Hello to new and familiar faces!
In my old life, I was a vertebrate palaeontologist who studied fossilized bird and dinosaur footprints.
Now, I work as a remote medical scribe for a podiatry clinic. I do #BirdGlamour a #scicomm project where I create makeup looks based on birds and other critters!🐡

I had a joke about the Alaudidae, but it's really just a lark.
I had a joke about Arachne but I got it all tangled up.
I THOUGHT I had a joke about Tantalus, but it was just a tease.

Okay! Seems like there's some interest in healthy peets! I'll add to this thread as things pop up at work and I go "Oh yeah! That's generally useful!"

I know I typically do humorous (to me, anyway) podiatry typos, but would there be any interest in a thread of general good foot care advice?

Immediately thought of "Lexx" (Canadian-German production)!
I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

My experience with Ruffed Grouse is that unlike their “heart attack bird” cousins, the Sharp-tailed Grouse, they just walk around like they own the place (which they do) #birds 🌿

Time to start the betting pool on how long my new fancy mug/holiday gift will survive my general Me-ness of being the reason I can't have nice things.

AI is like this giant fucking boat we all were forced to get on, and it's a boat they stole, and also it barely floats, and also it's not going anywhere good. So it either takes us somewhere we hate, or it fucking sinks, so either way, fuck AI.
So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?
It’s amazing how this story has gone from 0 to 60 in UK press. There’s been no mainstream coverage to date but this morning the story is leading BBC News site & bulletins.
