They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

My next #Geology of the #NationalParks Through Pictures is for the John D Rockefeller Fr Memorial Parkway. A small park bridging #Yellowstone and #GrandTeton NPs. More info: www.thegeologypage.com/2013/07/geol...

Don’t mind the giant pile of dirt but the stairs/wall has finally reached the top! Now to work my way down finishing up the wall and adding capstones and steps. Also cleaning up lots of dirt. #backyardmakeover #poolinstallation

Trump should take an extended vacation to St Helena.

I haven’t said this in a while, but it bears repeating. Fuck you all who voted for this

It can’t be stated enough that Charlie Kirk was not a good person. I never wished him dead. But he was not a good person.

Color me surprised that those on the right, those by FAR more guilty of violent crimes, not even close, are looking to silence the left. I did n*zi that coming. Maybe if the SC had some balls they’d actually reign in the terrorists holding our government hostage www.commondreams.org/news/stephen...

Next up on my #Geology writing the next part of my Geology of the #NationalParks Through Pictures series where we are looking at our move across country in 2021 and the NPs we visited. First up is Grand Teton National Park. More: www.thegeologypage.com/2013/07/geol...

In the acknowledgement section of science papers it often said “comments and suggestions by so-and-so greatly improved this paper.” Has anyone ever said in an actual scientific paper “comments by so-and-so were essentially useless and were largely ignored, much to the betterment of the paper”?

My heart goes out the students and faculty, along with my many friends at UVU, my former place of employment. That is a great school and while abhorrent I’m thankful that the violence was not worse and more people were not injured. My most heartfelt wellwishes to those dealing with this tragedy.

“But ... I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

Now that my winter project is done I can move on to my summer project, the never ending pool wall. The last 2 days I spent digging out the upper wall from the winter dirt collapse and just concreted in another set of steps today. #backyardmakeover #poolinstallations #diyprojects

Buuullllllllsssshhhhhhiiiiitttttttttt Fires BLS Commissioner then all the sudden last years estimates were almost a million people lower than they should have been. 🤣😂🤣😂. Let’s cook the books. abcnews.go.com/Business/us-...

I designed a shirt based on Mary Anning’s seminal plesiosaur drawing. The plesiosaur wraps across the front of the baseball jersey and is designed to work with the shirt either buttoned up or open. Mary’s signature is then splayed across the back. paleocarnkreations.etsy.com/listing/4365...

Jumping back to some of my science writings, I have my next entry for my “Dinosaurs!: From Cultural to Pop Culture” series. This time is distinctly NOT a dinosaur, however it is a very significant paleontological event that it needed to be included…

Thanks to bumblefuck in the WH I can’t afford to fix my fucking car 😫 #tariffs

My next #100GreatestBook Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Rushdie is a melding of Rushdie’s style with Lewis Carol and Dr Seuss and not for the betterment of the story. I imagine this was included because they didn’t want to include Rushdie’s more popular work. dinojim.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-...

There is not a brain cell currently being fired. #husky #huskylife

I also made a Timelapse of my constructing the autistic panels (not real acoustic, just looks like them) because I thought it would look cool. #homerenovation #homeremodel #diyprojects

Workout room update: I had built 2 custom closet doors with hidden slider systems so that they will slide back and forth without any hardware showing. The wife also wanted them to look like acoustic panels so I custom built those as well. #homerenovations #homeremodel #basementremodel

Please keep this floofball in your thoughts. There’s nothing wrong with her, she just wants you know know that she is cute, and you should think about her. #husky #huskylife

My next #100Greatestbooks is #191 - Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie. A view of India’s independence with a fantasy lens. Overall it left me a little unfulfilled but I think that was purposeful. I did rather enjoy Rushdie’s writing style. A recommend. dinojim.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...

One single person has done more to damage our country in the history of this country than any other person who ever lived. Even Bin Laden could never have done as much damage as this blowhard has done.

Right now I’m voting for congestive heart failure

Get the shovel! I’m going gold mining in the backyard. #rainbow #countryliving

Doing the fair right #NYSFair

Went to my annual dr appt and had my eyes tested. They have notably been getting worse and I always feel they are a lot worse than what they say my vision is. Read this line. Read it fine as far as I’m aware. Lady comes back and says I have 20/20 and I say oh, because I can read the line 2 below …

I don’t know 1 single solitary Republican who even follows the Flag Code but sure, pass a clearly unconstitutional EO AGAIN that was literally the subject of a Supreme Court case NOT EVEN THAT LONG AGO!

Oh I so want to go down to Florida and paint a crosswalk in a rainbow so bad.

Dear Costco, when I said I wish you had those jumbo pretzels still, this was NOT what I meant 😂🤣😂 #costco #pretzels

This is the face of a hundred year old woman who let a dude flop around on top of her because their species is critically endangered and he might be the last man on earth. (9 babies born at the Philly Zoo, Western Santa Cruz Galapagos Tortoises.)

This is a perennial favorite memory #parenthood

We are joined by @claytonsandell.com, co-author of Star Wars Timelines. We talk about his work within the franchise, Star Wars Journalism, and we delve into the topic of mental health and his discussions with Jake Lloyd and his mother. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #StarWars #StarWarsPodcast

I never posted that I got to visit with one of the most famous rocks in America. #Love #PlymouthRock #Geology #RangerSaidThisGraniteFormedFromAVolcano🤦‍♀️

Oh fine, you can lick the ice cream container. #huskylife

There’s paleontology at the grocery store!!! Kleenex has released these back to school packs with 4 different paleo themed boxes complete with paleo knowledge bites and labeled cartoon drawings of some prehistoric creatures. HT to @paleosarah.bsky.social #Dinosaurs #Paleontology

The next president (god willing) should immediately fire everyone hired by the current dipshit in chief. And that’s going back to the first round too. Fire the Supreme Court justices as number 1 priority.

It was Hawaiian shirt day at the vet. #huskylife #husky #pitsky

Want to know how hard this new NYS Regents Earth Science exam is? My daughter is taking a review class to take it next week and she just called me into the class to explain one of the questions because the teacher didn’t know how to do it. And this was one of the sample questions.

The term for this is my favorite geology word: jökulhlaup - meaning a glacial outburst flood. #geology

This was fun to do! Thanks so much for letting me ramble on about imaginary galaxies!

We are talking the Galaxy Map with longtime galactic atlas supporter and Star Wars author @jasoncfry.bsky.social. We talk about his work helping to get an updated Galaxy Map uploaded to the current Star Wars website (1) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #StarWars

I’ve never done a “live edge” anything before but this window ledge turned out pretty good I think. Still need to stain and finish it up but not bad. #basementremodel #homerenovation

One of my (Jim’s) SW projects is a timeline of all entries within the SW Universe. This new update has over 300 new entries and I reworked the BBY/ABY year markers to better align with Timelines. starwarstimelinealmanac.com/SWCanon.html #StarWars

The one thing about the firing of the BLS Commissioner that I don’t see much people mention is that not only was the July job reports bad but both May and June were atrocious after they were fixed. May report revised down 144,000 to 19,000, June report revised down 147,000 to 14,000

I love suggestions for how to hang a door in a new jamb where 95% of them all say “just buy a pre-hung door”. Yea, but then I don’t get the cool door I want. And while this is the 2nd time finagling a new door, I’d still like some guidance. But I almost got it. #homerenovation #basementremodel

My next #100GreatestBook is The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford. A stream of conscious 1st person narrative about couple friends in the 1910’s that turns sour resulting in many deaths. The time jumps made following the plot harder but overall the story was ok. dinojim.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...

This is a project long in the making trying to clean up some of the clutter in my daughter’s room and showcase her playbills. It took many months of on and off working and everyone contributed to the design and final product and I think it came out pretty good. #Broadway #CollectibleDisplay

Workout room getting closer. The wife painted it while I was away then we put the floor in between and just after our vacation. #homerenovation #homeremodel

Salem has some of the most fantastic little tea shops as well. The sales person at @diehlmarcus.bsky.social was absolutely amazing and so very helpful! #Tea
