This scared little dog who needed to be pulled out of the shelter bc she was shut down is morphing into a velociraptor. "How did you get on the counter?" "Get off the table!" "What's in your mouth?" "Don't herd me!" But also, "You're so beautiful." "I love your kisses." "You're a great dog!" 🧡💛🐕

Veritasium making a video on Richard Dawkin's Selfish Gene sure makes it clear where he falls on the political spectrum. If you wanted to be safe and make the billionaires like you, you make this video. Exclude any of the actual political critique that prominent scientist had over the years.

Sitting in a waiting room listening to two people in their 70s talking about how they used to have to buy chickens and kill them at home if they wanted meat. Just going forever on this. And then one of them said “life was simpler then.” It sounds like it wasn’t!

Always have this weird anxiety when I want to teach a new board game to people. More so when it's something completely out of their frame of reference. Anyway I'm thinking we are playing Wyrmspan tomorrow evening. Time for a proper engine builder/ tableau builder.

New filter-feeding pterosaur dropped and it was found in dinosaur vomit!
The name Bakiribu waridza derives from Kariri words: bakiribú (“comb”) and waridzá (“mouth”), referring to the animal’s comb-like dentition. The name also honors the Indigenous peoples native to the Araripe region, Brazil.

Each of these dots on the map has its own history, and I intend to cover all of them
Cities/towns may have been the first complex societies, long before kingdoms and empires.
Any discussion of African history would be incomplete without them

Another reminder to turn that Rude shit off.
This app is pretty dead after the mods attached a rude label to my account.
Pretty sure my appeal will never go through either.
Mods killed blusky for anyone left of center-left politics in the name of "decorum" and "civility."
Gonna stay a little while longer with the hopes of it improving.

Went to the bookshop today and found a Stephen Gould book. I'm so surprised. This would be my first time finding one of these new and not secondhand.

If their unit of Le Guin is anything to go by, this is going to pretty fun and good.
Let's make it official:
SHELVED BY GENRE's next unit, spanning ALL of 2026, will be a delve into the depths of modern genre with J.R.R. Tolkien's THE HOBBIT, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, and THE SILMARILLION.
If you don't have those, you can grab them through our Bookshop:
