I thought I was clicking through to read about maculélé, an Afro-Brazilian dual-machete style I learned a bit of from capoeiristas, and was used to fight for freedom, and defend maroon communities. Nope! Instead I learned about an art I never heard of and am now very interested in!

Irony: One of the TV interviews I did in India that included my thoughts on how AI doesn't bring new ideas to the table has been picked up by bots and is being regurgitated across dozens of AI-generated "news" sites ~ YAAAY!

Thank you for clearly articulating what has been eating at me lately - the need for due process for everybody. We don’t even know if others are innocent, no one has been proven guilty!

Huanansaurus was an oviraptorid dinosaur that lived approximately 72 million years ago, in what is now China. It is also cruelly under-represented in palaeoart. So here’s my attempt to remedy that.

The Trump administration assertions (not arguments) about basic features of our legal regime are so bad it feels insulting to rebut them. But @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social does an excellent job dissecting their assertions on "due process" here. ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...
