I love the way my garage door remote control has not only up and down buttons but also left and right buttons.

I used to live in a flat below a couple who frequently engaged in noisy 3am coitus so I sent them a cease and desist letter addressed to 'the ho moaner'.

A bit late on #FossilFriday but this Ediacaran Mistaken point specimen has been on my desk haunting me this last month. It is the paratype of #Beothukis mistakensis. All know specimens of this sp. on the E Surface are oriented nearly perpendicular to the palaeocurrent doi.org/10.3389/fear...

$fractal like branches in 3 rows attributed to #Beothukis mistakensis. Fossil is a latex mold so what the bottom of the organism would have looked like if you had pulled it off the seafloor. From Mistaken Point Newfoundland$

The Triassic coprolites I have are from 'red beds' in the southern UK (sabkha-type deposits) - small, a mix of reptilian/croc/large fish. Nothing like your whoppers!

I'll upload some pics tomorrow, they are preserved in brecciated sediments and sandwiched between lovely layers of gypsum/anyhdrite

Oh yes, bullseye! :-) 🤟

I have a range of coprolites from the Triassic and as a matter of convention I wash my hands after handling them.

Lord Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail pays NO TAX in the UK.

The rest of us fund public services, he CHOSES not to. Yet we’re supposed to believe problems in the NHS are migrants’ fault? The utter cheek.

I dunno this looks like a pretty reliable vision of America in about eight months' time where citizens have to self-militarize and shoot their way to work and no cunt can spell.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
