'Biden's campaign also nixed the idea of including third-party or independent candidates in the debates, saying they "should be one-on-one, allowing voters to compare the only two candidates with any statistical chance of prevailing in the Electoral College — and not squandering debate time on candidates with no prospect of becoming president."'
Wow, fuck you too, Joe.

"[T]erms include having microphones open only when it is the candidates turn to speak."
Absolutely based. Can't wait to hear Trump's out-of-turn shouting barely getting picked up on the audio.

"The Food and Drug Administration's ability to approve [newer, better] ingredients is hamstrung by a 1938 U.S. law that has required sunscreens to be tested on animals and classified as drugs, rather than as cosmetics as they are in much of the world."

The FDA requires animal testing for drugs, while the EU bans animal testing for cosmetics.

US congress is moving to require the FDA to allow non-animal testing.

"We all undertake the awkward mental gymnastics of making space for ugly cultural objects when they're familiar, when our personal memories are wrapped up in them," Gene wrote at the time.

Huh?

"I would like to wear a name that I'm proud of. ... Not only do I want to have my [...] jacket say Stonewall [...], but I would also love to have my jerseys [...] say Stonewall." Which feels like a telling example of the way that things like pride are passed down – for better or for worse.

Huhh?

"RCM has not staffed the site [where the flyers were planted/discovered] in years."

So it does look like the flyers were fake news to rile up conservatives.

From the article:
They're not aggressive.
They rarely bite, even if stepped on.
Bites are rarely deadly.
They are not evolving not to rattle.
The young snakes are less dangerous than adults.
There's no need to identity the type of rattlesnake if bitten, as the same antivenom is used across all of them.
