When I ask it about things I am not an expert in, it sounds authoritative. And I can't always spot mistakes. If I don't care about accuracy? 6804
Reposted by BirdCatDarren Naish @tetzoo.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Great news on #MesozoicArtII relevant to buyers in the USA -- I'm reliably informed that you can order direct from Bloomsbury's US site, and that the book qualifies for free shipping. I can't test that from here (as in the UK), but I hope it works out :) @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social 45713

His critics say they are — literally — fool's gold. At stake? The question of when and how complex life arose at all.

Ministering to them, in word and presence and humble service, is real. Trump's vanity and authoritarianism? Delusions like chaff in the wind, as Psalm 1 has it. 4957
BirdCat @cgregplet.bsky.social · 26/08/2025This is real? It 100% reads as satire, an official .gov website that says Trump is the biggest brand in the world and bigger than Nixon. 010

BirdCat @cgregplet.bsky.social · 28/01/2025This stunning color is my favorite, green marble. The marble gene is recessive and shifts the dark pigment to the ends of the feathers, creating scalloped edges and leaving the body color lighter. 010
BirdCat @cgregplet.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Just to have some content, I’ll share parrotlet color genetics and example photos. Here’s the bird that started it all for me, Marshmallow. His genetics are blue (removes yellow) with the American gene (removes body blue). It’s called “American White”. 040
