"Here are your tortured poets. All from Mahmoud Darwish to Dr. Refat Alareer to Khaled Juma, these are tortured poets. Tortured by longing for a home they can never return to, tortured by the world they were born to for BEING BORN. Palestine, home to the tortured poets department." [@/folkoftheshelf on X.

If humans ever go extinct,
I hope some distant future species
makes pop-up books with us roaring
next to palm trees and volcanos.

Tapinocaninus
Tapinocaninus was a genus of tapinocephalid therapsid from the Middle Permian. Its type and only species is T. pamelae. Its known specimens were found in the Karoo Supergroup in South Africa. Tapinocaninus is the largest known therapsid from the Guadalupian Period.
The generic name Tapinocaninus means humble (tapino) canine (caninus). The specific name pamelae was named for Pam Rubridge, the mother of the original describer, Bruce S. Rubridge. She was on the field when he discovered the first fossils.
Most known Tapinocaninus fossils consist of skulls, though its spine of 36 vertebrae, several ribs, pectoral and pelvic girdles, three humeri, and a femur have been discovered. Its autapomorphies include a relatively large temporal opening, only having two sacral vertebrae, only seven caudal vertebrae, a notably high amount of vertebral intercentra, an anterior coracoid included in the glenoid, which is straight and facing posteroventrally, and the lack of ectepicondylar foramen.
Tapinocaninus has been recovered as the most basal member of Tapinocephalidae, as it has both derived dinocephalian features and ancestral features of sphenacodonts. Tapinocephalidae itself is the most derived family of Dinocephalia.

How about an analysis of Dunmeshi's latest episode?
What I find really interesting, and episode 17 made me realize it, is the extent to which Laios and Shuro are the opposite of what they portray, even worse: the image they might portray is actually that of the other.
Let me explain :
How does Shuro see Laios ? As someone stubborn and thoughtless, disconnected from reality to the point of using black magic to resurrect his little sister.
We know that Shuro would have made the same choice, which shows that even if he tries to deny it, there is a point of connection between them.
The key to these similarities and differences is Falin.
What Shuro loves about Falin is the tenderness in her every gesture, her compassion and understanding of every creature, and her smile.
When he sees this monster kill in cold blood, he realizes the extent to which he has lost his loved one, which is why he chooses to kill her to free his soul, thinking he has lost her.
But what Shuro doesn't realize is that he's exactly what he's blaming Laios for: he's stubborn and reckless, not realizing the danger and sacrifices his teammates are making for the sake of this mission.
He's also disconnected from reality, not caring about himself, his hunger or his fatigue.
Above all, and this is very interesting, Laios had said that he hadn't perceived that Shuro couldn't stand him because he was so happy to have him as a friend, that he hadn't detected any of these signals.
Shuro shares this blindness
Shuro repeats that this monster is not Falin, yet he sees her as such, to the point of embarrassment when the monster removes her blouse.
And that's the opposite of Laios, who sees his sister as the monster she is
Like the chimera Falin has become, he sees his little sister calling him and this super-cool monster.
He's the one with his feet firmly on the ground, he's the one who really cares about his team, taking care of himself and those around him through balanced meals.
The one who understands that Falin has many vital points, rather than allowing himself to be overwhelmed by despair, is Laios.
So when Shuro hits Laios, in reality he's not hitting a man who differs from him, he's hitting his own flaws, and his own failure in the situation.
This failure he projects onto Laios, a man brimming with flaws.
Not only does Laios reason with him, but if Shuro ends up taking the wiser path, it's also because he's literally fought against himself.
But it all goes even further!
Shuro realized his feelings, or rather how unique Falin was in her tenderness and altruism, towards every being, even the smallest.
But what set this whole cycle in motion was Falin's self-sacrifice, her own death.
Laios and Marcille are responsible for what follows, but they are not responsible for everything, as Shuro tries to believe.
Shuro refuses the truth
So he doesn't see Falin
He couldn't accept that her tenderness had led to his death
Nor that her tenderness gave way to extreme coldness and indifference
He won't accept his own blindness
So he hits Laios and his extreme sincerity that irritates him so much
Shuro can't see anything in the darkness of this dungeon, he's the one who's lost his footing so he has to get back up again
Laios has accepted to see everything, even the unavowable, the forbidden, the pain.
What Shuro sees in Falin is love
In Laios, what he sees is the truth
In reality, Laios has only told part of the truth; he is the other half.
But if he goes back up, it's not to abandon Falin, Shuro has to face reality, the truth, that Laios was the only one who could save his beloved.
It was by fighting that he finally put his trust in Laios.
And finally became a friend
