As the Walking with #Dinosaurs attention builds up and there's a new trailer for #JurassicWorld Rebirth, I thought I'd sahre this thread again about swimming Spinosaurus (or indeed, not swimming Spinosaurus).

God bless the person who donated a fiver, because somehow it makes this even funnier than if he has raised nothing. www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/laurenc...

The new Jurassic World trailer looks every bit as underwhelming as the first one.

Bluesky scientists/historians! Interested in writing weird creative non-fiction, essays about your research, or the sorts of popular sci-com pieces you’d pitch to The Conversation? I’d be interested in potentially commissioning you for our newsletter HEAT DEATH. (And crucially, we’d pay you!)

I recently realised that it's now been 20 years since I first published a scientific paper. So here's a self reflective / aggrandising (delete as appropriate) post about my career so far and the major themes of my work. archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2025/05/16/t...

You'd think with the price of these glasses they could have afforded an actual photo of a specimen and not just grabbed a hammer from a tool box.

Got to see a wild chamois in the hills behind Geneva. A chance sighting while I was on a train, so no photo, but wonderful to see such a cool animal in the flesh and only a few meters away. Very pleased.

Proofs have arrived the same day a new pope is elected. Clearly an auspicious time to work on pterosaur soft tissues.

A very important point. And another nail in the coffin of Richard Owen's reputation.

Sport FACT: Until they swapped it in the 1990s, the blue ball in snooker was worth salt & vinegar and the green scored cheese & onion.

Noting quite says 'love the UK' like saying the NHS should be closed and cozying up to Trump. And using the Brexit vote to make money investing in foreign currency against the pound. Oh, and you know, actually serving the constituents who elected you. www.lbc.co.uk/politics/uk-...

With the vaccines stuff coming out yet again, it's time to reshare the incredible work of HBomberGuy on the vaccine = autism scandal. If you don't know, it starts bad and just keeps getting worse and worse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BIc...
