"Monday’s [SCOTUS] ruling would be offensive to the rule of law in any scenario, but for Chief Justice John Roberts, in particular, to do so in a case involving the Education Department, in particular, it is little more than ... laughing in the face of Americans and the rule of law."

A Denver dino museum makes a find deep under own parking lot. Like 'a hole in one from the moon.'

A dinosaur fossil has been found in an unlikely place, a hole drilled under the parking lot of a Colorado museum where dinosaur skeletons are on display. The find happened when the Denver Museum of Nature and Science was drilling to study possible geothermal heat for the building. Museum experts say retrieving part of a dinosaur vertebra from the narrow hole was extraordinarily unlikely, but it happened. They believe it came from a smallish, plant-eating dinosaur that lived 67 million years ago. They say only two such finds are previously documented in the world. The hockey-puck-shaped fossil sample is now on display in the museum.
I cut this image out of a sale catalogue years ago. Never been able to find its source since (and I have tried a lot!).
If you know where it is from, I'd be thrilled to find out.
Beer brewing from planting all the way to over drinking the product then being laughed at?
Which doesn’t help sourcing it, sorry.

@bythehandofbob @jstatepost It’s definitely difficult artwork, but we live in difficult times. To me they all evoke the screaming most of us are doing inside. It’s is our voices they are relying on silencing in order to turn American into a totalitarian state.
I don’t “like” the pictures, but I am in them. And I hope we all get to scream together soon.
