This is how scuzzy top trumpies are, with manta ray skin tables, which is after all an endangered species.

Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

Huh, this is a Goodeid I've never seen before. See ALT text for more. BULLDOG GOODEID Alloophorus robustus Size: Up to about 5.6 inches (143 mm SL), with reports of even larger fish Range: Central Mexico Photo by Guenther Schleussner. 🌍🐟 #TeamFish
BULLDOG GOODEID
Alloophorus robustus
Size: Up to about 5.6 inches (143 mm SL), with reports of even larger fish
Range: Mexico
Habitat: Lakes, ponds, reservoirs and slow-moving streams, often around aquatic vegetation and other cover.
The Bulldog Goodeid is one of the largest and most unusual members of the Goodeid family. With its heavy body, large mouth and powerful jaws, it certainly has a different appearance from many of the smaller livebearers we usually see in the hobby.

Zionism is racism. The United Nations voted to declare it as such in 1975, half a century ago. This isn’t new, and this isn’t controversial.

The last three months really highlight just how widespread the unusually warm sea surface temperatures are found. In addition El Niño, there are several large marine heat waves, with one of the largest departures still across the North Pacific. Data from www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/opt... 🌊
Global map showing sea surface temperature anomalies in July-August-September 2026 relative to 1982 to 2010. Most areas are warmer than average. Red is shown for warmer sea surface temperatures, and blue is shown for colder sea surface temperatures. Data is from NOAA OISSTv2.1.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Another cool find for #FossilFriday: 66 Mya, a theropod dinosaur munched on a toothed diving bird, and we know it because its feathers were preserved in the dino's 💩 #PaleoSky ⚒️🧪🦕
While some dinosaurs are thought to have had ‘fuzzy’ or ‘downy’ feathers (shown in this illustration as the yellow spikes on a Nanotyrannus’ neck), ancient birds (such as the one in the Nanotyrannus’ mouth) were more likely to have had feathers that look similar to the birds of today.

This is pretty wild... the average global sea surface temperature (outside of the polar regions) is still above 70°F (21.1°C) through the end of September. This is significantly above the prior record. We'll cover this in our October climate briefing: climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi... 🌊

What a country builds with public money is a statement of what it values. We must build for those already living through fires, floods, and extreme weather—not for the balance sheets of companies unwilling to risk their own capital on a new pipeline.

This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once. The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders. The response was to try to remove the judges. Here's why every American should be paying attention. www.jackhopkinsnow.com
