The Dog Ate My Homework Defense
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron asked Trump’s lawyers to explain why Trump should not be fined or “possibly” jailed after a screenshot of the offending post remained on Trump’s website weeks after a court order barred him from publicly criticizing Engoron’s staff...Trump attorney Chris Kise claimed that the social media screenshot had been posted “automatically” to Trump’s campaign website, and said it was an oversight that the post remained up until last night. Judge Engoron said that he would take Kise’s explanation “under advisement” and issue a ruling later.

Time To Deflate Photo

 Scientists discovered a small 30 million-year-old praying mantis frozen in time, within a pristine clear piece of amber from the Dominican Republic. It was estimated to have been from the Oligocene period, placing it anywhere from about 23 million to 33.9 million years old. I see the same praying mantis on my window screen almost daily.


Best Wishes for a peaceful weekend, everyone.
