In Upstate New York, Ancient Arthropods Can Get Turned Into (Fool's) Gold Pyritized trilobites aren't just flashyβ€”they preserve incredible detail.

Heh heh, I assumed you were wading through your millions of replies trying to find it! ;-) Cute little guy.

It's nothing in terms of preservation from the trilobites at the Beecher's Bed in New York. Legs, antennae, eggs, all preserved in fool's gold. Stunning.

Here’s a video of some graupel (hail/snow combo) flying by at Stokksnes beach in #Iceland. It’s accumulating in my footprints.

[BTW I’ve been posting lots of videos on Instagram as the quality isn’t destroyed there]

Britain should send warships to the gulf, but chart them on 'the toddler route to bed' - out The Solent, around the Isle of Wight a few times, up the English channel, around the Orkneys, over the Arctic and by the time they get there the war will be over with the Special Relationship still intact πŸ‘

Nigel Farage said the ban on handguns brought in after Dunblane was β€œludicrous” and should be lifted, arguing handguns ought to be legalised and licensed again.

The man is deranged, he won't be happy until school shootings are happening in the UK again.

Just set up a machine learning model on my local computer to see what all the fuss is about. Incredibly complex to set up and implement. A vast array of fine-tuneable parameters when you finally get there.

You can really see these models were built by hardcore mathematicians and statisticians.

Tory post of a fake fiver with a terribly, terribly produced image of Keir Starmer as a worm. It looks nothing like any kind of currency. It is so deeply unfunny that it doesn't even do the thing where it becomes funny again.

At the most critical period in world political/environmental history we decided to invent a tool that can bring down governments with fake video imagery that consumes vast amounts of resources with the only benefit being the ancillary capability to produce images of animals with human female tits. πŸ‘
