Free climbers discover remnants of ancient sea turtle stampede in Italy
Rocks have been found to hold many traces of Earth's ancient history, but usually geologists have to seek them out. Every once in a while, however, these imprints of times past are found by unsuspecting visitors.

This is just so awful.

So many important organisations that have been on their own journey to inclusivity, that have had their own discussions, that support women in so many important ways being bullied into changing policy by people obsessed with bigotry.

And this damage will last for years

Observations of super-Jupiters indicate their atmospheric dust storms form through large-scale equatorial waves, differing fundamentally from Jupiter’s banded storm patterns due to hotter, more radiative atmospheres. doi.org/hbc7np
Do super-Jupiters look like Jupiter? Not necessarily, study shows
Using images from the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb), an international research team including Western's Stanimir Metchev has discovered new answers to explain how some brown dwarfs form giant dust storms, contradicting previous assumptions.

Brain stopped working at about 4p.mm. H just burnt hand on making tea twice and didn’t even make it properly.
I’m not allowed to eat or drink anything until like 6:30pm. Not sure how I’ll survive without my caffeine drip.

Not drinking alcohol is going well so far I think. I will have some at Christmas as a treat. Like I do with cheese or having an entire spring roll and dumpling platter to myself.
