Baby Longnecks Were Jurassic Popcorn — Riley Black Long-necked herbivores were titans of the Jurassic, but their offspring fed many carnivorous mouths.

And last week's article, about tasty baby sauropods, is up on my website.

Every time he asks "Where did you get this?" I want to defend him like no they were real! Charlie's right!

The Gorgon Bird The toothed bird Gorgonavis socializing in Early Cretaceous Spain. Art by Roc Olivé. Birds used to have teeth. Many of them, at least. From Archaeopteryx...

A strange, snouty skull encased in resin turned out to be a new species of ancient, toothed bird. I'll tell you all about Gorgonavis in this week's newsletter!

We wanna love
What we had while we had it
And not carry a scorched memory
For the rest of our days”

A gray embroidered hat that says “I had my sexual awakening during the critically acclaimed film ALIEN (1979)”

Feels like a good day for my best hat.

If only there were a movie that fit both Sexy and Saurian cinema requirements.

How can I read without my “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my gay sex” mug filled with tea?

100%. I know high contrast moodiness like this definitely influenced how I write nighttime. As you say, light pierces or is otherwise expressed by what it does like it’s a minor character.

The shit you shared here kicked me in the nostalgia center of my brain.

Panel 1: Two swans, floating on a water, very swan-ily.

P2: Same POV, but now the swans have raised their wings.

P3: Again, same POV, but now the wings are fully up, and the swans' necks are lowered and extended.

P4: GO! The swans shoot forward at speed, leaving trails of water in their wake. Their necks are fully extended, beaks open.

P5: A side-on view of water against a green sky.

P6: Same POV, but now the swans have burst into view. However, the only thing moving --at tremendous speed-- are their necks, stretching out impossibly.

P7: We close in on a side-on view of the swans' heads, beaks closed in a look of swan-y determination. They are literally neck & neck.

P8: The background begins to swirl as the swans pick up speed. They spiral towards the centre from the upper left & lower right corners.

P9: A dramatic reveal of a Jack Kirby-like cosmic scene, with a blazing sun in the bottom right corner, and a "krackle" filled purple sky. The swans' necks spiral around each other

Millennial humor - references! dark themes! condescension to younger generations! - in a John Dies at the End style.

The movie’s worth it for the centaur cat alone.

I’m going to let myself be a snob and say these don’t even seem good. Like I’m seeing the wrinkly texture that says they’ve been sitting out, getting that cardboard taste.

Dang now I want to make my own fries

I picked the wrong colours for #Prototaxites and now it looks like a creature from Alien Storm or a Cronenberg movie. 😅#SciArt

A NSFW drawing of Vicar Amelia from Bloodborne as more of an anthro than beast. Amelia smiles down at the viewer while nude. One of her hands is resting on her chest.
