What do I think about the giant Cretaceous octopuses? - First that I'm delighted people are asking me 😁 - Second that WOW! Scientists used an amazing technique to discover HUGE fossil cephalopod beaks! 🤩 - Third that OH BOY do I have questions...🧵🧪🐙 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Did I have many important things to do this afternoon? Yes. Did I spend it drawing Nanimoteuthis haggarti? Also yes. 🐙🦑 #sciart

It’s been at least 45 minutes I’m very stoned This is so dumb and yet I kind of love it

Today is Narwhal Appreciation Day so if you haven't already please sign my petition to have their name changed to "tunacorns"

This is a pretty concerning graph! Hell's aquarium indeed.

This is wild: the authors find evidence for giant, macro-predatory octopuses in Late Cretaceous oceans that might max out at *62 feet long,* comfortably large enough to attack, kill and eat mosasaurs

For the record I am extremely pro octopus.

I hereby appoint myself COO (Chief Octopus Officer) of MTG at WOTC. This gives me the authority to break into planning sessions to deliver octopus facts, and to force @gavinverhey.bsky.social & @chriskmooney.bsky.social to include cool octopus cards in every set. I'll take my paychecks on Fridays.

ooo big stretch @fathomverse.bsky.social

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

SUCCESSFULLY MADE FRIENDS WITH THE FUNNY ENBY IN MY DND CAMPAIGN AUTISTS, THIS IS YOUR SIGN! JUST FUCKING GO FOR IT!!

Elemental tokens MTG: Secrets of Strixhaven AD: Sam Padilla

Got sent a press release for this awesome paper doi.org/10.1643/i202... by @anoplogaster.bsky.social and became instantly obsessed with the much-too-human face of the attached anglerfish photo (credit: Matthew Davis), so I had to give it a body

New #anime entry for the Historical #Dictionary of #ScienceFiction, published after a large amount of work: "Akira slide". Best we have is only 2009, despite the fact that there are visual homages from very soon after the 1988 movie; we'd welcome any antedatings! sfdictionary.com/view/2900/ak...

Yep.

the most important thing to do is have an animal that people associate you with so that they can send you pictures of the animal when they want to talk but they aren't sure what to say
