This is a nice plate of crinoids I picked up unprepped at a fossil show for $8. It was in a "junk box" and I could only see 2 of the 4 crinoids.
It turned out pretty nice.
It's from the Mississippian Gilmore City Fm. of Iowa. Four unique species of crinoids.

Went to the conservatory just to get out of the house and try to take my mind of things.
Truthfully, it did no such thing.
But it was still probably good to have a change of scenery while dwelling on the awful.

Thousands of fish nests accidentally found under Antarctic ice

There is so much honest coverage of real news as we live it.
There is no need to spread BS.
It is more effective to share the truth and keep credibility.
I am angry too. I am angry at the same people you are.
Telling the truth about the things they say and do is the best way to win the public.

You know sometimes I get into debates and forget I'm supposed to be debating against war. Then someone comes along and derails the whole topic. Europeans are awesome people, your leadership however has made it impossible to fight the U.S at least until the next decade. I'm sorry, tis how it is.

ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!"

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Everyone hates a hypocrite. Dante called them “sheer filth.” Rousseau saw “a corpse, without fire, or warmth, or vitality left.” Arendt said they’re “rotten to the core.” But Michael Hallsworth warns our obsession with calling it out can backfire: “What matters is the reaction.”
Our Obsession with Hypocrisy Is Making Things Worse

Into a dark wood, wonderfully wild.
High hills all around, below a grove of oaks,
Huge and hoary, more than a hundred
Hazel and hawthorn were tangled together there,
And everywhere rough mounds of hairy moss..

2025 was supposed to be the Year of the A.I. Agent. According to @garymarcus.bsky.social, however, AI agents have been a dud. "They’re building clumsy tools on top of clumsy tools," the author of "Taming Silicon Valley" told Cal Newport for the @newyorker.com:
Why A.I. Didn’t Transform Our Lives in 2025
This was supposed to be the year when autonomous agents took over everyday tasks. The tech industry overpromised and underdelivered.

Stemonitis slime mold aka Chocolate Tube Slime Mold. This one is part way through the maturation process. In a matter of hours, this will have turned brown, eventually becoming fluffy and blowing away in the wind or dispersing by way of rain drops, or other disturbances. NWT, Canada.
