Some good news out of Washington: Politico recommends Fossil Men for summer reading. "Reads like an Indiana Jones sequel...This is a book about the ongoing quest to find us — and what human nature is at its core." politico.com/news/magazine/…
OLD FRIDAYS: Have a nice weekend! NEW FRIDAYS: Best of luck avoiding flash floods, hurricanes, wildfires, riots, mass shootings, and Covid between now and Monday!
At last, I have found my ideal instructor for a master class on social media:
Ornery? A little old fashioned? Sure, but he’s your dad—and you love him. Here’s a Father’s Day gift whose title screams out THAT’S MY OLD MAN! #FossilMen. Treat dad to a grand scientific adventure. He’ll learn to see the old body with new eyes. amazon.com/Fossil-Men-Old…
Barack, Big Fish, The Alchemist…and the quest for a fossil skeleton! UC Berkeley Libraries recommends #FossilMen for #CalSummerReading. Honored to join this list alongside Isabel Wilkerson, Barack Obama, Jhumpa Lahiri, Paulo Coelho, and other great authors.

Listen to FOSSIL MEN by @KermitPattison a behind-the-scenes account of the shocking discovery of the skeleton of “Ardi." Available for $5.95 today only for @audible_com users! adbl.co/3tGaLtV
Just finished this excellent book by @KermitPattison
Deeply honored by this review: “it did not take long for me to become completely engrossed by Pattison’s portrayal of these scientists, and to be in awe of the skill with which he tackles numerous complex biological topics...a page-turner that you will not regret.”
Neophyte discovers downside of Twitter—everybody you follow inevitably becomes another person from Porlock.
You and the Big Lie caucus tried to overturn a fair election—but you only managed to overturn yourself on Zoom. Instead of making cat jokes, maybe you should spend your day watching impeachment trial to see how your party’s embrace of lies had tragic & deadly consequences.

For the sake of unity, we must learn to work with the swine among us.

Ardi meets Kiwi: enthusiastic review of #FossilMen by @NZBooklovers. “If you’re curious about where humans come from - and are fascinated by our feats and foibles - then this is the perfect read.” nzbooklovers.co.nz/post/fossil-me…
Turns out this message was premature. Now it’s real. Happy New Year! Wishing you a 2021 filled with kindness, honesty, curiosity, and courage. Brighter days ahead.

Sad sign of times that acknowledgement of the obvious ranks as major news. But here we are today. Mitch McConnell: ”The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. And they tried to use fear and violence…”

WATCH: Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) says majority of GOP "paralyzed with fear" @RepJasonCrow: "I had a lot of conversations with my Republican colleagues. ... A couple of them broke down in tears ... saying that they are afraid for their lives if they vote for this impeachment."
Funny how Trumpists now whining about “cancel culture” were perfectly OK with canceling democracy a week ago
