@DTyler71604 @historyinmemes Many of the skulls we have of this creature have broken tusks or no tusks at all. Either because they simply broke off or eroded away or because they were harvested for ivory. So one could assume it is possible they saw a version where the tusks were less prominent or not there.

@historyinmemes This is a lie, and giants were 100% real. Notice these elephant skulls have giant tusks as well. No cyclops is noted with tusks. . . Sooo?

Fossil skulls of dwarf elephants discovered on Greek islands may have helped inspire the ancient Greek legend of the one-eyed Cyclops. Ancient Greeks traveling to islands such as Crete, Sicily, and Cyprus may have come across fossilized remains of extinct dwarf elephants—species that evolved from larger mainland ancestors through island dwarfism. These skulls feature a large central nasal cavity where the trunk once attached, which, to someone unfamiliar with elephant anatomy, could easily be mistaken for a single enormous eye socket. Their impressive size may have helped inspire tales of gigantic one-eyed beings, such as the Cyclops in works like The Odyssey, where Polyphemus appears as a fearsome giant. This interpretation was first formally proposed by paleontologist Othenio Abel in 1914 and later expanded by science historian Adrienne Mayor. While it cannot be proven with certainty, the hypothesis remains a compelling example of how ancient peoples may have woven prehistoric fossil discoveries into mythology, blending real natural history with oral storytelling traditions.

@tilfordkage @lvsq0 @DemzDeliver The government is paying the bill not the student. The post doesn't adequately state that the student will have to fill out a FAFSA to get any other grants or scholarships first and they cover the rest. So it isn't that there is no tuition, just eligible students don't pay it.

@lvsq0 @DemzDeliver On average, it makes up somewhere between 17%-21% of revenue for public universities. That's nothing to scoff at, and will need to be made-up for somehow if removed.

🚨 New Mexico has become the first state to make public universities tuition free for all. Nearly every state Republican tried to block this change.

@DemzDeliver Does North Star Promise not count for MN? Pretty sure it is fairly similar to NM in requirements and also leaves students with $0 to pay on tuition up to their Bachelor's Degree, and this has been in place for a couple years I think.

@carlquintanilla Claiming Iranian and Chinese ships getting through means there are no mines? Maybe the people who placed the mines and have multiple subs there are able to provide safe routes. Also one of Iran's Kilo class subs can hold 24 mines at once such as the MDM-1. Could deploy very quick

Bessent with an interesting idea: “an international coalition”. 🤡

@JamesAVena When you set mines, you know where the mines are.

As of March 2026, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted that Iranian and Chinese-flagged tankers are successfully traversing the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting this indicates Iran has not mined the waterway, despite earlier threats. Wait, What? How are they getting through?

@KratomicDog @justpraeto @RepRoKhanna @RepThomasMassie I believe they said that it would likely take 7 years or more to review everything the DOJ has released so far with the restrictive setup they have given representatives. Meaning with the millions the DOJ hasn't released it would likely be over a decade if nothing changed.

@justpraeto @RepRoKhanna @RepThomasMassie To be fair, the system they have setup in the House to review the files is purposefully difficult to navigate. They're throwing marbles at our feet every chance they get because they know what's in there

.@RepThomasMassie and I forced last night the DOJ to disclose the identities of 6 men: Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner. I share details of what more we learned to hold the Epstein class accountable.

@hutchthequack @RepRoKhanna @RepThomasMassie You remember that Trump could have instructed the DOJ to release these files at any time, but did not do so until the Transparency act went almost unanimously through both chambers of Congress and it was put on his desk, at that point he had to hope the DOJ would redact him out.

Trump is the only president that would ever release these files and you cal lhim out by name multiple times saying he’s trying to hide and cover up. I salute you for your work on this but trump is not the one who you should be complaining about. These files would have never and did never see the light of day under Biden… but you were silent about that..

@njeriand @grok @RepRoKhanna @RepThomasMassie A regular friend who never comes to the island, to any parties, doesn't share Epstein's main interest of underage girls, isn't creeped out by how Epstein speaks and over sexualized things, and somehow misses Epstein being a sex trafficker. Easy to believe he had no normal friends

@grok @RepRoKhanna @RepThomasMassie People behave as if Epstein didn’t have—or shouldn’t have had—regular, normal friends.

@SenFettermanPA If you believe there were investments made in the 70s by US Oil companies, that they never had a chance to benefit from, state a reasonable amount for Venezuela to owe and then leave. We don't need to seize their entire oil industry, which pays for their public services.

@SenFettermanPA The issue is less about Maduro and more about the US Government threatening the current leader and former vice president with a "Do what we say or you are next, or we will take the oil by force". US hasn't been involved in Venezuelan oil since the 70s. We have no claim to it.

Less than a year ago, President Biden upped the Maduro bounty to $25,000,000. Removing Maduro was positive for Venezuela. As a Democrat, I don’t understand why we can’t acknowledge a good development for Venezuelans—and how deft our military’s execution of that plan was.

@SenFettermanPA It is only up for sale if Denmark says so, they say it isn't. We agreed in the Treaty of the Dutch West Indies, that we would not object to Danish control over all of Greenland. I believe I have heard government officials in the US raise objections and plan to violate the treaty.

I believe Greenland has massive strategic benefits for the United States. I do not support taking it by force. America is not a bully. Ideally, we purchase it—similar to our purchases of Alaska or the Louisiana Purchase. Acquiring Greenland is a many decades old conversation.

🚨 TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERS PAYING GREENLANDERS TO JOIN U.S. U.S. officials have discussed offering Greenlanders $10,000–$100,000 each to support secession from Denmark and possible U.S. affiliation, sources say. The plan is part of broader White House deliberations, which also include military options or a Compact of Free Association. Greenland and Denmark insist the island is not for sale, and European leaders have criticized U.S. comments. While polls show Greenlanders favor independence, most do not want to join the U.S., and the logistics and terms of any payment remain unclear.

@marcorubio Doesn't the Treaty of the Danish West Indies that we signed in 1916, state that we would not object to Danish control over all of Greenland? The treaty we signed that allowed us to purchase the U.S. Virgin Islands. Wouldn't suggested actions violate the treaty?

If China came out and said they would help, but only if Milei loses, Trump and the right would be having a fit and calling it election interference or tampering. bbc.com/news/articles/…

@dimension20show Looks like Ghost Dog and about as old lol.

@KelvinCold1234 @DeItaone Violent crimes were at a 30 year low, the streets were safer. Obviously not perfect but a 30 year low isn't a signal that you need to deploy the National Guard.

FEDERAL TAKEOVER OF THE METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT IS INTENDED TO LAST FOR 30 DAYS -NEW YORK TIMES, CITING WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL

@Shan_Specter @DeItaone Biden was President both of those years lol

U.S. VIOLENT CRIME FELL 4.5% IN 2024, SECOND STRAIGHT ANNUAL DECLINE, FBI SAYS Violent crime fell 4.5% in the U.S. last year, marking the second consecutive annual decline, while hate crime decreased by 1.5%, the FBI said in its annual national crime report released on Tuesday.

@DeItaone So basically the "big deals" he has to announce soon, are just more tariff letters. Tariffs aren't deals lol, they aren't a trade agreement.

TRUMP: WHEN I SEND OUT THE PAPER SAYING 35%, 40% IT'S A DEAL

@DeItaone Gotta distract from the fact his government is collapsing.

WSJ: ISRAELI OFFICIAL WARNED THAT A STRIKE COULD COME AS SOON AS SUNDAY UNLESS IRAN AGREES TO HALT PRODUCTION OF FISSILE MATERIAL

@SawyerMerritt I give it a week before it ends up like the Waymos in LA lol.

BREAKING: First ever Tesla Model Y robotaxi with no-one in the drivers seat spotted testing on public roads in Austin, Texas! Tesla's new "Robotaxi" wordmark/logo is on the side of the vehicle.
