office for 3 years and a by election could be called! 🤞
