Rather unexpectedly, a paper of mine has just dropped. Say hello to Makrodactylus, a new early monofenestratan from southern Germany. This was published with Rene and Bruce Lauer (www.lauerfoundationpse.org) and Freddie Spindler. palaeo-electronica.org/content/2025...

i need a day off, catch me on discord if you wanna ✌️

all of these ppl are nonces aren’t they?

100% chance that the people complaining about being asked not to share embargoed material are the same people who went feral when avengers spoilers were leaked early

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Number of Migrants Known to Have Been Disappeared By the Trump Regime Rises From 450 to 1,200 in Just the Last 24 Hours; True Number Could Be Many Times Higher

Jesse Watters just called for the bombing of the UN on national television. FCC? Nothing? Crickets? Got it.

To a great degree we’re dealing with the fallout from a generation of men who got lucky once during a specific moment in tech evolution, made to feel as gods, but are all now suffering their mid-life crises having accomplished nothing else of note. These men have made nothing other than money.

seems to me the main reason bluesky has a lot of desperately unhappy people freaking out about politics and world affairs on it instead of being like twitter was in the middle of the last decade is that you are using and discussing it in 2025 instead of in the middle of the last decade

No wonder they were eager to stop cancellations of subscriptions over Jimmy Kimmel.

New crowdfunding campaign funding science just dropped! Spread it, share it, donate! experiment.com/projects/rea...

sorry didn’t you literally just bomb them in the middle of the ocean and then high-five about it

“Even though it was awkward and not the right time in the political cycle” 🤔

Politicians and cops spinning narratives, the media uncritically parroting the narratives, and the social media and streaming algorithms making it so a magnitude of people never see anything to the contrary means a whole lot of truth never being heard

thank you so much to everyone who has shown me support @ ko-fi, ko-fi.com/wwxwashere or sent me messages with comfort/advice. it means A LOT to me right now. hopefully this passes soon 🩷

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS, by @deanrlomax.bsky.social & illustrated by @bobnichollsart.bsky.social, is OUT NOW! The book tour will include events across the UK, USA, Canada, & Europe; starting at the Oxford Museum of Natural History on Friday, 10 Oct 2025. #PaleoArt #SciArt #Dinosaurs #Birds

this is amazing.

Peter Thiel giving lectures about the antichrist is just another illustration of the fact that the most dangerous thing about billionaires is that they exist in a world where nobody tells them their stupid ideas are stupid and are therefore prone to inflict their stupid ideas on all of us.

A new giant project on diplodocoids! When finished, it will provide a look into the anatomy, diversity and phylogeny of these long necked dinosaurs. They just started a crowd funding campain, so if you want to see this project realized consider donating. experiment.com/projects/rea...

Nowhere in DHS Cosplayer Noem’s statement would you know that ALL of the victims of today’s shooting were actually detainees. Not a single ICE officer was injured. Do we know the motive? No. Has that stopped Noem from leaping to conclusions & weaponizing the attack against political enemies? No.

look what i got 👀 @deanrlomax.bsky.social @bobnichollsart.bsky.social

Much as I want to try to scrute the often inscrutable ideologies of our politically notable murders, I think the media should stop reporting stuff written on bullets/guns. Want people to react to your short political shiposts? That's what social media is for! Murder shouldn't be a clout hack.

Seems like if several ubiquitous health care interventions cause autism, we should really be studying those freaks who ended up neurotypical.

New octopus just dropped (and the article didn't even use a horrible AI image 😯) 🦑 🐙 www.earth.com/news/new-gia...

And remember, the reason he wanted separate vaccines wasn't due to any science, but because *he'd filed a patent application for a single measles vaccine*. It was just grifting.

For-profit age-verification providers are now pushing for "continuous biometric monitoring" — AI scans of your face, your voice, your behavior — while you're online to protect children. Every session. Every website. Every keystroke. Monitored and recorded.

sorry for being problematic I will try to get worse

remember how politicians and journos just lied and lied and lied about trans healthcare and created the space for doubt by talking constantly about the need for clarity as if the science weren’t settled already

Also worth clarifying: no ICE agents were injured and were not even targets. Do not let them spin this.

No, supporting trans rights doesn’t cost elections! “43 percent of voters were more likely to vote for a candidate who stands up for transgender people. Just 21 percent of voters would be less likely to support a candidate who supports trans rights.”

i look foward to elon musk claiming this is a trans person and the entire british media class jus going along with it.

It is officially soup season 🎨 Emily Duffin

To be against genocide in Gaza means we have to oppose the structural oppression of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism at the root of ongoing genocides in Sudan, Congo, and Tigray. No one is free until all of us are free. Free Palestine. Free Sudan. Free Congo. Free Tigray.

Today is National Bluebird of Happiness Day! Do you have any bluebirds to share? #NationalBluebirdOfHappiness #birds 🪶

Congratulations to the flag-waving nationalists for making the very best and brightest feel even less welcome than they already did. Your dream of a regressive, uneducated monoculture gets a little closer every day. I hope it chokes you. I stand with Natalia, and I’d appreciate it if others did too.

Very suspicious. I hate it. Bring me back to my heat lamp.

We have exported our greatest domestic product: stupidity

The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this. I don’t view it as a Me problem.

I love how they couldn't cut and paste this one direct from the USA without adding local flavour to make it even more bootlicky than Ohio's version of the same lie, because in order to truly scare and offend British nationalists it can't be their own pets in danger, it has to be the king's pets lol

this archetype remains undefeated

Zavacephale, just a little domeheaded fellow

BREAKING: Further confirmation that the shooter targeted immigrant detainees, not #ICE agents. All three #shooting victims were people ICE was holding and processing at the center. The shooter died of a self inflicted would and has been described as a white male www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-...

quick reminder that i have no access to DMs 😅 blame the uk government, not me

Blaming autism on women taking Tylenol while pregnant is just another example of Conservative Christian Republicans blaming women for the problems of the world. It’s a story as old as Adam and Eve. And it’s 🐂💩
