“Do you think in the future, a Democratic Administration will nominate Barack Obama to the Supreme Court?”Look—I’m unabashedly a conservative Republican. But I can say with absolute certainty that I’m not being biased when I say Barack Obama would be one of the least qualified people ever nominated, if in fact he were to be nominated.There are probably a few obscure nominees with less relevant experience… but I can’t think of any.Let’s just compare to the current Court’s resumes, shall we?Legal jobs/accomplishments in bold italics.Chief Justice John

see those veritable seas of bold, italic text? These men and women have eaten, slept, and breathed law, since graduating law school.Now let’s review,President Barack ObamaJ.D. magna cum laude from Harvard Law School—1991President, Harvard Law ReviewVisiting Law and Government Fellow, University of Chicago Law School—1991–1993Lecturer, University of Chicago Law School—1992–2004Associate at Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland—1993–1996Of Counsel, Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland—1996–2004Illinois State Senator—1997–2005U.S. Senator—2005–2009President of the United States—2009–2017Speaking engagements—2017–presentTOTAL: 13 years legal experience, no judicial experience, no appellate argumentHe hasn’t been a lawyer by trade at all since 2004, nor even licensed to practice since 2007. He hasn’t been a full time attorney since 1996 (over 20 years). He was never a tenured professor, never wrote any notable legal treatises, and frankly (as near as I can tell) was utterly unremarkable as both attorney and law professor—I’m sure he was fully competent… but if he hadn’t gone into politics, I see no evidence that we’d even know his name.This isn’t a “bash Obama” answer. I’m not saying he was a bad lawyer, nor that his lack of legal accolades has any bearing on his presidential career. Even the fact that he’s no longer licensed says nothing about his 20-years-ago competency or about him as a person—merely that law has been a complete non-priority for him in he past decade.But his resume frankly looks nothing like the resume of a well-qualified Supreme Court Justice.An Obama nomination would be rank partisanship, in a way that we truly have not seen in my lifetime—it would make both the Garland affair and the Kavanaugh borking look like mature bipartisanship.Because the only conceivable reason to nominate Barack Obama to the Supreme Court would be because of the outcomes he’d be likely to vote for—he’s not qualified… but he sure will vote reliably liberal!That being said, I’ve heard no one seriously proposing this. We haven’t sunk that far yet.

Meet Troglomyces twitteri, the fungus spotted on twitter!Yea you read it right, it was spotted on a twitter image by a Denmark biologist, Derek Hennen. And hence, it is named twitteri!How it was discovered?A Denmark biologist-cum-associate professor, Ana Sofia Reboleira was scrolling through twitter, when she spotted tiny dots on a photo of a North American ‘millipede’ posted by entomologist Derek Hennen in 2018.She was observant enough to note those tiny dots on the millipede’s picture.Reboleira showed that image to her colleague Henrik Enghoff.In her own words both of them, “ran down to the museum’s collection and began digging” from where the image of the millipede was taken.In that museum they found those fungus on several American millipede specimens, and they were pretty sure that this fungus was never noted before.Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris helped them in confirming the discovery of this new species.Troglomyces twitteri belongs to the order Laboulbeniales, they mainly live on the outside of host organisms, this one generally lives on the host's reproductive organs.They mostly look like tiny larvae.Anyway isn't it amusing, how some people can observe so minute of a thing.(Image via Phys.org - News and Articles on Science and Technology)Sources :New species found on Twitter: Scientist gobsmacked by parasite fungus that pierces hostExplained: A new species discovered on Twitter, named after Twitter'First species discovered on Twitter' is a parasitic fungus that dines on millipede genital

After graduating high school, I worked for JC Penney’s as a sales associate for about 5 years. My job duties were cleaning out fitting rooms and cashiering. Every year, as bathing suit season approached I began to fill with dread. Men would come in and take the bathing suits (sometimes even the lingerie) into the fitting rooms and masturbate into them. On several occasions I was the unlucky sales associate to pick up a pair of cum laden bikini bottoms. Most disgusting, creepy thing I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing in my life.
