My town got hit with a record-setting amount of snow today and we're stuck home for the foreseeable future. Probably should've gone grocery shopping a few days ago to avoid living off fried rice and pasta now 😬

For the 165th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species, here are two theropod dinosaurs—T. rex & a hummingbird. Despite all the differences, T. rex is more closely related evolutionarily to this hummingbird than T. rex is to, say, Allosaurus! Still blows my mind! 🦖 More... 1/2

Ea-nāṣir is the recipient of the world’s oldest complaint letter. He’s reportedly the worst businessman of the 18th century, a mediocre conman whose actions should have him put out of business. Is this fair? Here’s a thread on the most up-to-date research on this captivating figure.
