The Asp caterpillar (Megalopyge opercularis) also called the 'puss caterpillar' is the larva of the flannel moth. They look fuzzie-wuzzie, but the larva contains a secret: hidden in the soft hairs are dagger-sharp hollow spines containing a venom that causes intense pain. (📷: Judy Gallagher)

So, I said what I thought needed saying about Biden, hating every minute as I did. One thing I won’t do, however, is snipe at him if he chooses to stay in. Anyone who does that is in effect campaigning for Trump — and doing so out of sheer pettiness.

Standing on a street corner with a sign “If you own a bunch of stores that sold food with lead in it, you should stop what you’re doing and help solve that problem! You shouldn’t need the FDA to tell you it’s not acceptable that you left it on the shelf after you found out. Have you ever met a kid?”

So relatable and also iconic: On one occasion, Paul Erdős met a mathematician and asked him where he was from. "Vancouver," the mathematician replied. "Oh, then you must know my good friend Elliot Mendelson," Erdős said. The reply was "I AM your good friend Elliot Mendelson."

New study by Linsey Marr:

“We aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 & pulled it through masks. After 1hr we were able to recover infectious virus from fabric masks but not an N95 or surgical mask. When we pressed artificial skin against the masks we found viral RNA but no infectious virus on the skin.” #MasksWork

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.
