An assortment of ferns from the Late Cretaceous of North America, as described by Holian et al. 2026. Specimens come from the Denver, Hell Creek and lower Raton Formations. I only included those found in the Cretaceous (and excluded a couple I deemed not worth illustrating.)

Digimon Story Time Stranger is great. I didn't enjoy Cyber Sleuth that much and this basically fixes every problem I had with it.

I just used an extremely cheesy line on an extremely beautiful girl and it worked

There was no milk left in the work fridge so i had to have soy milk for the first time and it's lowkey really good I get it now

Saw about 15 guitarfish on my walk this morning, so I don't have any problem picturing how common Myledaphus was in Hell Creek anymore

Sketch: dacentrurine and stegosaurine stegosaurs coexisting in the Morrison Formation

Alnashetri cerropoliciensis

Tired but couldn't help myself, so quick Spinosaurus mirabilis sketch. Proportions just taken from the paper (Sereno et al. 2026).

Taurovenator violantei sketch (very much based on skeletal by Dan Folkes)

Tyrannosaurus rex 2026 AMNH 5027 is the best one, sorry. In my mind there is no contest.

The new iguanodont with novel skin coverings. In addition to the large scute-like scales on the tail, the body is covered with what the author's describe as "spikes". The largest ones are about 4 cm long but almost a cm thick, resembling short quills. The smaller ones are hair or eyelash-like.

We've only got a trailer to go off but is the new monster from the Monarch show the best original kaiju Legendary has done? I do like the MUTOs and I though the ones from the first season of monarch weren't bad either.

The fact that "edtwt" is not a bunch of people supporting each other in their eating disorder recovery journeys, but instead a frighteningly large community of very mentally ill girls in social competition with each other over who can eat the fewest calories is a genuine horror story to me.

I just read this passage in The Lost World (the Crichton one) describing the main villain, and it's hysterical how perfectly this describes Elon Musk.

So tiktoks now have little button thay just says "AI" on them 🙄 I'm scared to even find out what it does

I know it's like pretentious or w/e to imply other people have no inner lives but the concept of two people texting each other both using ChatGPT generated messages (which we all know is definitely happening) fills me with a deep feeling of contempt.

I kind of want to rant about how (though I like it) Pandora doesn't work at all as an Alien planet and only makes any sense as a planet that was terraformed from earth some time in the distant past. Though gauging from what I've seen on Twitter the spec-evo people might get mad at me.

Sketch studies of the new whole-plant bennettitale described last week, Ohaniella.

Guillermo del Toro: "I've taken some liberties in adapting the Mary Shelly novel, I hope everyone understands." Ishiro Honda: "Frankenstein the deathless will fight a burrowing dinosaur with a glowing horn and radiation breath, signifying mankind will never understand the monsters we create."

Ngl I was expecting the new Tomb Raider dinosaurs to look worse considering the discourse on twitter. They are fine. Easily an improvement over previous entries in the series.

Corporations don't give you free stuff for naming your child after them anymore. Netflix would be a beautiful name for a baby girl but they don't respond to my emails.

I've been listening to The Hobbit audiobook and there is a line that directly implies that football exists in Middle Earth.
