skeletal reconstruction of Irritator challengeri

The #fossil of Irritator challengeri is finally going back to Brazil after 35 years in Germany. This is a major event for #DecolonizeScience and the #restitution of natural history specimens.

Let's talk about #IrritatorBelongstoBR. [1/17]

lol

freak the fuck out and panic sell everything right now

conflating all of these stats about web traffic and members is intentional. it means people who read this don't think to advocate for changes to laws around marital rape but rather to support restrictions on porn and on our ability to use the internet anonymously

You are being lied to. And there's only one man who knows the truth. Jim Haggerty returns, only on InfoWars.

ofc in the first place in botswana you'd hear of botho rather than ubuntu, so it's a little different anyway. botho has much more to do with the idea of respect than anything else

and ig i feel like it's kinda important in a context where a lot of people (and especially people in power) who appeal to tradition do so to push obedience more than anything else, since that saying would directly be translated as "a chief is a chief by the people"

y'know i was thinking about ubuntu as a set of concepts because of the reductive bullshit around that one linux distro, and i was reminded of a saying i haven't heard in years on account of not living in botswana anymore, "kgosi ke kgosi ka batho", which is a governance thing more than anything else

ohhhhh my god u got blocked by why? should we tell everyone? should we throw a party? should we invite aaron roderick?

I’m genuinely fascinated by this particular subjective disposition toward the world and toward novel information. It’s this, like, three-cued insta-ragequit that seems to always have a subtext of “I DEMAND that you render yourself and your speech entirely transparent to ME SPECIFICALLY at ONCE”

This is a great example of the pathological thought pattern that I keep seeing everywhere on here but can never put a name to. It’s this like, aggressively escalatory response to the idea that some random user wrote a post that’s not tailored to your prior knowledge & reading comprehension level

It’s actually vital to the health of our country to disenfranchise rural voters, who have spent the entire lifespan of the republic demonstrating that they can’t responsibly exercise their franchise

People who were openly rooting for a president-for-life a year ago mad about gerrymandering sounds like you’re just losers who don’t like losing

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

the scene at the northern virginia democrats' redistricting party is wild. as balloons and streamers fall, party members are rolling their eyes back in their heads and levitating in a circle as chants of "blood. blood. blood" echo through the auditorium. it's exciting to see the base this fired up

here's one of those insane, horrible connections of the contemporary era

the primary liaison between the UAE and the genocidaires in the RSF over this time has been Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan

it's cool that this is literally just 100% Trump's fault

The big round thing near the north western corner is the Brandberg. The other smaller round thing down to the south with the little mountain in the middle is the Messum volcanic crater. Prettiest desert in the world.

Some amazing geologic features near the area where I'm currently doing some work in Namibia showing the Brandberg and the Messum crater. See alt for detailed description. Prettiest desert in the world imho.

See this is the funny kind of political crime

Let me ask this question: how do you expect "dialogue" when one side screams slurs nonstop until they get fired from their job, only to have their court case bankrolled by the billionaire in the mold castle. Every single one of them is at some stage of Glinner-ification. What would that achieve

A campaign to protect one of the planet’s only expanding kelp forests takes shape CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Diving in the Great African Seaforest, with its tightly packed towering kelp stipes that can rise up to 9 meters, or 30 feet, from the seabed, is a surreal experience, even…

South Africa is home to one of the world's only expanding kelp forests, yet most of it lacks protection.

Researchers are now documenting the thousands of species within the Great African Seaforest to drive new conservation efforts.

i wasn't using it but it is such unserious site things that access to the Quiet Posters feed, which is part of the functionality the site has advertised on official accounts just broke for 300k people because it runs out of the tech advisor's personal account and he's a thin skinned AI baby

Feminism win!

I don’t even know what to say
