If you ever time travel I would think twice about visiting Germany during its early Triassic hothouse phase. Pretty extreme post-apocalyptic Pangean setting. OTOH, the outcrops, museum displays, books. Definitely do that. Thumbs up. www.researchgate.net/profile/Chri...

Made the pilgrimage to Knockan Crag for the first time Here 1 billion year old Moine rock has been thrust up and out of the Earth during the collision of Scotland and England over 400 million years ago, forcing it to slide and sit atop younger 500 million year old Durness limestone! Geology rocks!

I'm the kinda person who will work with Plutonium isotopes & then you ask me some super obvious question to which I can only stare like a deer caught in the headlights unable to answer.

Good morning✌️🍀

Alvy from Lust Shards, oh my heartstrings

Increasingly convinced that the reason American culture makes fun of the French so much is that if we took them seriously for 2 seconds we might learn a thing or two about how to get shit done

Adding my voice to the chorus: the Sumud flotilla never entered Israeli waters. that is a lie. The Gazan coast is Palestinian territory (not even spiritually, like actually in international law) so the Sumud flotilla has not violated Israeli sovereignty. The Israelis intercepting them however…

It’s going to take a lot of time and money for the next Democratic president’s administration to remove all this tacky crap.

BOCKTOBER!!!! GOATS WOOHOO

Started Tears of the Kingdom again and I still have a theory that Toby Fox showed everyone how thirsty people are for goat furries and Nintendo was like “we gotta get in on that”

The people running Bluesky actively hate their users.

You wanna know why we're trying to get Bluesky mods' attention though comments, feedbacks, and App store ratings over their new policy? This is why. Even with media that's not even for adults, they label it for adults anyway. This will affect a lot of people, not just nsfw art. #bskycensorship

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

I don't know how many "me and who"s I have left in me

Bruh I was curious what actually got said so I googled Emma Watson and it's just a flood of headlines about how Rowling epicly owns ignorant 35 year old child for not hating trans people. Our media sucks so bad.

It's Bocktober my dudes

it's exhausting to watch people go "this is not my america" or "surely it won't get that bad" or whatever like bro in 1964 James Brock dumped acid on people in his pool, people poured concrete in pools in response to the civil rights act so black people couldn't swim. 60 years ago.

I think more people enjoy complex women protagonists in video games than a few divorced YouTubers would have you believe

Random thing but I hope it is or becomes common practice to also ask artists what they like drawing when commissioning them. It makes sense to me that if you want to get art of something you don't just look at the average quality of a gallery, but also if the guy you want to draw sth likes the thing

Me feeding my chud son Tylenol so she can be the biggest bird nerd to plague this world

When it comes to trying to remove “all” politics from games as Roblox is doing, I’m reminded of Robert Yang’s fucking _excellent_ article about his game “We Dwell in Possibility” www.blog.radiator.debacle.us/2021/07/we-d...

I make no attempts at writing academically with a 300 characters limit per-post. I'm going towards 10 years of limits like that fundamentally not lending themselves to that idea - it's for short-form posting & conversations.

If you profit off of making anti-fascist games, games about revolution or killing Nazis, then you should be loud as fuck and making a bunch of noise right now. A lot of folks making money off of the vibes, but refraining from walking the walk.

Y'all I found the wildest stuff in this video. The oldest evidence of trans stuff on Cyprus is from over 9000 years ago. We're not only older than every religion, we're thousands of years older than the very first centralized state in history. We existed before gov't. We will exist after it.

September 29, 1998, died on this day Swiss petrologist and mineralogy teacher Albert Streckeisen. The Quartz - Alkali feldspar - Plagioclase - Feldspathoids diagram (short QAPF - diagram) for the classification of igneous rocks is also known as "Streckeisen diagram" in his honor.

The AfD qualified for three mayoral run-offs in cities in North Rhine-Westphalia today, and lost all by big margins. The lesson is not that we have overdone the AfD's rise, but that we do perhaps sometimes underestimate the counter-mobilisation effects - including in east Germany, incidentally.

Rust always wins. Oxygen comes for us all eventually.
