Great way of starting your WOMEN IN SCIENCES day by tuning in (in half an hour) to this panel on Women (+) in PalaeoArt. Regisrter extinctfineart.com/online-events/

Some 60 years ago, a doggo got away from owner and ran down the landing part of the ski jump in Oslo, Holmenkollen, much to the amusement of the spectators that the dog reappeared several years, and other dogs later got the role to "run the hill", and even got a memorial statue for anyone to see.

because people keep asking what fish hell is, here's a quick visual sample of my suffering

Haolong is so cool

Well, after a lot of struggle with image formats and my own embarrassment, I have made A BOOK (well, it's a PDF, let me have my moment) about the sauropods of the Iberian Peninsula. Links at the end of the thread

Barreleye Fish (Opisthoproctus soleatus). Jelly for brains. Jelly in front of brains? Idk. Have wanted to make this guy for a looooong time. Good experiment. Great deep sea fish.

Dareh Gregorian, who helped cover up Epstein's crimes by vilifying and mocking a trans girl victim who came forward in 2007, is currently writing about Epstein for NBC News.

Bringing this back up for the International Day of Women in Science, and yes, I consider scientific art, as part of scientific process and communication 🫰

Archaeocursor asiaticus for #DrawDinosDaily here taking a sit-down from all the running. I added the little head portrait after I decided I wanted to get deeper into speculative head wattles for this guy. Ornamentation like that is common in modern cursorial birds. 🎨🪶 #SciArt #PaleoArt

It is International Day of Women in Science! For this ocassion, a thread on influential women that illustrate prehistoric life🧵 Marta Szubert. Creator of one of the first to-scale feathered dinosar models (1997). If you've been to Poland or Slovakia, you've probably seen her models on display.

Terrible situation out of Tumbler Ridge, a town of 2500 people in northeastern B.C., where an active shooter at a high school is now dead. We'll be updating this page with information as we confirm it.

Palaeoart, on paper, should not have the same systemic barriers of academia, ergo, be quite diverse. There's no staff hierarchy, lower financial barriers, most is online ergo relatively decentralised. And yet, looking at available stats, palaeoart is as bad as paleontological academia. Why?

well, there's been a school shooting in upper BC where my grandparents live. they're safe, and the shooter is dead, but I'm hearing 25 people were shot and 9 or so people are dead so far. it's just hitting the news now. you just never really know until it's right next to you huh

My favourite element of Hong Kong, is that, within less than an hour, you can go from the most densely populated region on the planet, to uninhabited kilometres worth of dense subtropical jungle. 📍Plove Cove Country Park

The discourse is about. People speaking Spanish (a settler colonial European language, like English) And that Puerto Ricans aren't American, huge news, even Venezuelans are American. It's a continent. Puerto Rico is a territory belonging to the US. This is literally THE discourse.

Whale evolution makes me uncomfortable

Dinosaurs 🦕

Dismissed because of jurisdictional confusion, it should be stressed, rather than any new revelation that would discredit the survivors of sexual assault who have come forward.

For these inside US information loop, presence in the files has led to investigations, resignings, firings and possible collapse of political parties across Europe, which is still too little too late. Weird only thing I see on US side, is discourse about *checks notes* Super Bowl?

Do people feel comfortable around the rich? Seriously. If I learn someone went to a fee-paying private school or earns six figures equivalent in dollars (in threshold to be within national/international 1%), the only thing I will talk about at them, ad nauseam, is socioeconomic inequality.

Purussaurus....

Phrases like "Lessons we must learn" etc get right on my chebs. Why must our lives repeatedly be reduced to educational materials for the so-called political elite.

Zack Polanski demands Palantir be removed from £240m NHS data contract — awarded without tender. Links to Peter Mandelson + serious concerns over surveillance & data misuse. “The stench of corruption runs through this government.” Urges Wes Streeting to ditch the deal.

10 y.o. Mykhailo and his mother were killed by a russian drone in their home in Bohodukhiv near Kharkiv. russia made it their mission to murder as many Ukrainians as they can. Our mission is to protect the innocent from their barbaric attacks: u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Good to see solar and onshore wind coming in a lot cheaper than offshore here. They are by some distance the cheapest new electricity generation capacity we can build in Britain.

I think if Professor Challenger had brought that thing back from the lost world I'd have asked if he had anything else in the crate.

DinoCon with a more prompt response to academics complicit in sexual abuse than uh, the entirety of academia.

Reposted with alt text for people with screen readers - this is a welcome departure from how certain large organizations are handling revelations that high-profile members associated with and accepted money from Epstein and his organization, _AFTER 2008_ when he was convicted for soliciting a minor.

YouTube just terminated PlainSite's YouTube channel, which posted certain Epstein Files video directly as provided by the government, because doing so purportedly violated YouTube's "spam, deceptive practices and scams" policy. For real. Providing the Epstein Files is a "scam" according to Google.

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Happy #PortfolioDay! My name's Hayden and stylized creature modeling is my specialty. I am eternally fascinated by those who lived before us. I'll be available for work this coming August! [ #paleoart | #3Dart | #art ] ✉️: [email protected] 🔗: fossillad123.carrd.co

I cannot abide this wanton cruelty to ceratopsians

Jeremy Corbyn’s “Peace and Justice Project” have just memoryholed Noam Chomsky out of existence and purged mentions of him from their website.

Shocked to hear that Noam Chomsky is a deeply unpleasant person. Who could have guessed it.

i’ve known about STOs glowing pink for ages but never bothered to check for myself with hannibal. since i finally got a uv light to check my specimens i figured i’d take a couple seconds to peek at dolarhyde

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
