Happy World Tamandua Day! AKA the lesser anteater, the tamandua uses its long snout to sniff out ant, termite and bee colonies. Long claws enable it to dig into nests, and a long sticky tongue licks up the insects. A single tamandua can eat up to 9,000 ants in a single day!

In his 4th press briefing this year, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis finally got asked the question I wanted to ask at the 1st, before I was kicked out. Did the state let nearly a million covid tests expire last week while he was on Christmas break as omicron surged? Answer: YES.

This "lavaberg" in the flow is pretty impressive, but certainly the large amount of destruction to property from this eruption has been devastating to many residents of La Palma. – at Fort Hunt, VA

My 8 y.o. over breakfast this morning asked me, 'What are you most looking forward to today, Mommy?' 😯 ... and it really changed everything. ❤️ What are you most looking forward to today?

Can I let you in on a secret? We have the money to invest in climate-resilient infrastructure. The Pentagon spends $2,000,000,000 a day.

So my son turned 9 and we got a coronavirus piñata. I just couldn’t resist taking a swing! (Don’t worry, the kids got to bust it open.)
