"Whirling disease is caused by Myxobolus cerebralis, a parasite that targets the bone structure of juvenile fish before their cartilage can ossify, or harden into bone...

Whirling disease took out 90 per cent of trout populations in Colorado during the 1990s."

I remember the shock of first reading Speaking of Jennings! (published 1973) when he was suddenly using decimal money and I realised that the books were not set in some ossified past, but in the year they were written (despite Jennings not aging).

The DNC autopsy is exhibit #8204059 that the Democratic Leadership must be changed and the party is completely ossified and unable to meet the moment right now.

Candidates, organizers, activists, and voters are getting it done, but top down they are cooked, including their big $$$ donors.
