This bears repeating.

Dr. Casey Means is not eligible for the position as Surgeon General. The position requires experience in public health programs & entry into regular corps. She has done neither.

You can take action by sending a letter to your senator.

Ever Wanted To Know What It Smelled Like Before Getting Eaten By A T. Rex? Good News – You Can! London’s Natural History Museum had to swap out T. rex breath for “Maastrichtian Miasma” because it was too disgusting.

I spoke to @rachaelhfunnell.bsky.social yesterday about making synthetic T. rex breath for Sue’s exhibit!

Was Bridgerton Season 4 setting up Queen Charlotte Season 2? | The Mary Sue Here's what we know about Queen Charlotte and other prequels and spinoffs in the Bridgerton universe after Season 4 on Netflix

Would love a S2. Queen Charlotte is Bridgerton at its best (followed by S2). Why did it feel like ‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 was teasing ‘Queen Charlotte’ Season 2? www.themarysue.com/why-did-it-f...

Public pressure and threat of impeachment helped get Noem out. This is why we are pushing for impeachment of RFK, because that kind of pressure works.

Baby tapir getting scritches for their itches.

If you want to scritch your very own tapir & you live outside of Central or South America or SE Asia, you'll need to visit a zoo.
