Greetings fellow beings.

I'm into many things. AKA I'm a huge nerd. Dinosaurs and other animals, games, shows, science, art, you name it.

But I warn you that I interact with politics, nsfw, and other stuff you might not like.

Archeops is the result of taking Microraptor and giving it every bad "feathered" raptor trope.

I still like it tho. (-3-)
Live reconstruction of Microraptor, a crow-sized, four-winged relative of Velociraptor. Its feathering is all black and iridescent as suggested by a modern study. Illustration by Fred Wierum, taken from Wikipedia. "How (not) to Draw Feathered Dinosaurs, A Palaeontography Anti-Guide". A diagram showing a stereotypical "raptor" with bright, dissonant feathering and incorrect anatomy. Several pices of text around it point at different points of the drawing giving sarcastic false advice on how to reconstruct a feathered dinosaur. By Osmatar, taken from deviantart.

I use this. It's very handy (pun intended). My hands definitely feel better if I do these before and after intense sessions.

They also have an extensive pattern repertoire probably used for complex communication.

Additionally, they are bioluminescent but instead of glowing outwards they do it inwards to better highlight these patterns in the dark.

Ok so I've just seen FilmCore's latest realistic T. rex fight animation and bts video and he's started a campaign to make a plushie of his T. rex with his shades and beanie (you know, typical modern online business stuff) and I cheked it out.

What do I get after awesome paleoart? AI slop.
A screenshot of FilmCore's T. rex plush campaign at a site called "Gimme Swag". Of the four image previews one (the one that's selected) is AI generated, while the other three are photoshop edits of his original Tyrannosaurus 3D model with a jungle picture in background and the sports shades and beanie that he was wearing in his video. The AI picture is grainy and makes FilmCore's Tyrannosaurus look like the one in Jurassic Park in contarst to his up to date reconstruction. An almost identical screenshot to the left one, but with FilmCore's photoshop edit selected instead.

The cover of the 1999 docuseries "Walking With Dinosaurs" featuring a red throated T. rex on a black background and the silhouettes of a Stegosaurus and T. rex at the top. The title has been edited to say "I wish ill on J K Rowling".

Been feeling a certain way recently
An open sketchbook with some scribbles and text on it. On the top right is an unfinished sketch of a ceratopsian skull. In the middle a realistic heart that's been held with two hands is fractured and being looked at by a pair of saddened eyes. At the bottom left is a tilted sapling growing before some rubble. In the middle bottom a small, simple heart stands against a black background. On the bottom right corner Kinger from "The Amazing Digital Circus" show has a sad posture and expression and he says the quote: "In this world, the worst thing you can do is making people feel like they're not wanted." And finally, at the top right the following is written: You know what hurts more than the evils of the world? Remembering that you are loved.

"Uh-oh, the launch sales ain't looking that hot. Quick, which demographic hasn't been appealed to yet? Uhhh, uhhh. Oh! The squid game! Feed that bad boy to Marketing! Of course it does not matter how early in development it is! Early sales are in the line here!"

Is this the downfall of JWE's money schemes? Not convinced (lotsa folks willing to bleed their hearts out for corporations), but it might be a good start.
Screenshot of Bluesky post. It reads: "DO NOT BUY JURASSIC WORLD EVOLUTION 3 They're using ai generation in their game, boycott this shit and force their hand to remove this garbage from their game entirely." The post also links to the game's Steam page and it includes a screenshot that reads: "AI GENERATED CONTENT DISCLOSURE The developers describe how their game uses AI generated Content like this: Scientists' avatars are created using generative AI."

Couldn't resist
Dorothy, a blonde college girl from the webcomic "Dumbing of Age", stands in the middle of her room at night while facing the wall. The meme caption "everyone is so mean 2 me 💔" is edited over the screenshot panel.

Hm, an AI advert. :/
A Vasko video in which he promotes an AI generated game. The video is titled "The Evolution of AI in Video Games", the first six minutes he compares NPC programming and RNG to LLM generative AI. The remaining fifteen minutes are an iterview with the devs about the use of generative AI to generate characters and their gameplay.

An edited picture of three white wolves taken in autumn. The wolves at the sides look as if they were laughing out loud while the wolf in the middle looks unamused and moody.

For the love of Babel

Can youtube please STOP auto ""translating"" shit? Can I see stuff in the language that it was made or I choose to see?

The mistranslations really stop being funny the millionth time.
A video by Lindsay Nikole called "Animals that are metal as fuck" forcefully mistranslated by youtube as "animales de metal como la mierda" (literally translated as "animals that are made of metal like shit"). A video by SpitBrix called "LEGO Sets That Overuse One Piece" forcefully mistranslated by youtube as "Sets lego que abusan de One Piece" (literally translated as "LEGO sets that abuse One Piece", the frasing makes it sound like LEGO is abusing One Piece, the manga and anime by Eiichiro Oda).

My results from the Sonic Syndrome Test. Sonic characters are placed on a radar chart. Clockwise: Sonic (ADHD), Amy Rose (dependent), Knuckles (OCPD), Dr. Eggman (narcissistic) Metal Sonic (schizoid), Tails (anxiety), Shadow (PTSD). Shadow, Tails, Amy and Knuckles ar all well above 50%.

Is it me or is Musk looking more and more like an insmouther?

You don't think...
Elon Musk's mug, wearing fascist parafernalia. Insmouther from developer Frogware's "The Sinking City". Basically a man with suspiciously fish-like features.

Nowadays I'll get arrested for exceeding every speed limit imaginable (also, does "vehiucalr manslaughter" apply if you were on foot?)

But a year or so ago I'd get arrested for genocide and violating the Geneva conventions!

Jurassic World Rebirth shitposting
A tumblr thread in which a picture of a gorilla with the photoshopped head of a beluga is compared to Jurassic World Rebirth's mutant hybrid. The original post with the picture says: "After the release of a trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth, here is a full image of the upcoming mutant in brought daylight: the Belugarilla" The following post reads: "Oh my god It's a whale-gorilla, gorira-kujira, GOJIRA RUUUUN! IT'S GODZILLAAAA!"
