A pencil sketch of a cute little Dracoraptor head and neck in a white frame with a black mat.

Picked up this fantastic Dracoraptor original sketch by @dragonsofwales.bsky.social from the framer today. It's a perfect addition to my dino art collection!

#supportartists #originalsketch #dinosaur!

I have a dozen of these left. There have to be a dozen dinosaur fans out there who would like a copy, right? 🤞

Two yellow cichlids with black stripes. The male is on top and female below, both Look very similar.

The same two fish six months later. The female has become larger but has the same color scheme. The male below is significantly larger than the female and has a blue head and yellow flanks with red cheeks. Its black stripes have mostly disappeared.

The same male and female Lake Victoria cichlids (Paralabidochromis sauvagei) six months ago and now. 🐟 #photography #fishkeeping

After around 12 hours, Starship B19 has fully detanked and completed what looked to be a nominal full cryo test at Masseys. It remains to be seen if SpaceX will next roll it back to Mega Bay 1, or has further tests planned for it at Masseys.

Very nice.

Booster 19, set to launch on Starship Flight 12, has finally rolled to Massey's for cryoproof testing. Meanwhile, work is wrapping up on Pad 2, which will see its maiden launch with this booster.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

It’s my birthday 🎂 this week.

I might buy myself this birthday card, which seems to fit my every mood. 🤣

When you say bubble filters, I assume you mean 2 air powered sponge filters.
In a 10gal, those 2 sponge filters should be enough to clean and circulate.

If it's a 10gal, with 2 sponge filters and a pump. And you clean every few days.
I have to ask how much food you feed. It might be too much.

Nice, baby Bristle Nose Pleco.

Next Stop, THE MOON!
NASA's SLS rocket has made the 11 hour trip from the VAB to LC-39B, ahead of the launch of the crewed Artemis II mission to the moon for the first time since 1972, launching NET February 6.
Stay with NASASpaceflight for all updates on this historic mission.

A yellow cichlid with a bluish top and red cheeks. The unpaired fins are iridescent blue, the pelvic fins mostly black. A black stripe runs through the eye and the fish has three yellow eggspots on its anal fin. This represents the breeding coloration.

The same fish with similar colors but two longitudinal dark stripes are along its body, the Upper one somewhat blotchy.

Same fish again, in this color pattern light bars are added to the stripes forming a chessboard pattern.

Color variation in a Lake Victoria cichlid male (Paralabidochromis sauvagei). Colors and patterns depend on mood, social or breeding status in this species. 🐟🧪 #fishkeeping #photography

I grind them down to a corse powered.
Dip chicken legs in egg, then in the crushed Takis for the breading.
Fry in oil. Mmmmm😋

This is not law enforcement. This is murder.

Sickening.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
