"In a study published Monday in the journal 'Scientific Reports,' Kloess identified the birds as pelagornithids, a group of predators that roamed the Earth's southern oceans for at least 60 million years. They are known as "bony-toothed" birds because of their sharp teeth and long beaks, which helped them grab fish and squid from the ocean… The birds were huge, with wingspans reaching up to 21 feet (6.4 meters)."
"Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation could open the door to a world that many anti-abortion-rights activists have been envisioning for decades." An article on just what a post-Roe USA would be like. And let's be honest here, there will still be abortions. It's just they won't be safe except for the rich. The timing of abortions will slip later into pregnancies.
"Gov. Mike DeWine urges Ohioans to reconsider Halloween gatherings amid coronavirus surge; Ohio Dept. of Health issues guidance for Trick-or-Treating." Yeah, you're a little to late there Mikey. And then there's this recommendation… "Refrain from having children select their own treats from a bowl/common container or set up a hand-sanitizing station. Consider placing treats on porch steps or a table in the driveway with a sign asking children to take only one. Or use other creative ways to distribute treats, such as using a candy 'slide' made of PVC pipe, or hanging treats from a wall or fence." Have these people met kids before or seen trick-or-treating outside gated communities?
"Eli Lilly & Co. is ending a clinical trial of its antibody drug bamlanivimab in hospitalized COVID-19 patients after federal researchers concluded the therapy produced no marked improvement."
But… "The U.S. government will pay Eli Lilly $375 million to supply 300,00 doses of its experimental antibody drug to treat the coronavirus, the company announced Wednesday." It's unclear if that's the same drug, bamlanivimab, as above as the drug's name is not listed.
"The stock market rout continued Wednesday, deepening this week’s losses on concerns that rising numbers of coronavirus infections in the U.S. and Europe will push governments to bring back restrictions on businesses."
"The path toward recovery continues to be inherently antisocial and runs counter to how humans interact, live lives and conduct their business. This unwelcome policy — which has already harmed families, societies and economies — has the potential to lead to a tectonic shift in how the world functions in the foreseeable future."
"As hundreds of thousands of women dropped out of the workforce in September, Latinas led the way, leaving at nearly three times the rate of white women and more than four times the rate of African Americans. That could have lasting consequences for both household budgets and the broader U.S. economy."
"The CEOs of Facebook, Google and Twitter released prepared remarks on Tuesday that warn against repealing Section 230, the statute that protects the social networks from liability for their users’ posts. The remarks were released in advance of Wednesday’s hearing with the Senate Commerce Committee… The CEOs have been called in front of the committee because lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are concerned about how each company moderates, or sometimes fails to moderate, content posted by users." How do you like not stopping those Nazi's now, Jack?
"A regulatory 'firewall' intended to protect Voice of America and its affiliated newsrooms from political interference in their journalism was swept aside late Monday night by the chief executive of the federal agency which oversees the government's international broadcasters." The damage being done by this administration will take at least a generation to recover from.
"Hundreds of President Donald Trump supporters were left in the freezing cold for hours after a rally at an airfield in Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday night, with some walking around three miles to waiting buses and others being taken away in ambulances."
"Claiming he was 'saving suburbia' at a campaign rally in Lansing, Michigan, the President pitched himself as the candidate for suburban women voters because he's 'getting your kids back to school' and 'getting your husbands -- they want to get back to work. We're getting your husbands back to work.'" Sherman, set the Wayback Machine…
"The Wall Street Journal and Fox News have both reported finding no evidence that former Vice President Joe Biden benefited from the Hunter Biden business dealings that have drawn scrutiny. More explicitly pro-Trump media outlets — OAN, Breitbart, Newsmax — have mostly shied away from publishing fresher, more salacious allegations. And conservative talking heads — pundits, politicians and loud MAGA Twitter personalities alike — have been more focused on the meta narrative around the laptop, arguing that mainstream media, social media companies and the deep state are conspiring to prevent President Donald Trump’s reelection by suppressing the story."
"Some pro-gun Facebook pages are fearmongering about mass violence from the left after the election." Well, more like it's a desire of the Right to have violence. It's just they're trying to pre-justify their own actions.
