A group of easily spooked Valdosaurus encounter a Valdoraptor that is trying to initimidate anyone who gets to close to its partner.

This image was a private commission done for a kind fellow with the surname Vald (hence the choice of the dinosaurs).

Digital painting by Peter Nickolaus, 2026.

Ever Wanted To Know What It Smelled Like Before Getting Eaten By A T. Rex? Good News – You Can! London’s Natural History Museum had to swap out T. rex breath for β€œMaastrichtian Miasma” because it was too disgusting.

I spoke to @rachaelhfunnell.bsky.social yesterday about making synthetic T. rex breath for Sue’s exhibit!

You're tired? Guess what, so the fuck am I. Deal with it. We can be tired together later when this is done.

So, I'm going to be at PaleoFest this weekend! I'm super excited to be part of the very first PaleoFest marketplace. I'm sure there's going to be a ton of wonderful paleo folks there, and I'm really looking forward to everything I might learn

🚨KOSA, app store restrictions and ID checks are expected to be reviewed by House Energy and Commerce Committee this week, bringing us that much closer to a censored Internet under the guise of β€œkids safety"!

There's definitely still a niche for blogs! I'm one of those who likes longer-form written content over social media snippets. I'd blog if I had more paleo stuff to say that wasn't planned to go in papers...
