With deinonychus trending, seems like a good time to share this story I did for @inversedotcom about how Steven Spielberg ALMOST was the namesake for Utahraptor. A rare story where I was allowed to show my dinosaur nerd side .

Now that @SouthPark episodes & specials are on the same streamer, can @paramountplus please include the specials in the episode lineup so that we don’t have to search around for them or remember what order they go in?.

@TheShieldFX @FXNetworks @ShawnRyanTV This conversation feels a little incomplete without some love for @CCHPounder and @JayKarnes (Dutch is my favorite character). Their partnership was one of the greatest parts of the show. Heartfelt and often funny (Claudette firing Dutch was HILARIOUS). Great characters.
