I love when people take paleoart that's so old it doesn't even resemble anything close to a scientific reconstruction of the past and spin it off into its own fantastical design motif. It's like the opposite of Hauntology.
just some retrosaurs vibin in the old good antediluvian times. no phones on sight
Okay. Now I'm genuinely interested. This is what a paleo-themed film should do: take up the responsibility of scicomm and give the audience (perhaps stylised but) to a large degree scientifically-informed creature designs. This is the spirit JP/JW (arguably) needs to refind.

Ah, that's why they called them "Little Russians" (малоросійство) /j
Bolshevik Pavel Dybenko and Ukrainian anarchist Nestor Makhno during negotiations. November - December 1918
Westerners who consume a lot of Russian propaganda will confidently assure everyone that Ukraine is a brutal dictatorship and then Ukrainians will hit the streets within hours to protest their government’s terrible decisions.
The protest outside of Ivan Franko theater (the closest you can get to the presidential administration) was organized on short notice but extremely energetic. This isn’t an issue that can just slide by.
I hate the fact that Ukrainian society has very few safe spaces to discuss our internal problems and criticise our government outside of Ukraine without some fuckheads patronising us or concluding any internal problem is the sign Ukraine deserves to be invaded by Russia. Fuck it,
I wonder just how hard it is not to patronise Ukrainians, pointing out our flaws as justification for why we shouldn't criticise Russians. Ukrainian society is flawed, just as any other, duh. But guess what? We are very well aware of that. If anything,
A group of men who call themselves The Shield of Iceland have started walking around downtown Reykjavik, to supposedly guard against violence from foreigners. Many of the men, who wear Nazi symbols, ironically have criminal records for committing extreme violence themselves.
The mummy of ankylosaurid, Scolosaurus, described by the queer Hungarian icon, Franz Nopcsa, in 1928. The holotype with amazingly preserved "carpace" of osteoderms, scutes and skin impressions is on display at the Natural History Museum London.
the endpoint of capitalism: fake people listening to fake music to generate free money for the already wealthy while everyone else is cut out completely
Human cultural replacement. Not just AI music but AI listeners too - a fake and fraudulent way for Spotify to generate Ad revenue. Who needs humans when bots can click on links and trick advertisers into paying for fake engagement.
Ukraine lost its independence in the past because of strife and division at home. The sudden law to dismantle independent anti-corruption bodies, if signed by Zelensky, has the potential to spark the country’s first political crisis since the war began — and to prompt some…
Zelensky in 2019, shortly after being elected – and still active on his Facebook page: "We will never overcome corruption if you keep turning a blind eye to it. Are you being asked for a bribe? Being offered a 'kickback'? Please, don't stay silent! Contact the NABU hotline – 0…
So why is EU not doing anything? This has been going on for 18 months.
Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.…
I agree with every word Simon writes here… but you can’t talk about the collapse of the climate and the foundations of civilisation whilst using an AI image to make your point. You simply can’t. Please do better, scientists. We need to be on the same side.
Science literacy is collapsing. And with it, the foundations of civilization. People fear vaccines more than viruses. So diseases we once defeated are coming back. They fear GMOs more than hunger. So we reject tools that could feed millions. They fear nuclear more than climate…
Guess who's back for #jwe3 ? Now with male and female dimorphism!!
