sometimes, I think it would be worse to be an insect and wake up one morning and find you had been transformed into a guy with a job

You all have to see this bootleg t-shirt my sister found because it is SO f-ing funny it should be illegal (which it is, but anyway.)

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child? I have a lot of good candidates but definitely saw scenes from this WAY too young. Like, same age as the protagonist young.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Oct 3rd - It’s October 3rd. Happy #MeanGirlsDay 📽️📅 Mean Girls (2004)
2 Screenshots from the movie "Mean Girls" (2004): First, a classroom setting with a young woman with long red hair talking to a young man in a brown shirt and blue t-shirt, both sitting at desks with open books. Subtitles read, "On October third, he asked me what day it was." Second, the same students are seen from a slightly different angle; the young woman smiles slightly as she responds. Subtitles read, "It's October third."

I skipped high school to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. The following day my Dad asked ," how was school?" I replied, " It was fine " He then threw this newspaper at me and asked , " how the fuck would you know?" He was so pleased with himself that I didn't actually get in trouble.
Newspaper where I am on the front page, in line for Star Wars tickets , having given the reporter my full government name Closeup of the photo from the Newspaper where I am on the front page, in line for Star Wars tickets , having given the reporter my full government name .

Narration: "In the old barn, where her Amazon airplane is hidden, Nurse Diana becomes WONDER WOMAN."
Standing talk and arm wide spread over her head, the joyful Wonder Woman says, "This costume feels grand! The Amazon girls have never seen me in it; they won't know me!"

Regarding the new paper by Giacomo Gobbo and others on *that* Camarasaurus skull (that is, the one with the soft tissue preserved around the snoot), a useful visual guide of what the authors therin describe. Paper link below.
Visual description of the typical models of skin, tooth, and jaw for the four groups represented here.

Labels point to different tissues, I've just not labels bone. Ooops.

1st, a typical sauropsid, like a lizard or mouse. Soft labile skin on the outside, thick, squishy gums on the inside.

2nd, a crocodilian. Thick, rough skin on the outside, and mostly squishy gums on the inside. The skin around the teeth itself are both gum and skin, and they can be pretty "corny."

3rd, the Gobbo model, which supposes the outer layer of the cornified dermis is a sheet, like a beak, and extends further than the jaw margin, forming a pseudobeak of sorts, or an "odontoscutum," or tooth-scale. Otherwise, soft skin on the outside, but inside you have normal squishy dermis, and the authors suppose the teeth are confined to a much more cornified dense gum. This is not that dissimilar to crocs, but it's much more similar to turtles.

Lasty and 4th, birds and some turtles, in which the soft skin is mostly covered on the outside by a set of cornified sheets that form a ridged beak, or rhamphotheca, with the gum being either super soft in parts, or super hard, cornified.

I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I made some notes to process some observations of feathered wings and thought I'd share. If it's useful to you too, I'd be glad. Not intended to be scientific or precise so take it with a grain of salt!

I usually say “Y2K Era” when talking about 1999-2001, but “Turn of the Century” is quickly taking over, and it’s weird watching it happen. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s just so firmly connected to the 18th to 19th century transition. Gonna be a whole lifetime of this, huh?

I'm ashamed I didn't think of this until just now:
The infamous Magdeburg Unicorn, a weird mish-mash of animal bones assembled to look like a Unicorn - with two beefy forelimbs and no hind limbs. Honestly, it looks more like what a fully terrestrial Narwahl might?

Here is a v sharable and relatable poem that I wrote about how Thing Were Better In The Old Days
Sceenshot of a poem. It reads

You kids today, with 'net and games I fought in World War 2 You're not content with airfix planes, I fought in World War 2 In my day (nineteen ninety three), We didn't have what's yours Things were simpler, much less woke, I fought in both World Wars. School lunches, Oh! Pink custard too, Four channels on TV Not like the iphones you have now, Was simpler then, you see? "Image Macros" were all the rage, There was no twitch tv I fought in World War 2, respect The man who's forty three
