🧪⚒️ Stromatolites can still grow in very salty waters; too salty for the organisms that outcompete them everywhere else. The last outposts of a form of life that, for a billion years or three, dominated the planet.

I do not understand why Romeo is like The Romantic Shakespeare Dude when there are an ABUNDANCE of absolute simps monologuing about how they'll die if they can't marry the woman they love and who also make less bad decisions. They're not *good* decisions but lower body counts, absolutely.

The ornate North American horned dinosaur Lokiceratops indicates strong endemism in these animals, rapid evolution, and suggests that there are still many species yet to find. A new article by me in BBC Wildlife.... www.discoverwildlife.com/dinosaurs/lo... #dinosaurs

New giant dinosaur with 'bizarre' horns discovered in the wild badlands of Montanawww.discoverwildlife.com With a colossal pair of blade-like spikes on the back of its frill, Lokiceratops rangiformis is one of the largest and most ornate horned dinosaurs ever found, say scientists.

i'm not accusing anyone of anything but if everyone in the tories had big money on labour winning this election their behaviour on campaign would look a lot like this

this is probably my fault sorry

@CBSNews: Veterans who served at secret base say it made them sick, but they can't get aid because the government won't acknowledge they were there. https://t.co/k2LPR9Ci5t

a tech guy saying something like "A bottleneck of writing is sentence generation" and then looking to a VC for investment bucks like a dog begging for a treat
