Are there any major changes?
To probably the surprise of nobody, EDGE was caught plagiarising again, this time from Nick Longrich: youtu.be/2kntynNXZv4?...
What is there even left to say at this point?Nick Longrich's article: https://www.nicklongrich.com/blog/a-new-species-of-tyrannosaurus-from-the-late-cretaceo...
Still pissed at what happened to @manospondylus.bsky.social@edgescience.bsky.social plagiarising his blog post. So I did a small study, the results of which are here -- screenshots from the comment I just left on Sivgin's original video-exposé. What an utter douche that guy is.

Hey, Timur -- I still feel really bad about this happening to you... As I said in some comment over on EDGE's community page, I am pretty sure he's done this many times before -- it's just that many serious/professional people don't watch his videos & thus unable to recognise their own work. Anyway - so, as a good scientist, I did a small study: When I got home from work today, I haphazardly picked a recent EDGE video, specifically this one:
The Giant Southern Tyrannosaurus Species No One Knew About
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nab00u1fIoY
I forwarded/started watching the video at a spot roughly in the middle, and transcribed a few sentences. (despite great closed captions, EDGE does not allow download of transcripts of his videos -- I wonder why?

Busy with the final sprint towards opening our new museum, thus not posting much - but this really made my blood boil: A blog post by my dear friend and colleague, Timur Sivgin, was almost 1:1 plagiarised by E.D.G.E., who turned it into a video on his YT channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=volQ...
A recent (now taken down) upload by the paleontology channel E.D.G.E. used the extensive writings and research on my own blog as a basis, without (either int...
Eurhinocaulus, a purely speculative relative or descendant of lepospondyls such as Diplocaulus, with a snout like a sawfish.
Godzilla‘s original name is Gojira, which is a portmanteau of the Japanese words for gorilla and whale. Now what happens if you take the gorilla out of the equation? Kujira. And he is (rightfully) pissed.
