From Jay Storz, the biologist who found mice at altitudes where no mammals had previously been known to live:

“It just boggles the mind that any kind of animal, let alone a warm-blooded mammal, could be surviving and functioning in that environment. When you experience it all firsthand, it even further impresses upon you: How in God’s name is anything living up there?”

Trump just filed his opening brief in the immunity appeal in DC circuit court of appeal.

It's late but I just had to start reading (morbid curiosity)

Paragraph #1: He tells the court that if he can be indicted there will be no end to it. Presidents will be indicted for decades! It will be a parade of horribles!

(Assumption: This is a purely political.)

#2 is the doozy.
Basically, Dear Court: You have no power to sit in judgment of MEEEE.

It's laughably absurd.

Florida State mentions Maryland's exit of ACC as having relevant info that could help FSU. In 2012, Maryland said it was leaving ACC & found a way to negotiate what the ACC said was a $52.2 million exit fee down to $31.3 million.

David Ashburn, Florida State's legal counsel, said for Seminoles to withdraw from ACC would cost $572 million

"The families have filed their own proposal seeking to liquidate nearly all of #AlexJones’ assets, including his media company Free Speech Systems, and give the proceeds to them and other creditors.

"The families’ plan would set up a trust that would liquidate nearly all of Jones’ assets, except his primary home and other holdings considered exempt from sale under bankruptcy laws."

WELKER: Grassley said he does not see any evidence that the president is guilty of anything. Do you agree with him?

If I had my druthers #Giuliani coverage would be more interested in why it might have been worth it to him to risk a massive verdict to hide from his discovery obligations.

Lemme get this straight, #SCOTUS will actually debate whether a #POTUS is allowed to break laws.

What kind of judiciary would ever say, "sure, go ahead, our laws mean absolutely nothing?"

Remembering the time my friend wanted to show me pictures of her dog. She handed me her phone and said "just keep swiping right." I knew when to stop when I got to her boyfriend's arcing erection. I said nothing and handed the phone back.

Right-wing trolls are signing up to Threads en masse because they never actually wanted a right-wing platform; they wanted a stage to provoke progressives. Without the left to rile up, X as an echo chamber is losing its charm.

I mean, what are they going to do. Talk to each other?
