It refreshing to see a company actually speak out against racism and white supremacy in such a forceful way. The statement was so direct, comprehensive and doesn't hold back. It also offers a history, explanation of systemic racism and also offers actual solutions. https://www.benjerry.com/about-us/media-center/dismantle-white-supremacy

One of the more surreal images I have come across:

Sure thing, but they should have risked it instead of propping up "Punch-Drunk" Biden as their "champion"...
-
No. He's an opportunist.

I don't know how I feel about this- I mean they voted this ****** in, in the first place... they should probably share some of the blame- he came exactly as advertised.

Damn- It's pretty crazy to see this sort of thing

Interesting development here: Add in the PMCs which are apparently "Barr's Army" We get this:

100% PMC...

I would hire this guy in a heart beat.

This is the mindset of a few of these police officers...

Yeah... too bad Bernie is out now. I think if he would have stayed in the race, he would have a tremendous surge and would have become the Democratic Party's nominee...

True. I just wished he would have enacted better change when he had all three branches. Still miffed about his drone policy and how he handled Flint. But yeah- he's a genuinely good person.

Whoa.... whoa... whoa... the hell?

What an ass Hard to imagine...? Don't get me wrong... I wasn't a huge supporter of many of Obama's policies, but he was all class.

Totally agree. The entire time I am watching these protests... I kept thinking of the Michigan protest against the stay at home orders- there is a stark difference in how each group was treated... Armed protesters storming the capitol in Michigan and nothing... nothing... George Floyd protesters... unarmed and peacefully protesting boom, crack down. What do you think would have happened if the Black protesters were armed to the teeth like these assholes?

This kind of sums it up...

Oh hey, Look. A ******* loser.

Today, I learned that Honey Bees actually hack nature if they are hungry... When bumble bee queens emerge from hibernation, they need to gather pollen and nectar to start their new colonies. If they wake up too soon, there may not be enough flowers in bloom. Now, researchers have discovered the bees have a way to order some fast food: They nibble holes in leaves, spurring plants to blossom weeks ahead of schedule. Many questions remain about the details of this strategy and how it evolved. “It’s certainly surprising,” says Lars Chittka, a behavioral ecologist at the Queen Mary University of London, who was not involved. “We’re only at the beginning of exploring this phenomenon.” Researchers at ETH Zürich chanced upon the discovery when they noticed curious bite marks on leaves while studying how bees respond to plant odors. They had added bumble bees to a research greenhouse and observed them cutting holes in the shape of half-moons. What was going on? At first, the researchers thought the insects might be feeding on fluid from the leaves, but the bees didn’t stay long enough to get much. Nor did they appear to be taking any part of the leaves back to their colonies. A key observation—that bumble bees from colonies with less food were more avidly damaging the leaves—suggested another goal. The researchers wondered whether the damage triggered the plants to flower sooner, providing pollen to the hungry pollinators. After all, some plants speed up their flowering when they are stressed by disease or drought because these threats provide an incentive to reproduce sooner. But no one had ever shown that a pollinator can stimulate flowering. “I thought it was a long shot,” recalls Mark Mescher, an evolutionary biologist at ETH Zürich who co-led the research. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/hungry-bumblebees-make-plants-flower-early-cutting-holes-their-leaves http://www.indefenseofplants.com/blog/2020/5/25/bees-bite-leaves-to-induce-flowering

You didn't read the article I reckon....
