Magical creatures don’t exist, eh? Roughly 400 million years ago, before the birth of trees, there were giant mystery cones called “Prototaxites,” which grew nearly 30 feet tall. We literally have no idea what they were. Plant: no Mushroom: no Animal: no Tell me this isn’t a little bit magic

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/u...

Many are wearing camouflage clothing, and some are holding flags, including a red flag with a yellow sun and a blue flag with white symbols. The group appears to be celebrating or protesting, with raised arms and a helicopter visible in the sky.

The scent itself comes from a mixture of oils released by plants during dry periods and a compound called geosmin, produced by microorganisms living in the soil. When raindrops strike the ground, tiny air bubbles trap these compounds and release them into the air as microscopic droplets.
