I love when giveaways have a no-purchase-necessary entry method but they try to make it hard by making it hand written

I must have watched this 15 times now with no sign of slowing down

Core memories from 1995:

Do it with higher walls. You should not be able to see the ghosts and they should not be able to see you. Just turn a corner and surprise!

Happy Mothers Day to this Oviraptor mama that died protecting her clutch of eggs from a falling sand dune back during the late Cretaceous. It was found in 1994 in Mongolia.

How’s my friends in Alberta doing? Seems like you’ve got a bunch of things going on

Digging themselves a pretty deep canyon.

Star Wars be like: Here’s a moon sized space station that can destroy planets! Here’s an even bigger space station that can destroy planets! Here’s a planet that can destroy planets! Here’s a fleet of ships that can destroy planets!

the only winning move is to stop treating this like a game you can win

All this talk of Hantavirus is making me think of packrats

Canadaspis perfecta gathering to mate and moult in the Cambrian-age Burgess Shale. In layer -350 of the Walcott Quarry (Phyllopod Bed), Canadaspis gathered in such great concentrations that one slab of shale, roughly 1 square metre in area, was covered in over 700 individuals.

Ugh I thought this was a legit account but it’s just another bot

Hey @agatesfrommexico.bsky.social I’ve got some special Lagunas

Coworker: I've got a weird request. I'm craving chocolate, bacon, and ice cream. Me: you'll have to travel back in time to 2012 when you could get that, but congrats on being pregnant. Cw: what? I'M NOT PREGNANT Me:

I can't stop thinking about this video since I saw it last night

Note: Virginia supreme court justices are "re-elected" by state lawmakers, meaning the legislature chooses whether to reappoint them or replace them. Two of the four justices in the majority today against the new congressional map will be "up" by early 2028.

This is one of those "wait for it" things: simulation of the #TracyArm landslide tsunami by Pat Lynett for our paper that came out this week in @science.org. This one is from the vantage point of a jetski at sea level. 🧪⚒️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

Always stop and read the walls in off-world science facilities where something has gone terribly wrong.

Hmmm, on my baby stroller I saw a bee messing in holes near part of the handle and then this happened

Oh hey I was on a team that named a fossil grasshopper after him www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I prefer the pet theory that the Odyssey took place in the Caribbean after they were blown out of the straits of Gibraltar

There’s a wild post on a FB Wyoming rockhounding where a person found a partial 18” long ornithischian dinosaur skeleton and didn’t know it. On the advice of others they’ve reported it to proper authorities

In other words, this landslide tsunami was ENORMOUS. Here is a simulation, coupled with a drone video.

So what's the mineral? It's Enstatite (Mg2Si2O6), but in this case it's from the meteorite Sebkha el Melah 001 (SeM 001), an aubrite meteorite found in Mali in 2022. Its one of the wilder looking meteorites that looks like Earth rock and also the mineral Enstatite is found on Earth too.

OK no this post is missing the entire context I've seen with it before. Sheep ankle bones were used as tokens in games in that area, still are. The more bones, the better you were at the games. This girl was an *amazing* player and was buried with her loot/high score.

Live - Lightning Crashes - 1994 My favorite song that uses the word placenta. Maybe the only song I know that uses that word. youtu.be/xsJ4O-nSveg?...

Alright, time to break out the writing muscles again

Posted the exam instead of the study guide...time to rewrite an exam.

In 1914, workers in a German basalt quarry in Oberkassel found the buried remains of two humans: an older man, young woman, dated to 14,000 yrs old. In the grave with them were the bones of a dog or wolf. To be accurate, we know now there were 2 dogs. Let's talk about the 'Bonn–Oberkassel dog(s)'

Hey #fishsky, anybody know what kind of fish these might be? They are in the biology classroom fish tank at the local high school and our kid tried to ID them with iNaturalist and such and got nothing. No scale but they are 3-4” long.

Caught a bot!

Ugh, I hate sites that charge inactivity fees, time to withdraw my money @predictit.bsky.social

I read somewhere recently that working in a professional kitchen with gas stoves and deep fryers is similar to being in a garage with a running car inside it, but there's a window or two down. I wonder if the 45,000 hours or so I've spent doing that is affecting my mental lack of health.

Alright geologists and mineralogists: let’s play guess the mineral!
