The moral lesson of this picture here is how the parents take no responsibility in either of them.

It's pathetically sad how christians have to desperately alter history to suit their personal opinions on religious fairytales. Take this, for example: It did not “explode” around the Roman Empire. Less than 2 - 5% of the Roman Empire converted to christianity in the

The core message of Christianity! Love me, praise me, and worship me. Or suffer for all eternity. Crazy ass people.

Just to be clear, this does not lessen the vital importance of forests. Trees lock away carbon, support immense biodiversity (that we are continuously destroying), regulate local climates, and provide countless other benefits. But when it comes to producing the oxygen we breathe, the

Possibly the most relatable scene in Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age. I can't help but imagine this being narrated with Kevin Hart's voice, “I'm a grown little man, watch these moves now baby, you can't handle this!" 🤓 🦕🦖

To know that these scenes were happening just as Augustus of Prima Porta became the first Roman emperor. Or when China was in the late Eastern Han dynasty. Not in the last ice age, not so long ago at all... 😔

I can't get over how fantastic these giant moas look and how sad it is to think that they're just one of the few animals portrayed in this show who just existed in their habitat 600 - 500 years ago. 😍😢 🦤

For those who impose and continuously say that their fantasy book is 100% true. MAGA volunteers would be greatly appreciated. 🤣

This is why I love paleontology. For over 20 years, I and most of my colleagues were skeptical about the validity of the genus Nanotyrannus. Now, say hello to Nanotyrannus lethaeus. The image below features a pack of these N. lethaeus attacking a juvenile T. rex. Art by Anthony Hutchings.
