Jack Horner being in the Epstein files is not something I had on my bingo card for 2026.... Horner seemingly visited Epstein's ranch multiple times, including apparently with a student.
Email from Leslie Groff to Jeffrey Epstein Subject: Jack Horner to Ranch "Jack Horner says to please tell you he would love to see your ranch and he would be abailable to come any day after July 25th." Email from Lesley Groff to Jeffrey Epsetin Should I check in with Jack Horner? He believes hens to leave for the ranch on July 26 (2 weeks from today). Do I need to tell him plans are in a holding pattern? Jeffery Epstein responds: delay him one day Lesley Groff responds: Another tid bit! JE is asking me to delay jack horner one day! So this would be an arrival of July 27 depart 29... I have emailed Jack to aske if this would work with his schedule.... :) Email from John Horner to Jeffrey Epstein 6/29/2012 Hi [redacted] Since i don't really know how long it would take to get from Albuquerque to the ranch and visa versa [sic], and don't know how I'm to get there (would someone be picking me up or should I rent a car) it would probably be best if you just booked the flight for me. Delta Airlines connecting through Salt Lake is the most convenient for me. My official name and frequent number [sic] is: John Robert Horner Delta # [REDACTED] The geology maps are perfect. Jack email from Lesley Groff to Jeffrey Epstein "Reminder: John Horner and student to visit ranch today... [redacted] =ill [sic] be taking care of them...

I never got around to reposting my Weird Duck Time comic this year! Also, unrelatedly, today is a good day to help out at standwithminnesota.com
A comic called the four seasons of bird watching. In panel 1, labeled elegant songbird spring, a yellow-throated vireo sings against a green background. In panel 2, labeled subtle treasures of summer, a hermit thrush stands on moss in a dark green forest. In panel 3 labeled magnificent fall migrations, broad-winged hawks soar over fall foliage. In panel 4, labeled weird duck time, a northern shoveler, surf scoter, and red-breasted merganser open their strange bills and yell.

Let’s sketch one of the giants of the Jurassic, Torvosaurus!

Torvosaurus was a genus of megalosaurid theropod that lived during the latest part of the Middle Jurassic and the Late Jurassic. The genus contains two described species found in North America and Europe

更新世の日本にトラはいなかった！ いままでトラとされていた亜化石はホラアナライオンのもの！ 26の標本の古代DNA分析をおこない、このうち青森・静岡・山口の5つからmtDNAが抽出できて、すべてPanthera spelaeaに内包された。日本列島は氷河期も比較的温暖で生息環境的にはトラ向きだったとされるが、トラが極東アジアに進出したのは間氷期で、タイミング的に日本と大陸をつなぐ陸橋がなかったのだろうと。北京大・コペンハーゲン大・総研大などの共同研究 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
