Bro i can't even describe this vietnam war flashback.....there's 5 guys in jeans and thrifted military jackets in what is clearly someone's backyard......a bloody helmet on a garden fence is meant to symbolize how many brothers in arms they've lost.....they just stuck a blond wig on the old priest to show how young he was back then.......his gf just showed up and stepped on a land mine and died....which is why he joined the priesthood...the editing feels like a fever dream
How can you talk about this movie without showing the fucking dinosaur
Highly Conceptual Woodwork Textured Tattoos Feature Floral And Animal Subjects
Tattoo artist Pony Reinhardt etches powerful and elaborate tattoos of wildlife, floral and natural elements merged with stars and planetary configurations. The expansive body art is similar in texture to that of vintage woodcut etchings, lending an organic feel to the entire artwork. The awarded and accoladed Reinhardt graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art and her work has been featured in the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art. She currently heads the exclusive tattoo studio Tenderfoot Studio in Portland.
I got a request for a nighttime/space background with a purple sky and yellow stars, so I mucked around for a bit and here’s what I came up with
it’s not strictly pixel art because I used lots of gradients but w/e
if you wanna use this you can and I’d personally suggest setting it to repeat-x, attaching it to the bottom of the window and making the background colour the same colour as the very top of the image. credit is appreciated but not required, just don’t claim them as your own.
I’m going to scream.
Configurable *UP TO* 16gb RAM but that costs more than SEVENTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS.
The M1 chip isn’t fucking magic and a pastel tint to your -
Oh my god I just noticed that they ACTUALLY describe the keyboard as magic.
Anyway HOPE YOU ENJOY PAYING EXTRA FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING USB 3.0 PORTS.
IN YOUR DEVICE WITH NO OPTICAL DRIVE SO ANY OPTICAL DRIVE WOULD HAVE TO BE CONNECTED VIA USB. BUT NOBODY USES CDs THESE DAYS RIGHT IT’S ALL IN THE ICLOUD THAT’S NOT A PROBLEM RIGHT BUY APPLE FOREVER RIGHT.
HOPE YOU DON’T NEED AN ERGO KEYBOARD INSTEAD OF A MAGIC KEYBOARD FUCK YOU IT’S NOT AESTHETIC ENOUGH SO IF YOU WANT TO CONNECT IT YOU HAVE TO PAY MORE FUCKING DEAL WITH IT.
Also that is a non computer person reviewing a computer and it couldn’t suck off apple any harder if it tried but oh my fuck you can find a two-year-old used dell or lenovo or HP with an i7 processor on ebay for like five hundred dollars and stuff it full of RAM and throw in two 2tb SSDs and get a fucking 32″ monitor and I’m pretty sure ALL of that would cost less than the stripped-down model of this fucking imac and yes it would take up more space on your desk and wouldn’t be fucking mint green or whatever but it would be an actually functional and powerful desktop instead of a nice display with a fucking tablet buried inside of it oh my GOD you can only upgrade these things to 16GB RAM and you can’t add an aftermarket graphics card and I don’t understand why people continue to give apple so much fucking money

Round One: Abditosaurus vs Ibirania
Factfiles:
Abditosaurus kuehnei
Artwork by @i-draws-dinosaurs, written by @i-draws-dinosaurs
Name meaning: Walter Kühne’s forgotten reptile
Time: 70.5 million years ago (Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous)
Location: Tremp Formation, Catalonia, Spain
For a species only fully described in 2022, Abditosaurus as a fossil has a long history, stretching back to its discovery by Walter Kühne in 1954. Kühne began his palaeontological career as a political refugee from Germany after he was imprisoned by the Nazis as a communist sympathiser then forced to migrate to Britain in 1938. There he hunted for tiny Triassic mammal teeth, and in his later career he would find the fossil site where Abditosaurus was buried.
After collection expeditions in 1954 and 1955, the site was abandoned when funding for the dig was lost. The rest of the skeleton was assembled together piecemeal over the next six decades, with other researchers returning to the site in 1956, 1984, 1986, and 2012-2014! Finally, after decades of languishing in storerooms and being misassigned to other genera, Abditosaurus is back together as the most complete titanosaur ever found in Europe!
Ibirania parva
Artwork by @i-draws-dinosaurs, written by @i-draws-dinosaurs
Name meaning: Little wanderer of Ibirá (a municipality of São Paulo, Brazil)
Time: ~85 to 72 million years ago (Santonian to Campanian stages of the Late Cretaceous)
Location: São José do Rio Preto Formation, Brazil
Enormous sauropods keep making the news as the next giant behemoth, stacking up a roster of incredibly huge animals that push the limits of how big a land animal can get. But every now and then, a sauropod comes along that is just a certified Little Guy, and that is Ibirania! Described in 2022 as a new genus of saltasaurine, Ibirania is remarkably little even within this modest-sized clade. It clocks in at under 6 metres long and only a couple heads taller than the average human, which also makes it an extremely temptingly rideable size. Like that’s just a less messed up horse with some slightly more uncomfortable armour plates!
Another unique feature of Ibirania is the evidence for acute osteomyelitis in the leg of one specimen, an example of one of the many diseases that could and did affect dinosaurs throughout their probably pretty difficult lives. Not only that, but there are preserved blood parasites inside the leg bone that would have caused the infection, a definite first in dinosaur paleontology! Kinda sucks for the dinosaur, but also fascinating stuff!

I know that all birds are dinosaurs, but some birds are better at looking like dinosaurs than others.
stalkingyermom asked:
no but can you imagine little newton being obsessed with dinosaurs and lizards in general and then after he drifts with the kaiju brain and discovers dinosaurs were only on earth trying to destroy the planet his inner 5 years old feels like shit
kaijuno answered:
aw poor newt bby
also imagine: bb noot in dinosaur footie pyjamas with a hood and a tail and him refusing to take them off
yeah but what about adult noot in dinosaur footie pyjamas with the hood and the tail and refusing to take them off and hermann shouting at him because “it’s stupid and he cannot allow that kind of behavior in the lab”
Hermann eventually tries bribing him to take off the footie pyjamas with junk food and cuddles

hey, @bunjywunjy - this might be your jam (and any other dinosaur enthusiasts, it’s a heck of a read)
man that’s not just a heck of a read it’s fuckin GROUNDBREAKING is what it is!
this dude actually found a large fossil deposit that was created not just close to, but actually DURING THE K-PG EXTINCTION EVENT.
IT’S LITERALLY A WINDOW BACK IN TIME TO THE CHICXULUB IMPACT, AND TURNS OUT IT WAS WORSE THAN ANYTHING WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE IMAGINED
it’s a geologic snapshot of the apocalypse.
reading the full article is certainly a trip, and to summarize for those who are intimidated by longer reads:
- chicxulub is the given name for the meteor that struck/initiated the event
- the paleontologist within is described as making groundbreaking discoveries of multiple species every day, but many of his peers discount him because they’re grouchy old dudes he accidentally had a fragment of a turtle bone involved in a larger reconstruction of a fossil this one time and they won’t let him live it down.
- the extinction event was so fast and so destructive, this guy describes this particular dig-site as being so densely layered with dead and dying creatures, there is a lot of organic tissues that have been preserved, and he is able to even discern that many of the marine and freshwater fish may have still been alive as they were buried due to molten glass being found in their gills, implying they were still attempting to breathe.
- they looked into exactly when and how this could have happened, having freshwater and marine animals stacked on top of mammals and larger dinosaurs (including an amazing deinonychus forearm discovery he was able to match to feather fossils he was finding atop the pile), and rather it being the initial tsunami, they are fairly sure that it was caused by a seiche of catastrophic proportions, which would have been set off within the first hour of the event. denser and larger creatures sunk to the bottom, leaving lighter debris like leaves, small fish, feathers, and molten glass on the surface.
summary: terrifying!
This is fucking incredible
Holy SHIT!
Here’s a famous book snippet describing how feasible that we could find dinosaur fossils on the moon.
