Wenn @GrueneBundestag & @dielinke wirklich glauben, dass wir schon mit der Zeit vergessen werden, dass sie uns, direkt nachdem wir dazu aufgerufen haben sie zu wählen, SOFORT im #Bundesrat als #Terroristen markiert haben .. hey, #Mastodons haben ein Elefanten-Gedächtnis.

Discovery reveals giant flying squirrel once soared over Southern Appalachia
https://phys.org/news/2025-02-discovery-reveals-giant-flying-squirrel.html paper: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10914-025-09751-w

"A giant #FlyingSquirrel—about the size of today's house cats—once soared through the skies over what is now Southern #Appalachia, gliding above #rhinos, #mastodons and red #pandas... closest relatives are the giant #FlyingSquirrels in Japan, China and Indonesia... somehow they crossed the Bering Land Bridge alongside other #mammals about 5 million years ago."

Max’s Mobile Museum #M3 is out for the 2nd time in two days, this time at San Jacinto Elementary. We’re showing the differences between American & Pacific mastodons. The femur of Pacific mastodons (on the right) are visibly more robust than in American mastodons (on the left).

It's the penultimate day of our focus week. Today we ask for your #animals in archives! Bonus points if you have any mastodons...

To kick us off here is a lovely cat called Bunch looking after Alice Laden, who worked as the housekeeper for playwright (and co-founded of LSE) George Bernard Shaw.

Eeek. It’s depressing how quickly #Bluesky is becoming transphobic af ngl. Soooo many trump supporters are flooding in.

This is why I prefer #Mastodons way of federation. I’ve literally only come across 3 or 4 MAGA fuckwits in the last 2 years, let alone the last day.

From last October. The pods were still hanging on the honey locust tree because the large Ice Age mammals that used to eat them and spread the seeds just never come around anymore. I read but haven’t tested it that the stuff inside the pods around the seeds is sweeter than honey (not recommended b/c I don’t know if it’s toxic). Someone had a sweet tooth and it seems to be mastodons. Traces of these pods have been found in their manure. 1/2 #mastodons #mastodons #trees #anachronisms

On my birthday today I got many gifts

But, not the White Hawk which is being presented here by two courtiers to a seated Raja in this c1760 CE #Pahari #IndianMiniaturePainting from #Punjab Hills #Jammu sold by Lyonand Turnbull on June 12 for £47,701 (Mildred Archer collection)

Banner logo I did for my hubby's ( @lettosprey ) new desktop app, @trunkfriends, which notifies you if you've lost any friends or followers in case of instance defederation. If you use it, we suggest running it at least twice a month, to help you keep track of your connections here! :)

A little known piece of John Mastodon lore; before he got into social media,
he took his shot at competing with the Ninja Turtles with
'Mastodons: The First Encounter' on VHS in 1997.

I wrote this for my good friend @dgar

**** Australian Rock II ****

An Aussie came travelling
From toxic land

Where ravenous fauna
Enjoy the odd native, while watching his band.

He brings music and joy
To #Mastodons masses

Songs of journeys
To Moon and planets afar

Songs of proud ladies
And Flat earth affairs

Jokes so contrived
You laugh, till you cry

Today 6000 souls celebrate
The day of his birth

Following his laughter
Singing his songs

Offering Jars of sauce, for the barbie
To help him explore

Ways of restoring folks souls
So, human hearts do endure

I did not know that the #Fediverse was this old:

"A museum blog says #mastodons generally roamed California from about 5 million to 10,000 years ago."
