Kissing to the right begins in the womb 2/13/03

Two thirds of us instinctively tilt our heads to the right when we kiss, reveals a new study timed to coincide with Valentine’s Day.
The 2:1 ratio matches our preference for using the right foot, eye and ear. The bias probably has its origins in our tendency to turn our heads to the right in the womb and for up to six months after birth, says the study’s author, Onur Güntürkün.
Güntürkün, of the Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany, observed 124 couples swapping kisses at airports, railway stations, beaches and parks in Germany, Turkey and the US.
“Twice as many adults turn their heads to the right as to the left when kissing, showing that this head-motor bias persists into adulthood,” he says. He claims he is not interested in kissing itself at all, but in how asymmetry develops in humans.
A Lost Language Translated From Ancient Tablets Reveals Names of Gods in Stunning Find
Our knowledge of the Amorite language was so slight that some doubted its existence, and now we know the names of their gods. Analyzing the words and sentences, the researchers were able to deduce that the left hand language was likely the extinct Amorite language, and the right side was the Akkadian equivalent. Amorite is a precursor to Hebrew, and until now our only knowledge of it was a handful of nouns. The information contained on the tablets blows that out of the water. “Our knowledge of Amorite was so pitiful that some experts doubted whether there was such a language at all,” the researchers told Live Science. But “the tablets settle that question by showing the language to be coherently and predictably articulated, and fully distinct from Akkadian.”
“Lift Every Voice & Sing” was written at a crucial time in American history, when Jim Crow was replacing slavery,and African-Americans were searching for an identity of their own. Author & activist James Weldon Johnson wrote the poem,his brother John Rosamond Johnson set to music.
The media’s framing of measures like Florida’s African American studies ban is a dangerous falsification of reality
A wave of Republican enthusiasm for banning concepts, authors and books is sweeping across the United States. Forty-four states have proposed bans on the teaching of “divisive concepts”, and 18 states have passed them.
This Valentine’s Day, show your love for librarians defending our right to read across the country.

Pence plans to resist special counsel subpoena in Jan. 6 probe.
Pence is looking really hard for reasons not to testify UNDER OATH & the more he does this, the more you have to wonder.
There is, perhaps, some principled reason to protect executive privilege. That isn’t what this is. This looks like someone who is afraid to testify. Pence wrote a book and has given multiple interviews about what he now claims is privileged. Former House counsel attorney Eric Columbus on VP Pence move to assert speech and debate clause for Jan. 6 subpoena: “Even if Congress’ role on 1/6 was legislative, the VP’s role was *not* — it was purely ministerial. Thus Speech or Debate shouldn’t shield him.” ~@hugolowell
Elon Musk is on team Putin, he’s on team GOP, he’s on team oligarch, he’s on team fascism, he’s on team greed, and he’s on team dumbass. It’s all the same team. Hunter Biden is a distraction: Republicans are deflecting for Jared Kushner
How about we leave church in church.
Church at the Super Bowl: Football, Jesus and fascism
The Super Bowl is more than a game; it is a metaphor for American life

I. AM. RUNNING.
You heard it here first! I am officially launching my campaign to unseat Lauren Boebert and restore dignity to #CO03 representation.
We lost by a mere 546 votes in ’22 — the closest race in the country — and know we can make that up in ’24.
