They've always been the odd men out in a way, but their sound is so complex and quixotic that the group has also found itself sharing stages with the disparate, experimental likes of KRS One, Tomahawk, The Melvins, TOOL, Grandmaster Flash, Jesu, Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, and Earth.

"When people come in here, you not only have this amazing mastodon couple, you have them with the whales and then you have this five-story atrium with all of the light," Museum project manager Lynne Friman said, referencing the prehistoric whales that are suspended above the mastodons.

One example: Cloudflare, which took longer to decide to jettison the white supremacist web site Daily Stormer than it deliberated over kicking off Switter, a social networking space created by sex workers and running on the open-source Mastodon platform, after fears arose that they'd be banned from Twitter.

Now I have a question for you, one involving another way in which men's and women's wear are in dialogue: Was the Rick Owens Mastodon show — which presaged in January many of the motifs he repeated in February for women — as memorable for you as it was for me?

On paper, at least, Rick Owens's show on Friday — held in the underbelly of the Palais de Tokyo here and titled "Mastodon" — had to do with eco-anxiety, woolly mammoths, an obscure 1960s Italian horror movie and the beekeeping that his wife, Michele Lamy, recently took up as a hobby.

It's possible that I care about audio quality more than the average person — I'm not happy when headphones obscure the little blips, whimpers and creeping plucks of Radiohead's "Paranoid Android," and I need cans that won't fuzz out the crunchy noise of "Mother Puncher" by Mastodon — but I'm not an obsessive.

For those who find comfort in wishful thinking and enough botulinum toxin to kill a mastodon, the idea that a 70-year-old is in her "prime" may seem like a consoling respite from the vicious cultural consensus that older women are repulsive, irrelevant and should be neither seen nor heard.

Some 14,500 years ago, ancient Floridians were carrying sharpened tools, chopping up mastodon tusks (and probably eating their gooey ends), and might even have kept pet dogs, according to new evidence unearthed at an underwater archaeological dig—unique in North America—that has changed our understanding of how the continent was settled.

We're taking that to mean some kind of configurable computer that'll let users swap in new graphics cards, and maybe — just maybe — finally support resource-intensive things like VR. Next, Business Reporter Kerry Flynn joins to tell us about Mastodon (16:50), the new decentralized Twitter knock-off that's taking the world by storm.

Gab—which has been tied to the suspect responsible for the Pittsburgh synagogue terror attack that killed 11 worshippers—announced on July 4 that it had switched its backend to run on Mastodon's software, instantly making it the largest Mastodon user, with more than double the number of users as the next largest federation.

While tech reporter Jack Morse thinks Mastodon is a straight-up beast with the potential to take down Twitter, Mashable's Lance Ulanoff and his pal William Shatner weren't very wow-ed by Mastodon's attempts to become a prominent platform, and it's clear social media users who highly favor Twitter's verification process will likely agree with them.

In addition to this he's a great fan of that part in The Flintstones where Fred surfs down the spine of the dinosaur to call it a day at the quarry, and envisions a dunk where he slides from the trunk of the mastodon statue screaming in alarm at the edge of the tar pits to the back of its dying partner.

The stone tools found are similar to those used over 1m years ago in Africa, by Homo erectus, an ancestor of Homo sapiens, and dissimilar to the precisely crafted tools of the Clovis culture typical of other early-human discoveries in North America, a fact which has long been a source of speculation about the true nature of the Cerutti mastodon site.

Grammy-nominated "Sultan's Curse" and "Steambreather" highlight the more accessible front half of Emperor of Sand while the back half of the record is packed with nostalgic tracks aimed to please even the most stubborn of old school fans (see "Andromeda," for example.) While their newest efforts sound markedly different than the first few records, Mastodon has transitioned wonderfully from underground talents to mainstream titans.

We checked, and from our location in the EU, Google Photos is the only direct destination offered via Facebook's drop-down menu thus far: However the spokesman implied wider utility could be coming — saying the DTP project updated adapters for photos APIs from SmugMug (which owns Flickr); and added new integrations for music streaming service Deezer; decentralized social network Mastodon; and Tim Berners-Lee's decentralization project Solid.
