    I kinda got into dinosaurs as a kid. Today, there are so many different collections of dinosaurs in various encyclopedias. My favorite from the new books is Micropachycephalosauarus. Just the idea that a little dino, like tini little guy, was running around headbutting things cracks me up.

      I hope it brings you joy to know that “dinosaur” kids are still memorizing these ever-growing lists. I work with kids, and the big dinosaur fan is still teaching me new dino things almost every day. We recently learned of a dinosaur that is basically another student’s name +saurus. That was a cute discovery.

    Do you think Jeff Bezos will push his Prime studio to make Homelander a hero now that he’s an ultra right wing supporter?

      He’s already the hero for the idiots. No need to change anything, it’s already the perfect allegory - just that they’re rooting for the villain.

    He looks like a Compsognathus kinda guy.

    (For the non-dino nerds Compsognathus means “pretty jaw”.)

      But which came first, the gallus gallus domesticus or the ovum?

    Would have been slightly funnier and nerdier with the Dimetrodon IMHO.
