I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

Mainstream palaeoart often seems lily-white in terms of the diversity of its contributors. But pieces of palaeoart that rank among the -MOST SEEN- works in the entire field were examples of black craftsmanship. This week came news on the passing of Garfield G. Minott (1966-2025)... cont

For Colorado, the pet food bank is coloradopetpantry.org. Lots of places accept donations, lots of distribution sites around the state.
It’s not shameful to need help. It’s shameful to harm someone, including yourself, including your four-footed people, because you won’t ask for help.

Had the pleasure of meeting Yi Xu, a Shanghai-based children's educational book illustrator. She's working on some exceptional palaeontology-themed books. Starting with Paleozoic. I love the highlight on the lesser known animals 🐌🧵

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin.
Here's the video of it running.

I finished my PhD during a time of uncertainty with waning opportunities in American academia. So I went to Germany. The Humboldt program laid foundations for my career at a time when my own country wouldn't.
I highly recommend looking into fellowship opportunities, especially now. 🧪

If I was going to bed with someone and they took off their shirt and I saw a fucking SS Totenkopf on their chest, I would be outta there so fucking fast. It just shows a massive lack of judgment AT BEST. So of course I wouldn't want that person representing my state!
one thing about racism is the way people will ignore the most likely explanation for something like having a Nazi tattoo for 20 years.
the most simple and obvious explanation was that he knew what it was and kept it. his excusers need to stop the embarrassing mental gymnastics.
