🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on. You know what to do: www.stopkosa.com

New post by me on #MITPressReader @mitpress.bsky.social On the 100th anniversary of the #ScopesMonkeyTrial the ways we depict #evolution can still give an erroneous progressive view (that evolution leads to humans or ‘increased complexity’). thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/is-our-pictu...

At some point the international community, not just protesters, will have to ENFORCE an end to coal, oil and eventually gas. By military means, if necessary. Why? To protect their national interests from an economy-destroying climate. When? Sooner than we think. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm surprised that more people haven't noted that PhPIA and Walking With had the same company doing the models.

Just for fun, here’s a thread of some of the new species I’d love to see if Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age gets another season: Mammut americanum! I’d love to see male mastodon in musth going at it, that would make a fantastic action-packed sequence to open or close an episode.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you’ve seen in the wild: Wild Turkey American Alligator Stingray Whitetail Deer Turkey Vulture

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

In another universe, americans would be eating not just Domestiv Turkeys, but also the extinct Californian turkey (Meleagris californica) and the Bigfoot Turkey, both from the American southwest.

A minor case: I liked Wicked for Good, but I should have seen either Rental Family, or Predator Badlands.

Just watched Life in Cold Blood's first ep because of a neat edit blending it with WWD, and holy crap thats the Truth About Killer Dinos' rex! Yes Moving Picture Company did effects for it, why'd you ask?

Thoughts on #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge noe that I have seen the first ep. + Amazing effects, whether CG or even practical. + Crisp cinematography, especially the cave scene' ise of night vision. - They never mention locations - The cave scene is a copy of Ice Age Giants'

This keeps popping up on my feed, and I have literally never thought that phrase implies that scientists are to blame. Like obviously the dark money thing is true, but it is in fact a good thing for scientists to take *responsibility* for improving trust.

An Anthropologist's perspecive on Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age after finishing it: Excluding humans is rewriting the Ice Age as a "Pristine world free of humans." This is damaging and simply incorrect. There are millennia of Indigenous interactions between humans and other species all erased here.

PLEASE NO SPOILERS I HAVENR SEEN IT YET

I shall be watching as soon as I can. #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge

The new #Thylacoleo article at Tetrapod Zoology - released to provide info relevant to #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge - already has nearly 20 reader comments... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/11... #marsupials #Pleistocene #IceAge

Does anyone know when the term "terror bird" was first invented? Walking with Beasts probably popularized it, but I doubt it originated from there. At the same time, I cannot picture paleontologists in the early 1900s using a nickname like "terror bird".

New video tomorrow!

The first of a paleoart series I'm calling "Perspectives," which aims to highlight the evolution of life on Earth with a variety of different creatures and styles. This one is "Pale First Dot," depicting good ol' LUCA, the last universal common ancestor. #sciart #paleoart #paleontology

The Ward Scientific Company sold these Rhomaleosaurus casts to various museums starting in 1866 (for $150). The original at the National Museum of Ireland was broken up with sledgehammers during a move in the 1920s. #FossilFriday

As much as I love to see new natural history museums, considering it's Abu Dhabi, hard pass. Definitely ad human rights violations being built.

It has been almost two weeks since anyone has donated to this again Ideally I would like to meet this goal by the end of the year; my mom is starting to give up hope Pls consider donating and sharing throne.com/obsessor/ite... [ #helpsky #fundraiser #Throne #mutualaid ]

Be weary of the beardogs! These swift pack hunters are not to be taken lightly. New update (backers only) posted to our Kickstarter! Link in thread

My thoughts are this: 1. I'm cautiously optimistic for how it turns out, but considering LOOP's weakest prehistoric portions are widely considered the Mesozoic ones as opposed to the Cenozoic and especially the Paleozoic ones, I feel its going to be lesssr then LOOP, even when it wasn already not

The sequel series to Life on our Planet's name has been reveales. Iiiiitttttttt'ssssssssss "The Dinosaurs" Boy, what a generic title. I sure hope is just a placeholder and we get something more, even "Life on our Planet: The Dinosaurs" would be better.

Have learnt from Andrea Cau that French palaeontologist Philippe Taquet died yesterday, aged 85. Taquet published a substantial amount on north African and French #dinosaurs, including Ouranosaurus, spinosaurids, the dromaeosaurid Pyroraptor and much more.

say it with me, cat owners: BIG STRETCH! #prehistoricplanet

Raise your hand if as a kid you wanted the Eosapiens exterminated for destroying Ike.

Read the book at my library, loved it. Just imagine an update of it, covering 2000s and 2010s or even 20s stuff.

As an author, it can be hard to tell if #books you've done have had any impact. Partly this is because you generally get minimal feedback, and partly it's because you don't ever see enough money to feel any sort of reward. In 2009, I published The Great Dinosaur Discoveries with A&C Black... cont

My cabbages! An aurochs has broken into a vegetable garden. While curious kids and domesticated cattle watch, a courageous farmer attempts to chase it away. This scene takes place in Poland around 1400 AD. Digital painting by Peter Nickolaus, 2025.

It's not just ambition on climate action that's being run down, but nature. Planet Earth is in the fight of its life and, on balance, those of us who are its allies are losing. It's our duty to work out why, and act on it. share.google/N0QU31GX4Znw...

Mainstream palaeoart often seems lily-white in terms of the diversity of its contributors. But pieces of palaeoart that rank among the -MOST SEEN- works in the entire field were examples of black craftsmanship. This week came news on the passing of Garfield G. Minott (1966-2025)... cont

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them to oppose KOSA, STOP CSAM and the SCREEN Act and tell them to protect Section 230.

When you really need to listen to Indigenous peoples: “We can’t eat money… We want our lands free from agribusiness, oil exploration, illegal miners and illegal loggers.” An exemplar of #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs.

A pair of American Mastodon chow down on a (slightly fantastical) pumpkin patch 🍂✨️ #sciart #paleoart

RIP to him. Man, it really sucks there are so frw Black Palaeoartists like him.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Random Dinosaur doc I found out about yesterday: Dinosaurs: A Story of Survival. Its a spanish production for younger audiences about a little girl being taken through the world of dinosaurs, for planetariums. While evidently made for the under 10 crowd, i find it a decent palaeodoc, elevated by
