Who was the president in 1996?

So far, he's the only president seen in a photograph on Epstein's island swimming in a pool with a woman whose face has been "redacted."

Before getting to the chart, one might spend some time at this link. If the link is lost, that's fine. It's simply extolling the advantages Nvidia holds over the rest: "one ring to rule the rest."

Global Warming, Ocean Reefs, New Species -- December 21, 2025

Locator: 49756GLOBALWARMING. 

You can't have it both ways. 

For as long as I've been blogging I've been reading two stories:

• reefs are dying due to global warming; and,
• human activity is leading to the sixth mass extinction.

Now this, link here.

From the linked article:

Scientists believe they have discovered at least 20 new species in a deep part of the Pacific Ocean.

The discoveries were found after researchers from the California Academy of Sciences retrieved 13 reef monitoring devices that had been placed in deep coral reefs in Guam, which had been collecting data since 2018. The devices, known as autonomous reef monitoring structures or ARMS, were placed up to 330 feet below the surface, an area of the ocean that receives little light.

Over two weeks in November, scientists retrieved 2,000 specimens, finding 100 species in the region for the first time. Luiz Rocha, California Academy of Sciences Ichthyology curator, told NPR after more analysis is completed, scientists expect to discover more than 20 new species. Rocha was also part of the diving exhibition that placed and retrieved the devices.

It gets tedious.
