Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.
Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.
Iran: look, it's simple. We literally just paint the silhouette of a plane on the ground. We literally just nail together some boxes in the shape of a tank. We literally just pull looney tunes shit. Their AI will make them spend $100 million to destroy $5 of arts and crafts.
the US: grok is this
Twitch screenshot of me in my office. There's a big ol' 3D-printed Allosaurus skull right behind me, along with the Berlin specimen of Archaeopteryx (not the original, obviously) and some other paleontological miscellanea, including a half-finished Austroraptor model
It's Thursday BIRDSday, but before we dive into the various bird photos that chatters submitted this week, we'll be talking about some more #paleontology news and doin' some of our usual fossil science Q&A.
Feel free to drop in and join us now @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing

That recently discovered Spinosaurus Mirabilis is somthin' else, huh? Be the first to discover this one at xxyxxy.com!

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.
Now, you *could* I suppose head over to the #2026MMM LibGuide and dive into the research and watch @Mammals_Suck prattle on about how to play on her videos (with a #FilthyWeasel over her shoulder), but we all know if you’re reading this you’re too lazy to do that.

Dead sexy Bobcat staring deeply into your eyes as it drinks from a reflective pool.
What’s that? You’re having trouble filling out your #2026MMM Bracket? Too hard to make the decisions? What is an Arabian Oryx and can it beat a Eurasian Lynx? (Answers: Antelope and it better not)
DON’T PANIC
Grab your towel and follow along with Professor Bobcat’s March Mammal Madness Manifesto.

Yeah. The memes are rolling out on this one.
What makes Trump such a unique horror is that he’s the worst possible person to deal with any circumstance. He has no concept of interests outside his own insatiable appetites. He can’t deal with any problem lobbed his way. Creates countless new crises. And considers himself unconstrained by law.
the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default
“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck
They're trying to get beyond the Thunderdome.
Twitch screenshot of me in my office, with all kinds of Triceratops stuff on the wall behind me (including a 3D-printed scan of a Triceratops brow horn)
I've got a feeling it's gonna be a Triceratops-heavy stream today (as my backdrop might indicate), since we'll be discussing the new Tada et al. paper on Triceratops nose anatomy — but we'll talk about whatever the chat is curious about, too!
Join us and hang out @ twitch.tv/paleontologizing
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
Happy #WorkInProgressWednesday everyone!
What are you fine folks working on today?
Today, we are preparing for this week's DnD session all about answering the Call to Adventure and taking your first steps into the wild!
Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking around a microscopic volvox algae colony. 🫧🐻🧪
Rhodochrosite with Galena, Sphalerite and Chalcopyrite which present white, amber, lead and pinkish colours across the specimen.
Happy Galena-tines!
Rhodochrosite with Galena, Sphalerite and Chalcopyrite.
When hit, Galena will break along three directions of weakness that meet at right angles, creating smaller cubes. Galena’s hardness is similar to that of a fingernail.
Just in time for #FossilFriday, meet Rhynchaeites mcfaddeni, a little fossil ibis from the Green River Formation. The holotype looks delightfully like a hieroglyph!

Good morning, U.S. East Coast; I have a present for you:
I am saving this video because every year in Entomology class I have to explain that "short-tongue bees", while a taxonomic classification, don't actually have short tongues as we'd think of them. (It's just the tip that's short).
Anyway, it's a female sweat bee evaporating down nectar.
Endorse!

This is just horrifying.
Describe a horror movie as if it were a Hallmark movie:
A career woman discovers inner strength and finds success after facing many challenges with the help of her cat and a special friend (Alien).
3 hours ago, I shared my results of having combed through ~470 DOJ Epstein files that mention Jack Horner, his MSU email, or "Dinochicken". I posted a copy, w/ screenshots and receipts, to r/Paleontology. It has been pinned by moderators and thus far viewed 38k times.

These ultra-fine structures shown at 30X magnification are the reason why geckos can adhere to most surfaces, using Van der Waals force.

Anyways get a tentacle pot to help you through these trying times i guess
