Burgess shale thread! If you are reading The Devouring Time on my Patreon, I based the Swarm on Opabinia, though much larger and on land.
ZOMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHALE

Okay, so the Burgess Shale is a fossil bed in British Columbia that contains a whole bunch of fossils of weirdass creatures from the Cambrian era, over 500 million years ago. But the great thing about the shale is that it has fossilized SOFT PARTS!

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

"Rules-lawyer their way out of creepy" pretty much sums up the current moment
<sigh> Whole lotta people out there who still seem to think they can rules-lawyer their way out of creepy.

I liked it better when we were talking about the Burgess Shale.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

With the aurora popping up again last night, I thought I'd repost this adventure from last year. I drew this when the great @nepeteaa.bsky.social wondered what night-migrating songbirds might make of it all. Part 1/2

Yes, everyone who is fighting fascism needs to be united in fighting fascism.

But the need to be united to fight fascism is the opposite of being united with people folding to fascism.

My book COLOR TASTE TEXTURE starts with a deep dive on the various aspects of food and eating, and why food aversions are what they are. Most people don’t understand that these are neurobiological reactions that can’t be bypassed.

The identity of Sarah Kendzior, researcher on authoritarian states, and Sarah Kendzior's content discussing authoritarian states are...not really easy to separate.

So I'm struggling to see this as a response.
False attribution. If a person is suspended it is because of their identity? Could it not be because of their content? I wrote about it here aaron.leaflet.pub/3m52nqqmk322v
