I do enjoy watching YouTube videos on my TV, so that when the person talking refers to another video and points to an area of the screen, saying "the link is 'here'", it very definitely isn't because that UI feature isn't supported.

The rivers of Hell Creek were more dangerous than we imagined

A T-rex tooth, mosasaur tooth, and crocodilian upper jaw were found together in Hell Creek, North Dakota
Hell Creek wasn’t an ocean 66 million years ago but a river floodplain
How did mosasaur end up here?

Remember when we could have nice things?
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare...

Aeolian deposit, Hopeman Sandstone Formation. Remarkable how much detail of very small Permian reptilian footprints can be preserved in a damp siltstone substrate. #Ichnology #Permian

We have some bad news for the English. Following Australia's decision to ban social media among all under 16s, all their talented young cricketers are now going to devote all their time to learning cricket. It won't be possible to win a Test in Australia this century.
