In addition to panting, lizards move from sunny perches into shade. However, this means they lose time for catching prey, defending territory, or finding mates. Panting allows them to stay out longer. It does come with some potential trade-offs. Panting is a form of evaporative cooling.
Heads up: Taylor Farms lettuce is sold under these brand names: Marketside (sold at Walmart) Earthbound Farm (owned by Taylor Farms) Cross Valley Farms (owned by US Foods) Private labels for Target, Whole Foods (365), and Amazon Fresh. AVOID ALL OF THEM
The science is clear. The stakes are real. AGU condemns the repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding — a decision that rejects the overwhelming evidence and undermines climate accountability. We will continue to defend science and advocate for evidence-based policy. buff.ly/wX1BQ2t

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Well, here's a BIG LIE I have just encountered "the Democrat-led government shutdown" and a violation of the Hatch Act: "the Tr-mp Administration works to reopen the government". Following a link to the HHS website to read about Medicare Eligibility rules, here is the banner containing both lies:
“The law doesn’t matter anymore” is obeying in advance.
I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.
