Nice to hear that @mwitte7612 has confirmed the original phylogenetic underpinnings of punctuated equilibria! ~50 years ago today, the song we began to play....@Trilolight @deeptime @jdegregori1 #trilobites . Below, Eldredgeops rana s.s., Moscow Fm., central NYS.
After 8 years of trying to understand the taxonomy of Edredgeops/Phacops rana, it was so cathartic to write this paragraph. @niles_eldredge, I’ve got excellent news! There’s strong phylogenetic support to confirm Eldredgeops as a genus!

@3rdstreetjazz If the above is true, an interesting example of the technosphere influencing the evolution of an art form.

While not on a par with the current coup, or, worse, the 6th extinction now gathering momentum, I was horrified to find something called ‘co-pilot’ on Word today. When our tools are offering to save us from having to think for ourselves the human experiment in cognition is doomed

Thank you @traecrowder —“Finger-waving through the end-times” is a spot-on description of the Democratic version of the “loyal opposition,” and ‘bout says it all…..Not with a bang but a whimper.

@ignashkinjazz One Sunday in early 1962, I saw Stan Getz at the Matinee at the Village Vanguard. A few hours later, I caught Coltrane at the Village Gate. A phenomenal Day. Seeing them together in this clip is in itself a mind-blowing event all these years later.

@AndrejSpiridon4 Indeed, in the beginning is where most of the action happens most of the time. But, evidently, not 100% of the time!
