Continuing #dinocember! In the incorrect order!

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

You FUCKED UP, your LEFTY politics have ALIENATED the BILLIONAIRES who run the CHILD BONE EXTRACTION FACTORIES and now they will do a MASS EXODUS from your STATE or CITY. Don’t CRY to ME when you no longer see their CHILD CATCHING VANS in your STATE or CITY, YOU IDIOT

Extinction is forever. If we’re to have any hope for the future of nature, we have to learn to grieve. Experience, knowledge, culture, ways of being we can only now touch through tooth and bone, they cannot be replaced. My @slate.com essay on de-extinction is one of their top stories of the year.

apropos of nothing but i find it so distracting when it's really obvious that a show's writers personally dislike one of the characters lol

not too late for a flu shot btw, flu historically often peaks in february and by all accounts it is pretty bad this year

I still want to raise funds for Palestine Children's Relief Fund, so I've reduced the prices on these pieces because something is better than nothing! 100% of proceeds from these pieces goes straight to PCRF. ✨💖 I've got 3 birds left! shop.lioninthetrees.com/collections/... #art #pottery

A New Age of Reptiles: The Valentine Skiptoe Avian diversity in the New Age of Reptiles is truly staggering, exceeding our timeline in both morphological diversity and species count. Galloanserans are especially successful, occupying many niches taken by neoavians in our world. (1/9)

2025 palaeontology round-up 🧵 since it's nearly the end of the year, i thought i'd take the opportunity to share some of my favourite prehistoric animals named in 2025! from pterosaurs to turtles to whales, it's been a great year to be a paleonerd 🥰

If a company’s hiring sign says, “Come grow with us,” you’re about to do the job of roughly 3-5 people

Anyone with power/money/influence serious about women's safety needs to campaign/legislate against nudify apps, deepfakes, and slop avatars. Toxic masculinity and online radicalization have been fuelling misogyny for years. Now they have more tools. Fight these instead of monstrifying trans people.

And their objection isn’t that they have been compelled to make such an apology, because they never have. What they object to is that others feel the conviction to not only confess to racism’s crimes but seek to make reparation. What this tells us is that social pressure is extremely effective.

When you say that “only the sick kids die from the measles”… you’re telling sick and disabled people that they’re expendable. You’re telling them their lives don’t matter. That vaccinating to protect them is too high a price. That’s eugenics. Also, healthy kids die from measles too.

Along with the racist fake grievance of "apologizing for being white," there's also the fact that a bunch of white folks seem to believe (and/or are willing to suggest) that even acknowledging systemic advantages they get for being white is the equivalent of being "forced to apologize."

Every government basically: So we're doing quite a number of wars all at once and we need-- Every young person on earth, pretty much: No Every government, basically: Well what if we-- Every young person on earth, pretty much: NO

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend if it's Marjorie Taylor Greene.

One of my students this semester opined (without any prompting from me) that people who use AI to do their assignments are only cheating themselves.

they have designed these machines to simulate human agents and they are constantly pitching the idea that these machines really *are* agents, but when one of these machines kills a person they say “you can’t hold them to account, they’re just machines, read the instructions”

There is impossible wonder in the forests of city state Singapore. I find indescribable magic in the shiny eyes of this beautiful, peaceful Sunda Colugo.

I wonder if all the people concerned about the rise of antisemitism in the UK will have anything to say about the antisemitic caricature of Zack Polanski in the Mail today

A short break from the Mesozoic… here’s a European Homotherium latidens trying its hunting skills during the latest ice age some 12,000 years ago. #paleoart #sciart #prehistoricmammal

Why not, I'm not available to hire or commission (yet!) but it's #portfolioday, gaze upon my works and.. rejoice! I do #paleoart and as of recent, #mecha art.

Some people really do be like: "nah, our modern day image of dinosaurs is boring and stupid"...

Since Dinanomodon guoi is only known from a compele cranium, I using Turfanodon jiufengensis (a close-reletive taxon of Dinanomodon) as a reference to reconstruct its postcranial region.

A group of Dinanomodon guoi is feeding beside a stream. Nearby, two Moschowhaitsia lidaqingi, large carnivorous therocephalians, are looking for an opportunity to hunt. Across the stream, a pair of Turfanodon jiufengensis are resting.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

The only New Year’s resolutions you need: - haunt more forests - wander more moors - terrify more towns - draw more townsfolk towards their mossy doom with the awesome and terrible grandeur of your dark shambling form

It drives me nuts when a terrible person dies, and we are all supposed to pretend they were great, like telling the truth is somehow uncouth. Brigette Bardot was a truly despicable racist, homophobe, bigot, and lifelong supporter of fascists. Acknowledge her work, I guess, but don't celebrate her.

god even her court mandated apology for being racist is racist
