The Batman effect: The mere sight of the 'superhero' can make us more altruistic If "Batman" appears on the scene, we immediately become more altruistic: in fact, research conducted by psychologists from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, shows that the sudden appear...

What is the point of all this AI investment if not being able to seamlessly traverse arbitrary databases and systems without coddling

In the past few weeks I have heard fancy enterprise AI consultants say big companies need to “get their data ready” for AI and been told that legacy smart home platforms aren’t built for AI assistants and my friends, this is the entire problem AI is supposed to solve

I’ve just learned that a scam has been reaching out to indiegogo users, claiming to be me, offering to ‘help’ with their campaign—& using this phony email:

No matter what email they use, if you receive a message like this, please know this is not real. (JM)

Went out looking for frogs. And I know these guys. Keep an untidy garden/yard with native plants. We MUST help the frogs.

All Yesterdays montage showing three authors, plus some art from the book and its cover.

On Tues 11th Nov 2025, I'm speaking about #AllYesterdays in a workshop happening before the 2025 Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting in Birmingham, UK. MUCH of the discourse around All Yesterdays is based on misunderstandings and comes from ppl who haven't read the book! #FossilFriday

JD Vance seems to be making more public appearances recently. I have to assume it is to remind the public that he has the energy of a dude who corners you at a party to ask (with thick, gummy, catshit breath) why you don’t like him - tearfully begs you to kiss him - then calls you a bitch.

Various therizinosaurs on a blank background and at scale. From left to right: Fukuivenator, Falcarius, Beipiaosaurus, Alxasaurus and Therizinosaurus

Therizinosaurs are, without a doubt, some of the most interesting groups of theropod dinosaurs

Here you have a selection of a few species that I reconstructed for the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Japan for their 25th Anniversary Special Exhibition

Oh, what a beautiful morning!

The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away due to natural causes.

She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.

I was lucky enough to get to see her speak a few years ago - she spoke about the plight of wildlife and the natural world with so much care and with so much purpose. The world will miss her.

AI Overview: "Dental realism"refers to the philosophical debate about whether teeth exist independently of human perception, a concept rooted in metaphysical realism. While realism asserts an objective reality for teeth, idealist philosophies contend that teeth's existence is tied to our consciousness and perception. Philosophers use this idea, for example, to discuss the ethics of tooth extraction, examining whether a procedure impacts a real entity or merely a subjective experience.

And yeah, the iPhone 17 pro is fine too. Better battery (much better for my use), nicer colour, rounder edges. I prefer it to the 16 pro. Even Liquid Glass is … not a big deal.

For those that know London; they handily cancel the noise of my Victoria Line commute. First headphones to do that.

I wouldn’t have believed it, but the AirPods Pro 3 are a huge upgrade over the 2. They’re noticeably better in every way that counts: comfort, sound quality and noise cancelling. What an excellent product.
