1.6 billion years old water found at the bottom of the Kidde Creek mine in Timmins Ontario by Canadian geologist Barbara Sherwood Lollar.
“He said, ‘Our mass spectrometer is broken. This can’t be right.’ ” lol
It takes an hour to get to the bottom of the mine, 2,377 m.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Dale Spender's study in 1980 found when women made up about 17% of a room, men assessed the gender balance as equal. And when women spoke 30% of the time, men assessed that women dominated the conversation

I think about this in relation to so much these days

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts -- paid for by cuts to health care for millions of people. Every lie Trump and Republicans tell about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this. Know the truth.
