I really need you guys to internalize this.

Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air.

Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

#DinoConUK @grahancock.bsky.social: Using assets from @prehistorickingdom.bsky.social, tested the camouflage effectiveness of different color patterns on T. rex in a forested environment. Found that those with countershading, different head coloration, and disruptive coloration on tail worked best.

Watch Out!

Grainy photo of “Big Al” (MOR 693), a mounted Allosaurus skeleton

I asked Al to write me a story and she, being dead for approximately 152 million years, said nothing

Absolutely incredible work

A recently published study found that cooking meat did not give enough energetic gains to counter the cost of maintaining fire. The authors suggest that early fire use was more about meat preservation and protection against predators.

a bust of a herrerasaurus based on specimen PVSJ 53 against a forested backdrop. he is moderately feathered, and his colouration and patterning are reminiscent of a melanistic jaguar. his eyes are dark amber, and he has a visible scar on his face

a quiet night 🍃🦖
in the forests of late triassic argentina, dusk is approaching, and a male herrerasaurus is preparing to embark on a night-time hunt with his mate. at 6 metres long, his size wards off most rivals, though he still carries battle scars

Baryonyx crossing a mudflat. day 26 of #Maysozoic ! #art #paleoart #dinosaur

an Amargasaurus crosses a river, as it reaches the bank of the other side it tilts its neck up, the water that pooled between its neck sails cascades out from the gap in the back back into the river from whence it came Amargasaurus is a kind of sauropod dinosaur (typically long necked and usually large quadrupedal reptiles) and specifically a dicraeosaurid (a group of sauropods with proportionally short necks, long tails, and tall spines on their back) it possessed two parallel sails on its neck made of spines that were angled towards the back of the animal

a Bajadasaurus looks at the camera from a high angle, it sticks its tongue out towards the camera Bajadasaurus is a kind of sauropod dinosaur (typically long necked and usually large quadrupedal reptiles) and specifically a dicraeosaurid (a group of sauropods with proportionally short necks, long tails, and tall spines on their back) it may have possessed two parallel sails on its neck made of spines that were angled towards the front of the animal

a Stegosaurus walks along the bank of a river it just exited, trees and ferns can be seen in the back Stegosaurus was a kind of stegosaurian dinosaur (armoured quadrupedal reptiles that used either plates or spikes along the top of their bodies), Stegosaurus is the namesake of the group with large plates running along its back, and a four spiked weapon at the end of its tail known as a thagomizer

during a cloudy day where the sun is low in the sky, an Acrocanthosaurus stands in an open desert and defecates while staring towards the sun, it is littered with scars, including missing the majority of its left arm from a previous fight Acrocanthosaurus is a kind of theropod dinosaur (a large and diverse group of bipedal reptiles that birds are also a part of), specifically a carcharodontosaurid (large theropods that all had tall sails on their back and thin faces with very sharp teeth) Acrocanthosaurus has a particularly tall sail even for carcharodontosaurids

here's today's #Paleostream flocking sketches!!!

today we sketched Amargasaurus, Bajadasaurus, Stegosaurus, and Acrocanthosaurus (very spine-heavy stream lol)

Absolutely beautiful, I think this is one of my favorite pieces made by you

A painting that depicts a pair of Attenborosaurus- long-necked marine reptile with flippers and tail flukes that they use to navigate the ocean and hunt fish. The pair is surrounded by ammonites, fish and other marine reptiles.

A great float of Attenborosaurus swiftly navigate their pelagic environment in their hunt for fish.

Attenborosaurus (named after Sir David Attenborough) is an extinct marine reptile that existed during the early Jurassic, it was a primitive pliosaurid, closer related to short-necked plesiosaurs.

Yesterdays Flocking #paleostream was all dinosaurs!
Amargasaurus, Bajadasaurus, Stegosaurus and Acrocanthosaurus.

The sauropod dinosaur Amargasaurus in front view. Its head is slightly lowered, mouth open, with its neck reconstructed with a single large hump of flesh atop it. The piece is sketchy and black and white, with rough detailing and shading.

A Bajadasaurus biting the neck of a rival. It is a sauropod dinosaur with a long neck (although comparatively short for a sauropod), the front of which has a large hump atop it, adorned with eye spots. Its rival is reeling back as the main individual rakes its teeth down its neck. Dust flies up at the bottom. The piece is in the same back and white sketchy style.

A Stegosaurus missing the end of its tail. It is viewed slightly from behind, its neck curving back slightly. The neck has a small dewlap along the underneath, and the whole animal is adorned with its recognisable large plates. The open wound where the tail has been severed is dripping blood. The piece is in the same black and white sketchy style.

A portrait sketch of the carnivorous dinosaur Acrocanthosaurus. Only the head, neck and shoulders are shown. Its body is side-on to the viewer, but its head is turning to face almost straight-on. It has a light covering of feathers along the spine. The piece is in the same back and white sketchy style.

Results from tonight's Flocking #Paleostream! Definitely my favourite batch of sketches I've done during one of these so far, I'm pretty happy with all of them - no doubt helped by being all dinosaurs.

This is so fire

Everyone's favourite hadrosaur. :}

A vast mountainous landscape shadows a vague cityscape which has several fires burning within it. Overlooking this calamity is a giant winged beast- Rodan, who has red eyes and a malformed beak. Red sprites of lightning loom above him.

'The Void' from Thunderbolts. The movie was pretty good, and I also liked it

IT IS VITAL THAT THIS SHIT IS STOPPED, this will wreak irreparable harm to all of the internet and art as a whole. Do not let these freaks monopolize creativity call your senators now.

according to the supreme court women are not oppressed by sexism, misogyny, men — patriarchy.

they are oppressed by biology. women’s oppression is a natural state.

that is not a victory for women’s rights. it’s another barrier.

‘gender critical’ is a far right cancer within feminism.

if you see this, post your painting/drawing of a dragon

I LOVE DRAGONS!!!!!!!!!!!

It drives me crazy hearing people talk about stuff like stop motion and creature suits looking fake. The artifice is the point! I’m not going to believe Godzilla is real, but I am going to believe that a lot of very passionate, talented people put their heart and soul into making him real!

A digital portrait of Thalassodromeus - an extinct flying reptile with a large, curving crest on its head. The illustrated animal is a mixture of dark greys and blacks, with a golden yellow eye.

Ridiculous animal.

These Armed and Armored Plant Eaters Were the Most Metal Dinosaurs of All Studies of the horns, spikes, plates and clubs of dinosaurs could help settle a long-standing debate over their function

New #paleoart of mine has just appeared in a @sciam.bsky.social article on the awesome horns and spikes of herbivorous dinosaurs (not my art in the preview). A fascinating read by biomechanicist Mike Habib - was great fun working with him on this! #sciart

I was very much looking forward to this #paleostream! The tranquil of the Devonian Rhynie Chert fascinated me for a while.
This geothermal wetland preserves some of the specimens of early landplants and is witness to the conquest of land by animals.
