You're looking at the largest land animal of the Permian (~290 MYA), Eryops megacephalus, which translates to "long-face giant-head". It's a GIANT AMPHIBIAN. Like somewhere between a SALAMANDER & a FROG, but hog-sized. And, to get this out of the way, bears a striking resemblance to Barney. 🟣🦖

If tech people want to do something useful for historians, one problem that I actually have is that all the links to a less-than-10-year-old digitization project are fucking broken. Maybe get on the whole "making digital humanities last more than the time it takes to write a book" thing.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

If you continue to use chat GPT, you need to unfriend me. I understand being forced to use it for work. But there is no other excuse. You should know by now. It's not fun. It's not correct. It's harmful. Some of you are professors. I hope you know your cognitive abilities are being diminished.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Decided that the real world wasn't quite depressing enough so I'm rereading THE ROAD. It's been a couple years. Now, in the place we are, I'm seeing a lot more quite optimism in it than I did the first time around.

Rockefeller was considered the richest person in history at a net worth of 198 billion dollars in today's money. If he were alive today, he'd be only the 5th richest person alive. Somehow they still all had plenty of money in the 40s when we instituted the 90% tax rate. Anyway tax billionaires

Men in plainclothes, one in a balaclava, raided the Charlottesville courthouse today. They abducted a local painter whose case (allegedly fighting with his roommate) was being dismissed, and another who was there paying fines. They took them away in unmarked vans. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

The thing is if the pope had died a day after meeting Kamala Harris your uncle whose emails you had to mark as spam would be on FB for the next four years sharing 1000-word posts about a vast conspiracy and the posts would be accompanied by AI images that drained you of the will to live

When I made the main character of my upcoming debut, BEYOND THE RUINED NIGHTS, pansexual and put a queer relationship at the stories center, I didn't think it was a act of protest. But I guess now it is.

They will come for so much, for everything, for the things we love. For the beauty of our country, for its culture, for it's soul. But they can only take your pride if you let them. I will not. America is my home. "Wir werden sie in die Knie zwingen." We shall force them tot their knees. Resist.

Reading @kierstenwhite.bsky.social 's HIDE, and it is genuinely great. It feels like the best of classic King combined with the best of modern horror's sensibilities and style. Just fun, scary, and fucked up.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow

As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy
