Aggressively, almost religiously, following the data. I like nothing better than being proved wrong. Means I'm learning. Bring evidence.

Doing some repairs on the cargo shorts that got me through movies in the early 2000s

Old cargo shorts with fireworks stitching reshaping the mushed pockets. Laid over my legs in repaired jeans on the front porch

This is what's wrong with America. That spot at Harvard could have uplifted a poor kid who worked hard and instead it went to a narcissistic addict from a "good" family. Absurd

By the time he was accepted into Harvard (his father, his uncles, and his grandfather had all gone there), he had been pushed out of multiple boarding schools, been arrested for marijuana possession, and become estranged from his mother. When he was still a teenager, he hopped trains to Haight-Ashbury, in San Francisco, to hang with the hippies, and worked in a Colorado lumber camp. His heroin addiction would last 14 years,

Mars may want our women, but look who wants our seniors!

A Mediterranean scene with the caption, "wanted:seniors for Portugal". It's almost certainly not asking people to kidnap seniors.

Dear Mr. Bedell,

Thank you for reaching out to my office to share your thoughts and concerns regarding vaccines. I truly appreciate your engagement and the opportunity to hear from you.

I believe that healthcare providers and policymakers have a shared responsibility to engage on major health issues, including bringing attention to public health and prevention issues and supporting federal policies that result in improved overall health for citizens across the United States. This includes providing accurate information about vaccine safety and efficacy, as well as creating guidelines to make vaccines readily accessible to the public.

Before serving in Congress, I earned a master’s degree in public health and spent over 26 years working for the Virginia Department of Health. As co-chair of the Public Health Caucus in Congress, I am committed to protecting Virginians and raising awareness about how public health issues impact lives and communities. I fully believe that we must support legislation that protects the vulnerable, especially those with pre-existing conditions. Our healthcare system should provide access to quality, affordable healthcare to every American.

With thousands of pieces of legislation introduced before the U.S. House of Representatives, I want to highlight some features on my website for you to stay engaged with what is happening here in Washington. From traveling throughout our district, I have compiled a list of priorities that outline my position on many of the important issues facing Virginia's First District and our nation.

Please know that I will continue to work hard on your behalf and continue to provide top-tier constituent services. I welcome any specific concerns or ideas you may have that could contribute to creating a better future for our district and our country. While we may not agree on all issues, I am always a resource should you ever need it.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out…

Anybody else have a strange alien beach on their porch?

Weirdly it looks like they kind of have tongues, but they're useless for most sharks.

A block of text discussing the useless things sharks have instead of tongues. Also a cartoon of a tongue.

Do sharks have tongues?
Sharks have a tongue referred to as a basihyal. The basihyal is a small, thick piece of cartilage located on the floor of the mouth of sharks and other fishes.

It appears to be useless for most sharks with the exception of the cookiecutter shark. The cookiecutter shark uses the basihyal to rip chunks of flesh out of their prey.

Taste is sensed by taste buds located on the papillae lining the mouth and throat of the shark. The taste receptors help the shark decide if the prey item is suitable or not prior to ingesting the item.

Doesn't matter. Are your pictures more from peer reviewed studies than this? Provide evidence

Thanks for proving my point. This is the outcome you'd expect if homepathy was just placebo.

This is great evidence that homepathy is placebo.
