A human and conure, trying to survive. Both of us ostensibly he/him, but the human would rather be an incorporal ball of intellect, like a Star Trek energy being.

Imgur famous, apparently, due to daily meme dumps.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Dimetrodon is honestly one of the coolest creatures ever and deserves more recognition

It’s tangential to his relationship with Epstein, but remember Jack Horner rose to fame by claim jumping Marion Brandvold. She found Egg Mountain and the baby Maiasaura, loaned them to Jack, and had to sue to get them back - returned in 2004.
Dinosaur dispute settled; bones returned to woman who found them

One thing I keep thinking about is how Hereward the Wake was just a messy party boy until William’s thugs messed with his family.

Then he launched a rebellion and nearly brought down the House of Normandy.

Okay so a D&D campaign where the party is primarily a group of Surveyors sent out to perform the first known geological survey of Faerûn would be a lot of fun.

(1) Long 🧵 Time.
Today we learned that paleontologist Jack Horner (the same guy who helped give us "Jurassic Park") is in the Epstein Files. As a paleontologist, I feel compelled to say something because this touches my field and I want to make my stance clear on this...

Very special #FossilFriday, pleased to announced that we have a new paper out on reconstructing the ecosystem of Dry Mesa Quarry in the Morrison Formation

We used modern ecological techniques to quantity and model the ecosystem

It'll be interesting to see how certain media outlets cover this, I think
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Funnily, this 18th century drawing misinterpreted by European naturalists, with time, resembles an actual Chinese "chimera-like" bird-line dinosaurs, the scansoriopterygids.

made this forever ago, it doesn't distinguish between "people who like lore" and "people who use knowledge of lore to claim they are better fans", and it should have 👍

Whenever someone remarks that any given bird 'looks like a dinosaur,' I need you to understand the monumental restraint it requires for me not to immediately reply like a smartypants with 'that's because it _is_ one.'

Excited to share our new investigation of Prototaxites!
We found no support for a fungal affinity and instead suggest it is best considered an entirely extinct complex eukaryotic lineage
Great team effort @transitionalform.bsky.social Corentin Loron, and many others!

I'm sorry, doing the right thing is going to require a modicum of moral courage, and these motherfuckers manifestly don't have it. You don't need to feel bad for them. They can all eat shit, and I hope they have nightmares about what they're doing until their dying day.

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

@patrickwyman.bsky.social are you going to do any book signing events in Arizona? Especially in Phoenix or parts further north?

(If you do, I promise to show up in either my Bronze-age garb or Scythian garb, your choice.)
