I custom painted this caboose in #BAR #BangorAndAroostook livery. I realize that the caboose is not prototypical for the line, but no one seems to make the correct build. #HO #modelrailway #TruColor #HighBallGraphics

@simongerman600 The pictograms were aesthetically pleasing for sure, but they all appear to be male. Body proportions and postures are all male. They exclude female athletics completely.

@marsrader Define baby.

Babies do take steps. They are tentative and awkward. They usually lead to initial failure but eventual success.

@Stevestevens @BillyStrings @belafleckbanjo Have you seen Fleck’s documentary on the origins of the banjo? Incredible story and movie with some outstanding playing!

Such an important topic to discuss, and contemplate. Thank you @TheNewsAgents @maitlis and @lewis_goodall for inviting me to talk to you about it.

@EL_Bamforth @CurrieMuseum @MDofGreenview Wow! That beats finding an Albertosaur track in the Dunvegan! (1996)

@EL_Bamforth @CurrieMuseum @EvergreenParkgp You’re living your best palaeo-life! 🤓

@simongerman600 The Boomers resist immigration the most. They don’t realize that without replacement workers, their retirement is going to be hell.

As a GenX, I fear retirement because the glut of Boomers ahead of me consume everything and block the future prospects of Millennials and GenZs.

@simongerman600 Weddings should be done a cheaply as possible. Save all that money for a downpayment. That’s what I did (twice).

@Stevestevens Steve Hackett has done a marvellous rerecording of it on his Genesis Revisited II album, and plays it regularly in his set.

@HennesseyMrs @lockviewhigh @HRCE_NS The one on the right makes me think of Martian outwash plains.

[Western University @WesternU]

#WesternU planetary scientist Gordon Osinski @drcrater was named by @NASA to the #Artemis geology team that will develop the surface science plan for the first crewed lunar landing mission in more than 50 years. 🌑 He's the only co-investigator from a Canadian university. 🇨🇦

@brielarson Oo! What’s that P90 equipped guitar? I’d love to see a post about your guitar collection! 🎸

[Matthew West @MattWest_S4]

Check out those foliations!! 🤯

[Matthew West @MattWest_S4]

@DrWendyRocks I thought it might be! I haven’t been to Central Park since the 70s, but I still remember those incredible chevrons!! Thanks for sharing!!! 🪨🔬⚒️

[Matthew West @MattWest_S4]

@CBCAboutTime Totally agree about Beethoven’s 4th. For me the penultimate Beethoven symphony—second only to the 9th for number of spins at my house!

[Matthew West @MattWest_S4]

@DrWendyRocks Oo! Any closeups of that rock? Is it a schist?

[Matthew West @MattWest_S4]

@violadavis My wife and I rewatched Woman King this evening. The best movie of 2022. Ms. Davis should have won an Oscar for her wonderful performance. Thank you for the inspiration. ❤️
