art of simocyon in a tree
a photo of simocyon's lower jaw and teeth
happy #fossilfriday! bonus: this is simocyon, a puma-sized carnivore from the miocene and pliocene that was related to red pandas. like red pandas, simocyon had a wrist bone called a radial sesamoid, which functioned as a false thumb to aid in a semi-arboreal lifestyle

Vector illustration of Indohyus indirae, a raccoon sized artiodactyl closely related to whales. This small unassuming ungulate has long legs, a long snout, a thick tail and small hooved feet. It is dark brown with an olivey yellow rump. The animal is seen walking with a lotus leaf in its mouth

My problem with modern gaming - modern tech, products, services, anything really - is that you aren't the customer.
You are a user. A consumer.
The actual customers are the investors & business guys. And I think that's f* up.
I'm guessing it's a bc of American exceptionalism. They can't possibly be criticised for their actions, bc they're a special little guy, and the greatest country on Earth. Plus the inability to separate themselves from their country, so any critique of the state feels like a personal attack
I hope Keir Starmer wakes up covered in caterpillars and there are so many caterpillars, he’s telling his wife he doesn’t even know where the caterpillars came from but she’s SO angry at him for the caterpillars and when he tries to eat breakfast caterpillars pour out of his stupid cornflakes box.
Kobo, please, just let me turn on the dark mode when I'm actually reading in the app. What even is the point if I get my retinas blasted into high heaven the moment I open a book?
A screenshot from a YouTube video, showing a close up on the head of an ancient fish Andreolepis. The fish is covered in silvery scales, has a sort of rounded head, a slightly opened wide mouth full of smallish sharp teeth, and a round, light blue eye giving it a bit of a shell-shocked expression.
Andreolepis has seen horrors beyond its comprehension.
Right? It's one of those "if you wrote this in a book, your editor would tell you you're a bit heavy handed". Just mind-boggling.
Screenshot showing a picture of soldie5rs with a text overlay saying "watchdog says us troops were told Iran war 'anointed by jesus' to bring on Armageddon". There's a part of a post displayed above the graphic saying "Us commanders from every arm of the military have told their units that the war on Iran..."
So, like, at what point do they realise that they are, in fact, the bad guys here? Like, you'd think that "oh, we're starting a war to bring about the apocalypse" would be enough, right?
You have no leg to stand on when it comes to talking about religious extremism and terrorism, bc wtf is this?
Like, I know nothing will change regardless of if I share my art or not, but you know...
Also, I swear I'm actually still making stuff.
I'm adjusting to a new routine, spending most time currently on light exercises and sketching, so I don't really have a lot to show, plus the everything that's going on is not exactly putting me into the mood for sharing my stupid little doodles
What the ever loving fuck is wrong with those people?
Note to self for the future: don't touch your nice new sketchbook with a matt cover a few minutes after applying oil to your nails.
Unless you want a crap load of fingerprints all over, of course.
The US needs to get the Feck out of everywhere outside their own borders IMMEDIATELY!!
i do wish the "good" labour MPs would do something about starmer getting us involved with trump and netanyahu's attack on iran aside from posting about it on social media
People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?
I'm thinking about how much they all belong in The Hague.
Bugs Bunny Tuxedo meme: i wish all digital artists a very correct layer
A crow says "I just want to"
"Focus" Crow is now very detailed and crouching down
Bonus photo of the skateboard before I deliver it.

Jack Horner Facebook post from 12 Feb. So, while I'm being investigated by SVP, why don't you outraged paleo-people get back to doing some factual science, using the scientific method. You seem to have forgotten how that works, you know, using actual evidence? For Darren, I think this is essential, as I get the impression from his DinoCon disinvite, he's still cheesed off from Kevin and I pummeling him over the whole Darwin sexual selection argument back in 2013. But, I do thank you Darren, for weeding out the invasive nuisances from my social media platforms, I was curious as to how I was going to do that on my own.
For people outside of paleontology:
This senior paleontologist, who married a 19-year-old, visited a convicted pedophile in 2012 & 2016. Is beefing over a conference argument from 13 years ago, angry because he was banned from a family-friendly event across the Atlantic. The level of petty.
Two panel comic. Panel 1: a museum display of a megalodon jaw fossil, with some museum goers standing around it. There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodon’s full size compared to a human. Panel 2: “3.6 million years ago:” we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.
Carved in the likeness of the One True God, it was blessed with a mouth to give blessings to the people
Do hares count?
If you see this, post a rabbit!
A photo of my hand holding a whale fall iron on patch design. The whale skeleton is surrounded by various deep sea animals such as octopuses, hagfish, chimeras, a crab, and a deep sea isopod. They are surrounded by a dark blue, almost black, background. The photo is taken in front of a colorful bush with many shades of red and green leaves.
New whale fall patches just got added to my site, along with 4 other new patch designs!

Still think a wildcard system: where a random resident from each country, is selected for each Olympic event, would make the Olympics more interesting
Geoffrey from Watford has been selected as the Wildcard entrant to the downhill ski.
He has never skiied before.
