Pre-histrionics

b1-66er: "Scientists discover the "Monkeydactyl" — a Jurassic-era flying dinosaur with opposable thumbs"

b1-67er: More good news!

D4rw1n: Monkeydactyl was active on social media, worked as a sysadmin for a mid-size Jurassic electronics company, and was "a bit of a dick, to be honest," according to one coworker. But he was known for his devotion to his two pet Liassoscorpionides, Franklin and Mmzithphbbbt. "They were his life," said Lisa Pantangelo, a Vilevolodon who identifies herself as Monkeydactyl's "kind of ex."  "He was always pinching their little cheeks with his damned opposable thumbs, like, 'aren't I special.'"
It appears there was more going on in the Mesozoic than we thought

State of the District of the state

b1-66er: I'm interested in any comments you have here.

D4rw1n: I don't talk about it much, but the lack of congressional representation for 700,000 DC residents is deeply morally wrong. Statehood for DC is the correct remedy, in my view. The constitutional soundness of the remedy is preserved by the bill, which would merely reduce the size of the constitutionally mandated federal district to encompass the Capitol, the White House, and a few federal buildings 
The filibuster is the only obstacle. There are pros and cons to ending the filibuster rule, but I've come around in favor of ending it 
I'm not confident the votes are there right now to end the filibuster, though 

b1: I think it's interesting. No one outside the ring even really knows about it.
First time I became "aware," aside from wondering what the hell a District of Columbia WAS,...
