Um. Definitely a deterrent😳

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

You're looking at velvet malachite, Cu2CO3(OH)2.

A few warnings:
Please resist the urge to touch it to feel how soft it is.
Absolutely /do not/ lick it.
Keep far away from any Supermen.
If a wingéd creature emerges, do not agree to any pacts.

Let's talk about the science here.

From Fabre Minerals, a commercial site that sells rocks/minerals. It's a series of green crystals projecting, needle-like, from a more normal looking green/orange rock substrate. They resemble fans of pillars, like certain scenes in movies depicting Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral formed by precipitation of copper ores dissolved in groundwater.

The rate at which the mineral is deposited can radically alter the crystalline shape, including producing needle-like ('acicular') crystals as shown here.

Hence, do NOT touch.

An eBay posting for velvet malachite, showing a vibrantly green rock with a sort of fuzzy texture and sheen. It sits on an unusually shaped white rock which sits on a black granite countertop outside against green grass.

But the other quality of our velvety malachite is called 'chatoyancy' from the French verb 'chatoyer' meaning "to shine like a cat's eyes."

In strong light, the parallel, needle-like fibrous structures within the mineral produce a shiny structure that reminds us of soft but shiny cloth.

This is what malachite can look like under a scanning electron microscope. You can see the fibrous nature of the crystals.

Like "real velvet", it has projecting parallel 'hairs', but unlike cloth, they're spiky, abrasive. Big ouch.

What is Velvet Malachite – Geology In Velvet malachite is a textural habit of the copper carbonate hydroxide mineral malachite (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂), defined by extremely fine, densely...

Velvet malachite is mostly mined from a single location: Kolwezi mining district in Congo (DRC) because of the unique geological conditions found there.

Just an FYI for any Kryptonians who read my threads.

Normalizing relations with Belarus is incredibly dangerous and traitorous.

Trump is cozying up to a regime that actively aids Russia against Ukraine.

This move gives Putin a major advantage in avoiding sanctions while betraying global democracy

😂Demonic Dem: " Donnnny, time to go.... "

Yep, my reaction, too😳
Time to take the keys & nuclear codes away from grampa, ASAP!

Not sure wtf we're doing but it definitely doesn't feel like winning.

If a working-class citizen shows up to their job completely intoxicated, misses crucial morning meetings, and forces their coworkers to literally break down their office door just to wake them up, they are immediately and unceremoniously fired.

I went w/o an auto for 2 years in a medium-sized city. I did have a trail bike. The only bad thing was, the city did not properly keep their fleet of buses repaired, nor did they have enough buses for getting about w/in a reasonable amount of time.
So, I mainly walked & biked.

If you’re in Virginia, for the sake of everything that matters to the rest of the civilized world, please get out today and vote yes on the constitutional amendment

Another reason I am glad I no longer buy from Amazon.

Then what is the point of him being AG? Oh, right...protecting Trump. Never mind.

Coachella is removing these videos, so they might be about to learn about the Strokesand Effect.

Poorest 20%: tax increase
Middle class: tax increase
Richest 1%: tax cut

Don’t worry, they said it trickles down.

Erased: Nobody Testifies Against Trump Twice Five dead. One pattern. None of them made it to sworn testimony.

...maybe - just maybe - he's actually the worst president in history

...ah! We found the supplier......So THAT's where the Iranian vid trollers are getting all their Legos...🤔

Remember when Trump literally had fake electors try to overturn the election?

Nothing happened to them. This is a federal crime. Why haven’t they been prosecuted?

These 2 remind me of this scene with O'Toole & Sellers ...
