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.

A golden retriever has both paws up at a bank teller’s window.

“Are you the branch manager?”
“Yes I am, how can I help you?”
“I would like two branches, please.”
“How would you like that?”
“Two big sticks, four little sticks.”

Thou shalt not commit blasphemy against Samuel L. Jackson’s monologue in Pulp Fiction, motherfucker.

I went to the library to get a book on Pavlov's dog and Schrodinger's cat.

The librarian said that she thought it rang a bell but wasn't sure if it was there or not!

Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.

Sometimes I think how The Beatles were barely 30 when they broke up. All that music, the lyrics that transcend time, they were still in their 20s. That’s amazing! Isn’t it?

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron fishes at dusk at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, a weathered log stretches across the pond from left to right. At the left of center, a heron stands on one leg, intent on the water below as it hunts. The scene is almost perfectly mirrored on the pond's surface, reflecting both the bird and the branch. Soft, twilight clouds and the deepening blue of the twilight sky ripple gently in the water. It's a striking, contemplative scene-capturing the quiet beauty of the natural world.

The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment

Real quote just now from Trump: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will."

So. Good. 🤍

I don’t want to be controversial but I do think it’s turned out that the possibility of nuclear war is a bigger threat to the future of humanity than the woke mind virus

I made this for my mom for her birthday. She's 91 and isn't this exactly the right attitude?

This is superb!💙

Pooch heaven 🖤
