Just a reminder - there was a recent opinion piece by an emeritus professor of British public law on Harry's titles and the ability to trip them. [\sigh** STRIP them, not TRIP them. It's Saturday morning and I stayed up late to go see the Aurora Borealis. Apologies.]With the Nigeria trip, the discussion of Harry's titles and why hasn't Charles stripped them has come up again. So we can't link back to other posts or users, but two other members of this sub have posted this article in recent months, and it is worth your time:Sunday, December 3, 2023, User WorthSpecialist1066, "Interesting article by British Lawyer: Should Prince Harry Be Stripped of His Titles?"Tuesday, February 13, 2024, User Upbeat_Cat1182, "Outstanding MUST READ Article Concerning the Legalities of Removing Harry’s Titles and Styles"The article in question is here:December, 2023, The Honourable Society of The Middle Temple, "To Strip or Not to Strip Prince Harry’s Titles" [ Archive | Original ]I do encourage users to search out the two previous SMM posts for an overview, and to sit down and read the article itself. (And, you know, give them the upvotes because they already posted on the topic!) While it is written by a legal professional, it is very well written and clearly assembled as a solid overview for non-legal professionals. So it does answer the questions, "Why hasn't Harry had his titles stripped?" for each of his titles.Also, what is "The Honourable Society of The Middle Temple" and why should we care about their opinion? While it sounds like it's from a Dan Brown novel, it is, in fact, a professional association for barristers in the UK. It is one of four "Inns of Court", and you can read a nice overview from Wikipedia here about what that means. Basically these people are serious practitioners and scholars of law, so the article is a thoughtful overview that covers what is legally permitted...but also the realities of Harry's litigious tendencies and the way this ties up with Andrew and his titles as well.https://ift.tt/ZwsH8nz post link: https://ift.tt/lpSouzK author: Chasmosaur submitted: May 11, 2024 at 06:31PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

Quick drawing of Torosaurus inspired by the nonbinary flag for Pride Month

[cu-riogach]

Ornithischian Illustrations #1

Triceratops horridus

The drab palette of the body was inspired by mammalian megafauna, primarily rhinocerotes. The blue colouration was inspired by the colourfulness of birds, but there was no specfic reference in-mind. This was meant to be an older bull; I imagine females would have less colourful frills, as bright ornaments are usually secondary sex characteristics.

Camptosaurus dispar

Colouration innspired by the Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros). Depicted individual is female.

Scolosaurus cutleri

Colour pattern was not referenced from any specific aninimal. This individual was inteded to be a female, I imagine males would be more brightly-coloured.

Heterodontosaurus tucki

Colouration inspired by meerkats (Suricata suricatta) and various ratites—the tuft of fuzz on the head was copied directly from emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae). Pictured individual is male.

You'd think they wouldn't put an Early Permian synapsid in the same picture as a Late Jurassic dinosaur. You'd think wrong. A Google image search confirmed this was originally an (allegedly) serious illustration for a book called Prehistoric Animals and Fossils, which was featured in Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs. The book also includes the most adorkable out-of-shape goofasaurus trying to catch the Jurassic bus. Go check it out, will ya?

rewatching the Dinotopia 13-episode miniseries and just wanted to say I concur with a lot of your takes. Hopefully it's ok to infodump about it in your askbox?

26 is adorable and heart-stealing (as is Karl's love for her) and she still looks so lifelike even after 20 years since the show's airing--the combination of lower-tech puppetry and higher-tech animatronics just hits perfectly. I just want to hold her and carry her around and tickle her little head. I feel weird calling her 'lifelike' considering none of us have seen Chasmosaurs(sp?) in the flesh, but the way she blinks and shakes her head and squeals just feels authentic somehow?

'Contact' is one of my favourite episodes as well, as it legitimises this version of Karl who in earlier episodes risked coming across as trivial/annoying/shallow (I love this Karl fwiw, more than the previous 'better' series' take). The connection between Karl & Gracie is so touching and raw, and it seems like the most important thing that happened to Karl at that stage in his life, as well as a turning point in the way he relates to female peers. While I am a fan of Karl's himbo side, I appreciated seeing him finally show expertise and determination in something other than mixing drinks and flirting and wheeler-dealing, as well--after all, he's Frank's favourite son and an adventurer in his own right, why shouldn't he be capable? (we also saw his resourcefulness in 'Lose & Found').

As for Lesage, your thoughts about her past relationship with Rosemary really have me thinking as well. The reference to their fling was so fleeting that I missed it first time around, but it's definitely critical to understanding both their characters imo. Lesage definitely seems the free-spirited fiery rebellious type to run off with a woman to have sapphic adventures in the wild, even if it took said sapphic partner to bring that out of her (and it's SO interesting that Rosemary was *Lesage's* closet key). What would Dinotopia make of lesbians disrupting their natural order and their status quo? (upon which they rely for their coveted peace...) The mind reels. And I agree about the relief and pleasant surprise that this mature dark woman wasn't 'tamed' or domesticated in the storyline's conclusion, it would have been so banal if the series went that route. She clearly isn't the type who wants a traditional family, a secure home or a regular Joe older man with kids.

That said, I must confess to wanting Lesage coupled with David, as I've noticed that from their very first meeting there is deliberate tension and foreshadowing included to put them in a shippy light, and their personalities/chemistry really spark and pop off the screen more than any other pairing (probably why the actors/character got a 2-hander episode to themselves?). Also, in-keeping with 'Lesage does what she wants and breaks the mold', I think Lesage would LIVE for scandalising Dinotopia by taking their Skybax Squadron Commander/favourite Offworlder and seducing him. David for his part would go willingly I think, as he seems captivated and chagrined by Lesage, more than he is by Marion (who imo he *wants* to want and thinks he should want romantically/sexually, but deep down doesn't). David for his part clearly needs a challenge and a foil to get the most out of his life, and Lesage offers that in spades. Where are the fics is what I wanna know

Am still combing over a few of the episodes in more detail, but overall I enjoy it so much despite all the inaccuracies and how off-model and off-book it is, and for the time you can see how it broke some new ground. It's pacey, it's a good time, it's got a little bit of everything from drama to adventure to fantasy to anarchohistory/steampunk. The story and characters remind me of Xena in the way you can read them in a campy/fun way or a serious way, and it works either way. Idk why it isn't on streaming and remastered, though the selfish gatekeeping part of me is kind of glad it's not exposed like that..

Always ok!

I do wish we got more of 26 in The Cure Part 2 that wasn't plot-mandated immobility, because that small bit at the end of Part 1 where she's doing her little scamper around on modern sidewalks is such a cute and defining moment for the series and I would've loved to see her run around through crowds or make an escape through the museum. I'd say even her CGI is some of the best-looking now, probably because of working with an easier scale (although I feel like dated CGI is always going to look like dated CGI, and so try to judge it more on whether or not it emotionally connects, and 26 definitely does).

They say it like "Chasmiosaur" in the show but the dinosaur is spelled Chasmosaur/Chasmosaurus. It's real interesting that both the live-action and book versions of Dinotopia used lesser-known ceratopsians instead of the obvious triceratops.

Agreed on Karl, sketchy/sleazy relationship drama is SO not my thing and I'd say I was only tolerating it for the dinosaurs, but the way this show does it is just so over-the-top that I can't help but be at least a little entertained. Night of the Wartosa is fun to watch in an uncomfortable train wreck sense, because we see Karl at his worst and it's so agonizing, but at the end of the day it's self-aware, it's intended as a wake-up call, and we're meant to be rooting for him to become a better person and laughing at him along the way. And by Contact, we're shown he can be serious when it counts, and his story takes a deeper turn into the heartfelt that solidifies his arc.

Since it's Hallmark, I'm sure they'd find a way to make even the dinosaurs scandalized by anything non-straight. "Why yes, our ancient society founded primarily by non-humans, with its own code of conduct distinct from other world philosophies, has the same puritan sensibilities as early 2000s daytime television." I guess there's a small chance the show actually did mean they only considered themselves sisters, and that very obvious pause didn't mean anything at all, I guess we'll never know *shrug* (but since it was a show cancelled after one season, I'm gonna say that from the 2020s we can go ahead and retroactively assume it must've had lesbians).

Freely admit that if I didn't pick up on anything hinting LeSage/David, it's probably because I only really have shipping goggles for f/f relationships, and also carry around the associated 'just friends' goggles for what are often clearly intended het pairings. To each their own, I suppose, and to both of us, the tragedy of liking a piece of media that very few people have ever seen, and even fewer have seen in any way that made them think of it positively. Highly doubt the internet 20 years after the fact would have much appreciation for my 'LeSage x pachycephalosaurus chariot driver OC' daydream musings but you can bet that's probably what I'm thinking about every time I hear "Fast Car."

Oh, if this show was on streaming, people would expect WAY too much from it. It's in the backwoods of Youtube and on cheap DVDs, and I feel like that's it's natural habitat. I can only really imagine people truly liking this if it's a formative memory, they found it in some obscure corner on a rainy day and gave it a chance only half-seriously, or the rare case where they wanted to watch a dinosaur show enough to turn it on but were secretly looking for... this. It's such a fun time, but I feel like for most, you'd need to know what you're in for or it just won't click.

Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too. 

Find the episode webpage at: Episode 67 - The Encased Mosquito.

In this episode (stream is here!), my terrific guest Dr. Mark A. Loewen joins the show to chat with me about:

the formation of the Rocky Mountains, Laramidia and its connection to Pangea, how Tyrannosaurs and Triceratops benefited from the climatic and geographic changes of the Late Cretaceous, and the new paper on Lokiceratops rangiformis; its discovery, its purchase and new home in Denmark at the Museum of Evolution in Denmark, hyperdiversity of macroherbivorous dinosaurs endemic to particular areas in Larimidia, finding artists to portray the animal, naming new dinosaurs, declaring a new clade albertaceratopsini, naming conventions, centrosaurs in Jurassic Park like styracosaurus, nasutoceratops and sinoceratops, the differences between chasmosaurs and centrosaurs, thinking of dinosaurs like centorsaurines as if they were birds, and how the large cavities in ceratopsian skulls may have impacted their lives, centrosaurine chewing, reverse engineering a chicken, and much more!

Plus dinosaur news about:

Diuqin lechiguanae gen. et sp. nov., a new unenlagiine (Theropoda: Paraves) from the Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Neuquén Group, Upper Cretaceous) of Neuquén Province, Patagonia, Argentina. (Diuqin lechiguanae)

Lokiceratops rangiformis gen. et sp. nov. (Ceratopsidae: Centrosaurinae) from the Campanian Judith River Formation of Montana reveals rapid regional radiations and extreme endemism within centrosaurine dinosaurs. (Lokiceratops rangiformis)

been thinking of revitalizing my fruitless search for my greatest online internet inspiration, Chasmosaur- also known as Sacromancer or Shoes or Doctor Birdbrain or whatever other names i found ages ago. i wonder what happened to them..theyre around my fathers age now i reckon, so its weird im so deep into this rabbithole, i hardly doubt theyre around the online spheres anymore..shame

Dezembrada - criado originalmente em 19-09-2023

Estou confiando na recordação de que este foi o segundo a ser produzido imediatamente após o primeiro, no mesmo dia que descobrir o acervo nacional de jornais antigos do qual o nome desapareceu nesta mesma recordação, porém o nome de um deles não, se chamava O Dezenove de Dezembro algo me diz que o dono era carioca e teve curta duração, no período regencial se meu conhecimento sobre o Brasil Império permaneceu válido. Recomendo não me levar como uma fonte de informação confiável.

Sobre a imagem existe um site chamado Love in Time of Chasmosaurs ( Amor no Tempo para Chasmosauro como costumo chamar ) que avalia artes datadas da fauna há muito extinta, especializados em dinossauros do qual gosto, não de maneira exagerada além de ´´eu acho legal´´ e certamente apoio o ideal de manter tais pinturas, desenhos e fotografias preservadas ao grande público. Apesar de descordar em desconsiderar outros aspectos artísticos em prol de comparar a anatomia do bicho e qual artista copiou quem, é um ótimo site.

O link direciona para lá e recomendo usar o google tradutor pois meu camarada a equipe é europeia e ao menos um deles é inglês e o outro holandês

Agora diretamente para a fonte da imagem

E para finalizar nada disso tem alguma relação com Dino Synth, eu nunca pensei no gênero musical enquanto criava as capas e só reparei nisso agora.

In the late 1990s a partial skeleton of a ceratopsian was discovered in New Mexico, USA. These remains were initially thought to belong to Torosaurus, but after more of the specimen was recovered in the mid-2010s it became clear the bones actually represented an entirely new species of horned dinosaur – officially named in 2022 as Sierraceratops turneri.

Sierraceratops lived during the Late Cretaceous, around 72 million years ago, in what at the time was the southern region of the island continent of Laramidia. About 4.6m long (~15'), it had fairly short chunky brow horns, long pointed cheek horns, and a relatively large frill.

It was part of a unique lineage of ceratopsians that were endemic to southern Laramidia, with its closest known relatives being Bravoceratops from western Texas and Coahuilaceratops from northern Mexico.

I want to share one of my favorite awkward Megalosaurus reconstructions that I've nicknamed Daddy Longlegs. This Neave Parker-inspired (to put it kindly) illustration was drawn by Barry Driscoll, and unless I'm mistaken this scan is originally from Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs, the premier blog for old-timey dinosaur books.
