Theme park thread? Theme park thread! I've been to Bobbejaanland! I've been here previously in 2004, annus horribilis for Belgian amusement parks. That was a very formative visit for me as a theme park fan. But I haven't been back since. Rectification time!

Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

Seems like some people have jumped on for my theme park reviews. To all who visit this messy place: welcome! Here's a place I've been last year. More is on the way!

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

How about another theme park thread? This was the first time I visited Avonturenpark Hellendoorn, Netherlands due East, since 2008. In a country stacked with theme parks, how does this one stack up? Let's find out together.

The older I get, the more I love the sounds of screams you hear at an amusement park. We're staring at our screens all day. Getting out there and experiencing something real, something embodied, something that takes us to the egde of what we dare, that can only be good for us.

So I'm not an economist and I'm not very smart but I'm trying to wrap my head around the "LLM-based AI is not, in fact, a bubble" mindset. Little thread.

Utahraptor for today's #DrawDinosDaily. These guys feel so much like the Cretaceous equivalent of a lion to me - big, powerful, and fast. 🎨 #SciArt #PaleoArt #dinosaurs

Illustration of a Utahraptor, a large bulky dromaeosaur with a chunky head, deep belly, thick hindlegs and long tail. It is covered in a coat of coarse feathers, including pinnate wings on the arms. It has a dark crown, white supercilium, red irises, dark auriculars, and a cream "mane" of longer neck hackles, then a dark back and tail. It is posed as if looking to the side and down slightly while walking at a 3/4 angle toward the viewer, one foot raised.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

Check out this unbelievably cool Jan Sovák painting! How often do you see plesiosaurs and dinosaurs interacting at all, let alone this cinematically? It’s unbelievable how productive Sovák was as an artist, I just keep finding more and more of his work that I’ve never seen before!

A splotchy-patterned Troodon and its chick flee from the sudden appearance of a huge, snake-necked elasmosaur. Its emergence sends a spray of water flying between them, nearly sweeping the young dinosaur away.

That sexual selection is one of the primary drivers in evolution is well established. Studies of Mesozoic #dinosaurs and #pterosaurs, however, have been dominated by the view that the variation, extravagance and diversity seen in these animals is not due to the pressures of sexual selection, but...

Discovered by @chasmosaurs.bsky.social coauthor @gemmachaos.bsky.social, this nightmare of a Deinonychus has all the worst aspects of the early CGI revolution and none of the endearing qualities. It's a freakish nightmare, plain and simple. For more like it, go here! chasmosaurs.com/2024/07/13/v...

It feels like the UK theme park scene is falling to bits. No more Ultimate, no more Megafobia, no more Scenic Railway. Alton Towers is struggling, Thorpe Park isn’t seeing a return on investment. What’s next? I really hope I can make it to Blackpool Pleasure Beach this year.
