When the dust settles one day, some of these goons will ask for forgiveness and try to insert themselves in museums or academia or palaeo. And it will be my personal pleasure to pave the path of rehabilitation and redemption with cobble stones.
The whole shield of the Americas is disgusting, it is horrible, and it makes me physically sick just learning about it.
VanityFair ran a piece comparing him to Mr. Ripley... in 2003. If anything, you read this and think, "huh... maybe he is a fraudster..."

I'd hope self-preservation would be the bare minimum.
A shady rich person wants to give you money, but then you Google him and find that he's never even made it to the Forbes 400. So you think a) this is a scam, or b) I'd be on my way to collateral damage ville.
By 2008, this was already too low!
Fellow men, I do not know how low the bar should be, but I refuse to accept it being "I didn't do it because my mom told me not to"-low.
I am only saying this because they brought it to the public discussion by publishing it.

Yet Another Mexican Citizen Dies in ICE Custody
The unidentified victim is the 9th Mexican citizen to have been killed in ICE detention since the beginning of 2025; this time in Adelanto, California.
"There are no longer even lukewarm attempts to reconcile legitimate ideologies such as democracy or human rights"
Lenia Batres, Minister of Mexico's Supreme Court of Justice
"This elite espouses a mixture of the ideologies that have underpinned the most brutal moments of this capitalism: supremacism (fascism, Zionism, racism), interventionism (coups), and neoliberalism."
So not thrilled to see what exponential stupidity in the Republican regime will add to this fucking mess.
4/4
I am sad because I don't know how much the Republican regime is influencing these decisions.
And that makes me anxious, because we got into this mess by a stupid Obama administration that "didn't know" the Mexican Secretary of Security was a cartel member.

For instance:
I celebrate El Menchoβs death with joy. Rest in piss.
I am outraged by how the Mexican Army is using this as a rehabilitation tour despite the Mexican blood spilled during the war on drugs.

A person can experience many emotions at once, even if the news portrays people as unidimensional characters.
Bear that in mind when reading news of people celebrating the deaths of monsters or questioning the means to those ends.

Last week, amidst the hoopla over a new Speen, @fishfetisher.bsky.social suggested a review of naming papers in fancy journals in response to a post by @daveyfwright.bsky.social - I got bored after work and now I have (some) data!

Editor's note: There's a bit of a line making the rounds for last few years that illegal drug activity in this country (Mexico) is primarily driven by US demand, often appears on social media alongside a video or pic of some zombified fentanyl users, which I believe is flawed & even regressive
I remember when my parents consumed the energy of a country and a next generation's hydric resources before I turned 18.
Turns out the artificial intelligence were the billionaires we were told were smarter than us along the way.
π¨#ΓltimaHora | Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias "El Mencho", lΓder del Cartel Jalisco Nueva GeneraciΓ³n (CJNG), fue abatido la maΓ±ana de este domingo durante un operativo federal en el municipio de Tapalpa, Jalisco.
I particularly liked that Marsh is portrayed in a bad light, because I think the mythologisation of "the Bone Wars" and his antics normalised the stealing of fossils, the racism, and the cultural appropriation in palaeo academic culture and museum exhibits.
yaledailynews.com/articles/voi...
Also, recommendations on historical fiction are very welcome.
The book I mentioned in the podcast is "Dragon Teeth" by Michael Crichton, which was the first piece of pop media I saw put the Bone Wars in its historical context: the genocide and displacement of the Native Americans.
Thank you Kit Marie for the invite and thank you for the chat! I really enjoyed the topics we discussed and the questions people asked!
The co-founder of @itiscolossal.bsky.social George Church has been shown to have deep ties with Epstein, more than he let on, and should be ostracised from the palaeontological, ancient DNA, and conservation communities
edition.cnn.com/2026/02/19/p... @tetzoo.bsky.social
On July 24, 2025, the Wall Street Journal reported that a letter from Myhrvold containing wildlife photos from a recent trip to Africa was included in a leather-bound birthday book given to Epstein in 2003, three years before criminal charges were first filed against Epstein. The photographs included "a monkey screaming, lions and zebras mating, and a zebra with its penis visible." The letter commented that the photos "seemed more appropriate than anything I could put in words."

If we're rightly going to scrutinise Jack Horner and the people and institutions that associate with and enable him, we need to hold everyone to the same standard.

Being in this book doesn't mean these people knew about Epstein's sex trafficking or were involved in any way
He would be arrested about 10 years later
Epstein email to Myhrvold (who, again, for context, had just written a cookbook): "thanks for the books. Pistachio ice cream didn't make it." Myhrvold replies, "...pussy doesn't FedEx well either! Some things you have to be there" Epstein responds, "No so fast, kimo sabe. It's call fed sex"
Following up to the "fed sex" email, Myhrvold responds, "Hmmm... That sounds more like the sex you get in federal prison... but I guess you'd know more about that than me."
"But maybe they didn't know about #Epstein's history!", you might be saying in defense of these shithead billionaires. And to that, I present the following:
If the paleo community is going to be serious about Hornerβs connection to Epstein, we also have to be serious about Myhrvoldβs, because guess who contributed photos of animals mating to Epsteinβs birthday book and has been appearing in new paleo papers this year - including the new Spinosaurus.
Happy birthday! ππ
Can we start using βEpstein classβ to describe scientists? π€
