Got aged like 50 thousand years today when my co-worker told me she STARTED year 7 in 2019. She's 19 now and graduated last year. Wtf do you mean 2019 wasn't like 2 years ago? I had to do the maths in my head like 3 times over.

I've seen lots of suggestions for what real prehistoric animal could have replaced the "mutadon" in Jurassic World Rebirth. Having seen the film now, I couldn't stop thinking what if it was a ground-dwelling predatory pterosaur, like has been suggested for Thalassodromeus.

I've already posted about this before but it is generally shocking how bad Google's AI overview they put on top of searches is. It isn't like it sometimes gets things wrong. It is ALWAYS wrong! You'd think they'd want to do something about that!
