Former Microsoft executive’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein comes under scrutiny Seattle Times business reporter Alex Halverson has written about connections between Epstein and former Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold.

If the paleo community is going to be serious about Horner’s connection to Epstein, we also have to be serious about Myhrvold’s, because guess who contributed photos of animals mating to Epstein’s birthday book and has been appearing in new paleo papers this year - including the new Spinosaurus.

Due to a mix up with paperwork from almost eight years ago, I will no longer be available for uni this year. However! This does mean I’m available for coms again if anyone wants a $15 (nzd) sketch commission. #commissionsopen #commission

Y'all need to watch this video because this video explains how much Jack Horner is a creep and the misogyny in the paleontology community.

Science is Enabling Predators
Science is Enabling Predators YouTube video by GeoDuck GeoScience

Hey everyone, my video essay "Science is Enabling Predators" is now up on YouTube.

This video really took a LOT out of me to make, but it was on a very close-to-home topic that has been thrust into the global spotlight, and urgently needed to be made.

My next video, filmed last night, is about how science enables abuse. Here's one of the thumbnail options I made. Doing some editing this evening.

Frosty faces on the chickadees today. These tiny birds maintain a body temperature of 40C - that's a 70C gradient across only a few centimeters from the outside air to the bird's core! These little guys blow my mind. #birds 🌿

Re: Artemis.
I don't care about Moon missions. I don't care about Mars missions. I care about tackling climate change and safeguarding the future for our species and global ecology. The priorities of government funding bodies are incomprehensible to me.

The Trump administration says it will dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research, a cornerstone for American climate and weather science. I went on NPR today to explain what this could mean for climate research.

Save NCAR from being dismantled today! The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

If you are in the US and you would like to send a message to your elected representative about the proposed dissolution of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, @agu.org makes it easy with a template here: agu.quorum.us/campaign/151... #AGU25

Some people on BlueSky are very upset at me for posting this. They're claiming it's all sensationalist lies, and that I'm trying to make trans people scared. That's really upsetting because everything I said below is true. Labour is trying to ban us from all single-sex spaces, this is a fact.

Please. If you can't *clearly* say that *israel's* genocide is bad this late in 2025 then what is even the point of this sort of thing?

why is the labour government allowing far right anti-trans groups like 'sex matters' and 'lgb alliance' to dictate policy?
