I think in terms of their model, look, and animation, the Utahraptor might well be up there among my favourites in the series. They feel like quintessential dromaeosaurs – for more info, I’ve written a longer article here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a...

G. lorriemcwhinneyae is quite different compared to its cousin – considerably spikier! Until the revelation of Spicomellus’ new look recently, this species of Gastonia was almost certainly up there in terms of being the pincushion-iest of the ankylosaurs. (7/40)

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

Do not accept the question "But how do we pay for it?" about social programs ever again. That talking point is done forever.
$170 billion could end homelessness. It could fund Head Start or pay for nutritious school meals for our kids for well over a decade. But it’s instead going to Stephen Miller so he can build his mass deportation army to target our immigrant neighbors: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/stephen-mi...
Stephen Miller Is Getting $170 Billion To Build His Own Army To Target Our Immigrant Neighbors. Here’s What That Funding Could Do Instead
This unprecedented allocation of taxpayer money could go to helping working families all across America, on everything from education, hunger, housing, healthcare, and the environment.
