This isn’t just a fossil, it’s a mummyThe positioning of the right arm is so lifelike, it’s highly likely that Rex Junior was buried alive in an event such as a flash flood, as opposed to being buried after death like the vast majority of fossils or mummiesThanks to this fossil, palaeontologists now have a better understanding of the positioning of the furcula or “wishbone” and Sue, the most complete T. Rex fossil found and on display, is being updated accordinglyThere have been mummies of other dinosaurs found in the area, including a triceratops - the details of which have yet to become public news but have palaeontologists excited to update the modern understanding of the species’ biology some time in 2027

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.
I did spend like 90 minutes across two sessions to beat the Grand Master Challenge, and only peeked at the DLC challenges before deciding that was enough Astro Bot for a while
I mostly play games on easy mode because spending time being frustrated feels like a waste of my one precious life, but tonight I platinumed Astro Bot and it does feel nice to know I can still conquer frustrating things in games and have a good time
