New disease found in seagulls cause by plastic ingestion!

The condition, Plasticosis, scars the digestive tract. It's likely that other birds also have this problem.

Proposed Florida law requires bloggers who write about DeSantis et al to register with the state!

If you are a compensated blogger, you would have to register with the state within five days of your first post or face a possible $25/day fine. This applies more to paid bloggers with active posting and following and excludes news web sites.

The law also requires political bloggers writing about Florida to file monthly reports reporting their income from blogging.

Talk about gross First Amendment overreach! Now, this is just a bill filed in the legislature, a proposal. It may never see consideration, or it may sweep through. But the thing that gets me is the Republicans keep calling Democrats snow flakes and such, here they are the ones being incredibly thin-skinned.

Time for me to create a Ron DeSantis tag and post more about him!
