A plump and cheerful snow T. rex sitting in a garden. It has little twig arms and pebble eyes.
The snow rex with a small, fluffy, grey yutyrannus plushie sitting between its feet.

It snowed enough to sculpt a fat little tyrannosaurus today!

As a good number of people have pointed out time and time again, we don't (have to) make people hate the police. They make people hate them all on their own!
Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Too many scientists get defensive about Darwin, partly because fights against creationism prompted such reactions. As if to criticize Darwin was to criticize evolution.
I donβt like Darwin day. Yes, heβs an important figure in science history.
He was also a spoiled rich boy who got daddy to put him on a colonialist mission, part of which was returning Indigenous people the Beagleβs captain had previously taken hostage. Part of Englandβs attempt to claim by naming.
And minor point in all this, but just before all of this broke Horner put out a new paper with fellow Epstein files friend Nathan Myhrvold.
peerj.com/articles/204...
Horner benefitting from this network wasnβt just some one time lapse seeking funding.
Keep the focus, and keep the pressure on. Itβs irrelevant whether Horner was wrong about T. rex or Torosaurus or sexual selection or whatever. There is a clear pattern of behavior here and making this about theoretical disputes is a distraction. Paleontology has to get serious about cleaning house.
12.02.2026 12:55 β π 111 π 16 π¬ 1 π 0Horner isnβt an isolated case. Some of the bullies and harassers in dinosaur paleo have been found out and kept their jobs, because academia leans on their side. Many other bullies and abusive men continue to do damage because they havenβt been named. This isnβt one man. This is systemic in paleo.

Women MSU students who told me they were interested in paleo, until their interactions with him. Not to mention how got his fame by claim jumping.

no Elon, all experts agree the ideal close quarters weapon is a Sig P320, carried in a special holster configuration only used by special forces guys called "reverse appendix carry". If the barrel is pointed into your guts when holstered you're doing it right.
Always keep the chamber loaded.
