We have always and will always improve as a society and species, it's in our nature. And by extension, we'll also always have room to improve upon.

Been working on King Tyrant promotional stuff today - continuing that with a #FossilFriday #paleoart post. Here's two T. mcraeensis (because of geography) alongside a motherflippin' volcano, because the old artists were right: SOME TYRANNOSAURUS ACTUALLY LIVED NEXT TO BIG VOLCANOES. #KABOOM! #sciart
A mountain explodes in the night of ancient New Mexico, in what will become the North Hall Formation. Great conifer trees and the drooping branches of a willow are silhouetted against an orange sky. Beneath, disturbed from their drink at the lake margin, two tyrant dinosaurs look at the disturbance. They turn to one another, not wanting to believe their eyes. _They are Tyrannosaurus, and they are next to a large active volcano_. A beat, and then the smaller animal whispers to her companion, "we are surely the victims of palaeoart cliche and stereotyping; some thoughtless hack has resurrected means of depicting us from the early 20th century. For while our compatriots in Hell Creek occur among volcanic ash from distant volcanic activity, what evidence is there that we, Tyrannosaurus, live next to great, mountainous volcanoes like those of vintage palaeoartworks?" He remains in silence momentarily, returning his eyes to the eruption. "Perhaps the problem", he eventually replies, "is that few read papers about geology when depicting awesome dinosaurs, so many artists don't think about where we actually live. The Hall Lake Formation is situated among volcanic uplands and also has an excellent record of plants and trees. We could have been drawn next to volcanoes for years with science on our side, but that information has been hidden in obscure, paywalled papers. No one knew that the old artists were right, if, admittedly, for the wrong reasons. They put volcanoes next to us because they thought they killed us." He smiles wryly at the thought. Thinking on his comment, she emerges from the water, a glimmer of hope in her eye. "Perhaps... things will be different now?", she asks. He looks at her as smoke belches from the moutainside. "Perhaps", he replies. They turn back to the eruption. Home at last.

I invented a game. It’s called 4 x 3.

It’s like connections except that there are three words in each category, there are four categories, and one word is in all four categories.

Easy mode is when you know the special word. Hard is when you don’t.
