Stomach contents, which are classified as trace fossils, are extremely rare in dinosaurs & are usually found in theropods. So this find of stomach contents in a sauropod (Diamantinasaurus) is among the rarest of the rare, giving us a look at this dinosaur's last meal. 🧪🦕 #ichnology

“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

The notion of a shared reality within a given country has only existed for as long as radio, it is an aberration rather than a norm, what has changed in recent years is that authority has shifted away from institutions with a degree of accountability to individuals with none.

Today's farm literacy moment! Ballerina Farm. Many have done thinkpieces about the women's lib of it all. But nobody had the stamina. the oomph. the juice to look at the business empire side of Ballerina Farm. So that's what we're doing today, and I would love to start with The Meats.

India is central to the story of dinosaurs! 🇮🇳 Some of the oldest dinosaurs are from India, and the Deccan volcanoes helped close the curtain on their reign. So thanks Jaipur Literature Festival for having me talk about the dinosaur saga--my first trip to India! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCrq...

Elsewhere on the Internet I see someone being a conflicted about not finishing a book of mine, so let me make it easy for everyone: If you're not vibing with something I wrote, put it down and try something else! Not everything I write is going to work for everyone, and that's fine. Let it go!

Late to this particular party. Clegg's a quisling and shill for austerity, betrayed his own ideas for boss class interest. Anything he says is aimed at impoverishing people. He represents no one but the spawn of the Meta family petrie dish. The little sign in front of him should just say CUNT.
