So, I used the same likeness on the bird site, which I left quite a while ago. I'm also present on the Proboscidian site, which has a certain charm to me because it reminds me of the old BBS days. But I understand this one has been taking off too, and figured I'd give it a try.

I guess the true upper limit for RNA preservation isn’t known since we’ve only been doing it for ~15 years? Really cool tho Ancient RNA has a nice ring to it.

My almost 10-year-old son has a couple of friends over, and I just happened to have some Osage oranges that I collected yesterday—because I'm thinking of planting a tree—and so of course I had to grab the chance to teach the kids the delightful facts about Osage oranges and woolly mammoths:
The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests
Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.

Looking south, I am finding myself wondering if the recent capitulation by the SurrenderDem senate caucus wasn’t in spite of recent election success, but entirely because of it. Their power within the party seems to depend upon the failure of the party to make gains among the undessicated.

If there's one thing consistent about the Conservative Party of Canada, it's that they've since their inception snivelled "that's UNDEMOCRATIC" about anything that represents the majority of Canadians who want nothing to do with them.

Absolutely WILD that the development of sofrware proceeded with so little heed to record-keeping that 52 year old source code is a major archaeological trove that requires special tools to gain access to, like it's a treasure room in a sealed royal tomb from 3500 years ago.

Updating a bunch of building and road features for Humanitarian OpenStreetmap, and I just updated a tile where everything is mapped wrong in some significant way. It's like someone didn't even know what a city looks like. After a while, I started to wonder, "Wait. Was this mapped by #AI?"

Go ICE, get diced.
[P] This one is smaller, but...with ~57% of the results in, it looks like Fred Harran, the incumbent MAGA ICE-collaborator sheriff in Bucks County (my home county), is getting trounced.

The sheer irony of this loser running for city council on a "Clean up the City" slogan, spamming the public spaces of the ward with his signs, and then never coming to pick up all of his litter after the election. #yegcc
