They said “before dinosaurs,” but we have a cave here that began forming between 450 million to 550 million years ago.

There are no bones in that cave. No fossils. No nothing.

That’s because this cave began forming before bones existed on land, and had only just started to exist in the ocean. Shellfish hadn’t evolved yet. Limestone, which forms many caves, was just starting to become a more prevalent rock.

Local police murdered Daunte Wright during a traffic stop yesterday. In response to crowds of protestors demanding body camera footage and justice in general, Minnesota Governor called in National Guard, University of Minnesota Police, and State Patrol. Police deployed tear gas and munitions in a heavily residential area in response to unarmed protestors outside their headquarters after declaring an unlawful assembly and threatening arrests for all people in attendance, including press. The governor has extended a curfew through tonight to provide the police legal coverage in their violence against a mourning and angry community. Local police are also now flying the "Blue Lives Matter" flag, a reminder that police value their gang loyalty to enforce state authority.

This is occurring outside Minneapolis, where George Floyd was murdered by police in 2020 and his murder, Derek Chauvin, is now in the 3rd week of his trial.
