what I love about the Triassic is it has an intriguing mix of organisms more commonly associated with the Paleozoic, like Temnospondyls, weird Xiphosurans, and Dicynodonts, organisms unique to the Mesozoic, like Pterosaurs and Sauropods, and organisms that are still with us today, like Theropods, Triops, several insect orders, decapods, and so on. Then there's all the things unique to the Triassic: Sharovipteryx, Tanystropheus, and so many more.

Quand le vivant était géant
« La disparition des dinosaures non aviens n’a pas signé la fin du gigantisme dans le monde vivant. Des mammifères géants aux insectes et plantes XXL, zoom sur ces colosses qui ont peuplé notre planète, et dont l’énormité masquait souvent de nombreuses faiblesses. »

Ok #lazyweb show me what you got.
I'm looking for a low(er) #carb protein or meal replacement bar. It can have some real sugar, just not much.
Tricky bit is I'm looking for no sugar alcohols, and most of the #keto or #paleo ones I see have erythritol or malitol or other sugar alcohols.
For "fake" sweeteners, monkfruit is acceptable as long as it's not cut with the sugar alcohols.
So anything with nuts, dark chocolate, almond flour, butter, all good.
So, any suggestions?
Amino acid-specific #isotope analysis is really shaping up like a very promising tool for #paleo #ecology and #environmental studies!

🧵3/3
The product fantasy of this "meat", raw or not, from whatever animal, is a strange thing.
It is presented in this naturalistic fallacy wrapper, which wraps around an appeal to tradition fallacy wrapper, which actually wraps an empty box of hope that's actually techno-hopium:
It is about a "meat technology", and I don't mean just zootechny.
It's the technology of extracting scarce "dense nutrients", nutrient mining. And so it carries the status of luxury... and not just any luxury, but luxury that provides "powers".
The "powers" aspect is important for the fantasy, for biohacking. Much like the "nofap" types believe in powers from semen retention, the carnivores believe in other powers that they gain. And those powers are useful in the rat race, to dominate others, to win. In their fantasy.
Vegans aren't immune from such beliefs, especially raw vegans; I bet that those are more likely to go from vegan to ex-vegan to carnivore on their "journey".
Anyway, in the old days, this would be a talk about magical beliefs. They're treating meat like an alchemical potion from fantasy games. In modern times, this is about pseudoscience, a power-up.
Any sufficiently obscure pseudoscience is indistinguishable from magic.
That's the spirit of advertising these uber-carnist diets.
MEAT is sold to these "high-status males" (seeking) like those science-fiction pills from last century, those pills that contained all the nutrients and you could replace an entire meal by swallowing a couple of those pills.
They are not actually selling some true paleo diet, they're selling a fantasy of the past packaged as science-fantasy present:
The 🥩red pill.
And the extra layer of grift, because it appeals to extremely ignorant people, is that it works on the conspiracy logic easily:
"the meat pill technology was always there, it was just being hidden by a globalist conspiracy!"
The retroactive implication that the meat power-gaining solution was always there is following the scam method of making the target think that they were always right, that they are smart without knowing that they are smart. That's like a drug for fools and people who believe that they were born perfect.
Of course, the meat pill works only so much for marketing, so it's usually accompanied by supplements.
The conspiracy aspects, which are also seen in the denial of science, are a very obvious funnel to fascist beliefs, with an ecofascist bent.
The retroactive implication of the grift, with its conspiracy, is that common one in fascism: the myth of being fallen. Whether it's fallen from some paradise or fallen from space or fallen from the top of the "food chain", it's about The Fall.
In the paleo-conspiracy, humans, at least a certain... "subspecies" of humans, fell from the glorious past of maximally manly men when the evil Poaceae plants enslaved him 10000 years ago, and it has just gotten worse with industrial agriculture. The grifters promote a cure for The Fall, a restoration to well deserved glory.
The palingenesis consists of that rebirth as Fred Flintstone barbarian macho man model of extremely toxic masculinity.
The nation, however, isn't necessarily identified by nationality. In some cases, it can be, if the nation is based on settler-colonialism which usually came with pastoralist entrepreneurs (very European). But the nation can simply be any cult, any religion, any ethnicity, any special tribe, united in spirit.
The Nation of Meatflakes.
These are not harmless movements, fascism is never harmless.

"The Right’s ‘Natural’ Meat Obsession Is a Regressive Fantasy" by @sentientmedia
<💬>
Another component for Kennedy of what constitutes “natural” is taking on things like red food dye, seed oils and ultra-processed foods — while promoting tallow, raw milk and grass-fed beef.
</💬>
https://sentientmedia.org/mahas-natural-foods-obsession/
Vegans often are faced with fallacious arguments, and one of the most common is the Naturalistic fallacy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy
However, this is often a bad faith disguise. The use of naturalistic fallacies in these contexts, such as the claim that consuming animals is "good" because it's natural, is a disguise for another more insidious fallacy: the traditionalist fallacy or "appeal to tradition".
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_tradition
The traditionalist fallacy is, in this context, the argument that "consuming animals is good because we've done it for thousands of years".
Traditionalism is heavily political, as the people are finding out again in places such as the US. It's sometimes known as "paleoconservatism", and it should be no surprise that the popularity of the "paleo diet" culturally connects to this.
Conservatives, ever since the rise of modernity (end of 'traditional' society, end of monarchism and feudalism) have been trying to reinvent the past through pseudointellectual and pseudoscientific efforts. This has been at the heart of incredible amounts of suffering and horror since then. I have some notes on that on my pinned thread: https://veganism.social/deck/@veganpizza69/110813538364525265
Bullshit & snake oil are not vegan.

Loving the discussion surrounding this @PNASNews publication on Phanerozoic #paleo #temperature evolution, one of the most interesting #paleoclimate discussions in my opinion.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2400434121
Critique: 6-10 degrees #tropical #ocean #temperatures during the #Ordovician seem very low to me, especially considering that in this time (450 million years ago) corals were thriving. The critical comment by Ethan Grossman and colleagues therefore seems fitting.
Congratulations to Elisa Ziegler and the Palmod co-authors on the new paper on #paleo #climatechange in the journal Climate of the Past 🎉
Our new paper looks into systematic changes in higher-order moments of temperature and precipitation distributions based on 💻 simulations of the 27000 years of climate. This is interesting, because from the 🧊 Glacial Maximum 21 thousand years ago to today the 🌍 warmed by around 5 degrees🌡️, leading to the loss of ice sheets over the Deglaciation, and culminating in the warm Holocene -- every step of the way led to changes in climate dynamics 🌬️ 🌄.
