Yesterday, the Smithsonian informed me that there are 2 baby pygmy lorises (endangered) at the Zoo. This is part of a breeding program designed to help the species recover. You need to scroll down a bit to get to the article, but it’s there. And at the bottom of the page, 5 photos are available for download. They are adorable, but I wouldn’t want to cuddle one – slow lorises produce venom (the only mammals known to do so.)
A gift link (no paywall) to an opinion piece at the New York Times. I don’t think there’s anything in it we don’t already know (well, maybe not the exact figures to the last decimal) but I hope – we can hope – it will help to educate some people.
In a related article (both deal with inequality), Robert Reich “destroys” stock buybacks.” Of course they aren’t destroyed, they still exist, but you’ll know in full why they shouldn’t.)
This news cheered up Mary Trump. I hope it helps y’all. Just don’t forget he is still a Republican.
