Well, friends, I've got some crummy news. As of the end of the year I'm no longer writing for SYFY. It was a great eight years and I worked with a lot of incredible writers and editors.

I'll always be grateful for my time at SYFY but if you're looking for a science writer I am fully available!

Hell yes!

Australia’s Newly Discovered Horned “Devil” Bee Will Have You Buzzing Dr. Kit Prendergast discovered a horned bee species dubbed Megachile lucifer in Australia's Goldfields.

Check out this adorably wicked bee, found in Australia and recently described by Dr. Kit Prendergast. If this little lady wanted my soul, I'd probably make the deal.

This rules. I am hyped.

New shrimpy little pachy!

This rules, I was tired of writing "more than 5,000" all the time. That 6 has a nice look to it.

Mothman looks so smoochable. Bet he’s a good cuddler too.

I liked it better when being into crypto meant you wanted to smooch Bigfoot.

Hyperion.
I’m reading The Fall of Hyperion now and can’t wait to see what that wacky Shrike does next.

Oh, yes, while plugging projects that feature #freefiction,

BREAKING: Gerard, still hot.

Got a fantastic view for My Chemical Romance in Seattle tonight!

Could T. rex swim? Kinda Evidence suggests dinosaurs like tyrannosaurs were probably best suited to a version of the doggy paddle.

Could Tyrannosaurus rex swim like its silver screen equivalent in the new Jurassic World film?

The big carnivore was probably able to do the dino doggypaddle, but a big body full of air sacs may have been the reptile more of a "tipsy punter" than a skilled swimmer. I dig in at NatGeo. 🧪

If the return of a certain monster franchise has you thinking about dinosaurs, check out my latest book to get acquainted with the terrible lizards as they really were. 🦖

Yes, I’ve been beating this drum for the last year or so. You also can’t beat the vibes of watching your favorite movies in VHS.

Maybe being forced to rewind and maintain our stuff was actually good for us.

I just updated the Workshops and Appearances tab on my website and I realize I'm teaching (online and in person) and traveling A LOT for the rest of the year. Will I see you at an event or teach you in a class? www.swankmotron.com#upcomingappe...

Goddammit.

We still don't know what the Congressional budget proposal will be. Trump's shittastic budget proposal is not the final word!

Also, no one can take my VHS tapes when a licensing agreement expires or modify their content without my knowledge.

For the last year or so I’ve been slowly rebuilding my physical media library and breaking away from streaming, partly for the vibes but partly because I should be able to watch Scrubs 40 times without some billionaire or some robot knowing about it.

This is exactly it. Not only are the arts meaningful, they are the most meaningful thing we do.

Your dad sounds awesome.

Fours different hands pull a golden crown apart, surrounded by the words "Many hands make light work."

No kings

I recently got invited to a cool shark party in NYC and couldn’t go because I live in WA.

Please know that when I respond this way, what I’m really saying is “Please fly me out and put me up. I’ll write something cool about it and I want to come!”

Holy shit these are incredible. I want a giant version of the first one right now please.

The Shortest History of the Dinosaurs: The 230-Million-Year Story of Their Time on Earth The 230-Million-Year Story of Their Time on Earth

I have a new book out tomorrow! If you’ve ever thought to yourself “I wish Riley would teach me a Dinosaurs 101 course,” this one’s for you. 🦕

You literally can just turn them off.
