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. 🟣🦖

The specimen will eventually be displayed at a Texas museum.

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.

In the long tally of history, I can't imagine the Internet will end up with the scales balanced to the good.

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.

The reality of that piece of history is that, despite the various horrible things the Robber Barons like Rockefeller did, they were ACTUALLY talented, industrious people who, at least at the start, worked for their money.

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.
