It’s pretty awesome that after literally decades of speculation and search, they finally, actually found a planet around Barnard’s Star. It’s either a gas dwarf or ice-ball with a nitrogen atmosphere, but a planet none the less.

The current administration sees protecting industry as part of the agency’s mission and does not want to consider information that would encourage taking action that might reduce industry profit even if it’s based on sound science

Well, that isn’t really that bad. Even Pew reports they typically get between 5-15%...

In fairness, the World of Ice and Fire book hints that they may have been created through magic.

The boundaries haven’t been changed. There are separate court challenges for both the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase monuments. How they turn out won’t just determine whether my favorite places in the US will still exist; the outcomes will set a potentially devastating precedent that essentially determines whether…

Jodie Whittaker has a Yorkshire accent. That accent is heard in one of my favorite areas of the UK, and I am going to be so happy to hear it from the Doctor!

Now THAT was an awesome trailer. I can't fucking wait.

Always happy to see a new ankylosaurid, but a new dinosaur out of Grand Staircase-Escalante is even better. That place is a goldmine.

I’ve always liked the German name, popularized through The Ring of the Nibelungen: Lindwurm.
