#SauropodWinsday is here again, and this week I have the early, just-barely-a-sauropod Vulcanodon. The setting is Early Jurassic Zimbabwe, and the composition and colours are based on the back cover of the album Felt Mountain by #Goldfrapp.

If I ever make a custom fork of #Mastodon for sauropods.win, I'm gonna call it Vulcanodon for sure.

During his 50-year career drawing Peanuts, Charles Schulz avoided strips that touched on political issues. He made a notable exception when it came to book banning with a series that started on October 23, 1972, more than 50 years ago. You can read all 15 strips through this link. Enjoy!

"You can't recycle your way out of climate change. You can't shop your way out of monopoly. Systemic problems need systemic solutions.

What the individual can do is think of themself as part of a movement. If you join a movement, then you and the people with you can make change. But not you on your own."

Did you know that scene from Futurama where Fry's dog waits for him is from a movie that was based on a true story? imgur.com/gallery/1c9Ikce

@flexghost I haven't watched TV in 20 years, but I'm going to take an educated guess and say "yes"

The funniest aspect is how the Taliban is literally praising Elon Musk, saying he's "making Twitter great again".

@ancient_catbus I have a wife a 3 kids waiting for me to come home safe, and it's only 49 weeks before Christmas!

@taylorlorenz Many people on this "app" have been here longer than a month or two. We welcome all the new refugees from the bird place, but if the first thing you do when you get here is try to change things, that's not going to be popular with us old-timers.

@georgetakei Yes, well, it isn't boomers who are getting radicalized at places like 4chan. We underestimate them at our own peril.

Here's a helpful household tip: Always keep several barbecue forks in the backseat when you drive. That way if you get in an accident you will be impaled and die so you won't go bankrupt from all the medical bills.

@godpod Yes, the news-papers and TV stations that let them get away with it.
