Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

"So that I have 6 weeks more to enjoy geologizing over these curious mountains" Charles Darwin in a letter dated to April 18, 1835, over his field-trip in the Chilean Andes ⛰️ Darwin's field drawings and later published profile in "Geological Observations on South America" (1846)

April 9, 1799, birthday of Mary Ann Mantell née Woodhouse. Together with her husband Gideon Algernon Mantell she discovered in 1821-22 the first tooth of an herbivorous dinosaur - Iguanodon. She also illustrated the discovery (like other geological works published by her husband).

She's a great cartoonist

Abundant Eocene fossils of plants and animals are found in the Green River Formation of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. This fossil Pseudosalix Hanleyi, with stems, leaves and flowers preserved, is harder to find than a T-rex tooth!

Congratulations to Donald Trump for having the largest US protest in history today comprised solely of people who hate him!

Well done. #NoKings

Republicans be like, "we can't impeach Trump because he's the only thing holding our party together". My brothers, if Trump is what's holding you together, then you deserve to fail.

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

Titanus giganteus is the world's largest beetle! They can grow up to 7 inches long and are native to tropical forests in South America.

Pegmatite is a type of igneus rock that frequently contains large crystals of quartz, feldspar, or mica. When looked at with a longwave UV flashlight, these minerals seem to glow! Kids at our museum can see this for themselves up close and personal.

It's been 3 months since the Justice Department was supposed to release the full, unredacted Epstein files.

Oh. Stage an assassination attempt, you say? Interesting.

finished embroidering my jacket :)

Oh, I see the problem. When he said Release the Epstein Files and No New Wars, he meant No New Epstein Files and Release the Wars. Honest mistake.

The President who demanded a Nobel Peace Prize for himself sure gave up negotiations quickly to start a war with Iran. What a disaster, Americans don't want another war in the middle east.

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

Why are there so many of these

Then what happened?

THIS.

Has the pedophile currently squatting in the White House blame President Biden yet for the war he needlessly started? You know he will.

I still can’t believe that people voted for criminals, because they were afraid to vote for educated professional qualified women.

Hi. I've never met Jeffrey Epstein. So, when will I have to appear before The Committee to testify?

Hillary Clinton never even met Jeffrey Epstein, but was forced to testify about him. #CoverUp
