i’ve noticed that people are getting considerably worse at spelling these past few years, especially with homophones.

the reason, as far as i’m convinced? auto-captions in online video. these algorithms are really bad at determining spelling from both audio and context

socialism is a mode of production defined by worker-owned means of production and the production of goods for their use value (as opposed to exchange value, which is what occurs under capitalism).

i am a socialist. i have attended socialist club meetings in college. i know it when i see it.

a boulder of upper-cenozoic limestone from central florida. there seems to be two distinct layers; a bioturbated layer on top and a bedded layer below

a boulder of upper-cenozoic limestone from central florida. there seems to be two distinct layers; a bioturbated layer on top and a bedded layer below

closeup of what appears to be four (?) distinct fossilized bones, broken along the same fracture as the rock from when it was quarried. only the insides of the broken bone(?) are visible. they rest mostly within the bedded layer and just below the bioturbated layer. hand and pocketknife for scale.

“eoceratops” is an obscure one for sure. had to do a deep dive on her; apparently it’s a synonym of chasmosaurus now

IN CONGREſS, 2025

reporter asks about president john killum's plan to address food prices.

president killum declares that he will bring back slavery, child marriage, and jeffery epstein. and invade 4 countries. and kill all trans people. and give the rest of the taxpayer money to israel

congress gives him bipartisan support. we must have unity, after all!!

woke up this morning thinking of the etymology of inauguration. the root word there is augur, meaning drill. the drilling. sure does feel like a drill to the skull. have another scrawling about it.

some banksias remind me a lot of bennetitales (despite being entirely cenozoic and unrelated to them), and fan palms have a distinctly cretaceous vibe.

there’s also some new world mammals like the solenodon and monito del monte
