The jumble of bones looked like porridge. It turned out to be a new species of pterosaur preserved in prehistoric vomit, the latest fossil find extracted from dinosaur excretions. I’ll tell you more in my latest for NatGeo. 🧪
How dinosaur vomit has solved these prehistoric mysteries
A new pterosaur species was recently discovered in the vomit of a dino. But that's just the start of revelations from prehistoric excretions.

A Soviet-era joke:
A man stops by a newstand every day, reads the front page of the paper, and walks on. One day the vendor asks "comrade, why do you do this?"
"I'm looking for an obituary."
"But the obituaries are on page 9," says the vendor.
"The one I'm looking for will be on the front page."

The greatest gift one can give to the children this Christmas is teaching the timeless lesson of 忍辱负重 (rěnrǔ fùzhòng) - "endure humiliations & bear heavy burdens."

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t
