For a shoplifting epidemic we now know *did not actually happen.* This is basically the comedy version of elite panic.

Re-evaluation of the Bahariya Formation carcharodontosaurid (Dinosauria: Theropoda) and its implications for allosauroid phylogeny The first partial skeleton of a carcharodontosaurid theropod was described from the Egyptian Bahariya Oasis by Ernst Stromer in 1931. Stromer referred the specimen to the species Megalosaurus saharicu...

Egyptian Charcharodontosaurid is getting a makeover!!

Only skull‐deep? Headbutting adaptations may not extend to the brain cavity High-impact headbutting behavior makes the muskox (Ovibos moschatus) a charismatic species. While many theorize how these headbutting bovids might protect their brain during such encounters, few have....

Very cool!

Saurophaganax no more: Danison et al. remove the allosauroid material from the S. maximus hypodigm, coin new species of Allosaurus. Huge congrats to Andy, Matt & the rest of the team who worked on this project!

I Voted No.
This is not a deal, it does not adequately protect the future of our careers. It's barely a pebble in the road for studios intent on using AI to destroy our livelihoods. Don't vote Yes just to "get back to work", because honestly? You won't get back to work if the studios go unchecked.

Every single word of this write up is the truth and this entire article deserves to be read.

Light blue, pink, and white candles on a black background, arranged in the order of the Transgender Pride flag. Beneath, the text "TRANSGENDER DAY OF REMEMBRANCE NOVEMBER 20" is displayed.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are.

Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves.

Remember them. And make the world remember them.

The short is great!!!
The approach you’ve taken on the demon character is also refreshing. There’s almost a gentleness, rather than a hollow aggressive thing.

I almost forgot... today is #indieanimationday!

I made an animated short film called Dyssomnia, about befriending your sleep paralysis demon. Here is the teaser (sans voice over but you get the gist)

Stop agonizing and start drawing.

You will:
- Uncover your weaknesses (so you can then develop them)
- Learn when you make mistakes, you're safe (and can make more)
- Realize just how capable you are
- Build confidence

It is that easy. The hardest part is starting.
