If people want to support my creative endeavours, including my upcoming mostly-written youtube projects and my artwork, you can do so on my new ko-fi page:
Can we please stop calling birds "dinosaur descendants"? As far as taxonomy goes, they're literally dinosaurs! That's like calling dogs "mammal descendants" or craneflies "insect descendants".
@KatyMontgomerie
What?!?!?! Surely it's entirely possible for trans and cis men to have children together... and like, does this person think women just... divide like starfish? Reproduce by parthenogenesis? All recieve immaculate conception? I... I don't get it!
Oh boy, the Hbomberguy video exposing James Somerton's absurd level of plagiarism (alongside apparently scamming people into giving him $65k for a fake movie studo) has already caused 6,000 people to unsubscribe in the past few hours alone:
Ah yes, encouraging cats to play with something that moves like a snake and is coloured like a highly venomous coral snake. How can this possibly go wrong???
@RiegerReport
I'm confused. Does the he think that studying hard makes children impervious to bullets? That's just insulting to the kids who were murdered in those tragedies.
Well, we have confirmation that the ice worlds 'dromaeosaurs' were in fact Dromaeosaurus. After this and WWD, I'll never understand why documentaries seem to enjoy just calling this genus a 'dromaeosaur', rather than just naming it???
Today I got the closest I've ever been to a takehe. This giant flightless rail was long thought extinct from ~1898 until it's rediscovery in 1948. They now only survive in offshore islands and bird sanctuaries like Zealandia, where I photographed this beauty.

Interesting behaviour though. Kinda wonder if the crow was pushing it off in the hope of killing it so that it could feed on the carrion... or if it was just trolling
So, they took a gull, turned it into a gannet, and then gave it the head feather tufts typical of a European shag for some reason. Like, what is happening with this film???
While walking to Pauatahanui the other day, I saw this black-backed gull (Larus dominicanus) apparently drowning a black rat (Rattus rattus) by repeatedly dunking its head into the sea and holding it there, before eating it.

Also a real shame that no-one saw her ex boyfriend's videos about the horrific abuse she put him through for years until all this came to light.
@Nux_Taku
The dude who did a whole video on video game girls boobs expects people to believe that he's never watched hyentyoi... On today's Twitter episode of the biggest failed flexes on YouTube!
@_Archesuchus_
I think/hope that they're playing and it's enjoying itself... but yeah, I really hope she has some kind of leg protectors under those trousers or that could inflict serious life-threatening damage.
Maybe it's jealousy talking but I hate the fact that channels like this get tens of thousands of views when I put months into my videos and get a few hundred. They don't even know the difference between archaeologists and palaeontologists despite making a video on palaeontology.
I don't like criticising other cultures, but this is one of the most horrific examples of animal cruelty I have ever seen, and the fact that it is legal is genuinely disgusting.
It’s also possible in China to get yin-yang fish: a fish whose body is deep fried while it’s head is protected. “Speed is the key — when you prepare the fish, you can’t hurt its internal organs, so when you serve it, it can stay alive for at least half an hour,”
@nyrorosaurus
Well, except the baby... I often wonder why humans and the foreshadowings of human society completely vanished after the first movie. Makes me wonder if humans went extinct between films in the Ice Age universe.
Look what I just bought at a local toy shop!!! (Already have one of these in the loft but I so rarely see WWD figures for sale and this wad only £2!!!!
The person who wrote this article deserves an award for worst lie on a figure caption of 2023, as well as worst figure of 2023 and most misleading palaeontology article of 2023.
@NetflixGeeked
You guys have seemingly gone out of your way to make Robin seem like the best pairing for her in the recent season... and there is no denying I totally support that ship more than Steve and Jonathan at this point

@EndWokeness
Considering that that is completely untrue, isn't the real question:
"isn't it weird that only hard-right conservatives pathologically lie on twitter?"
@Trey_Explainer
As a kid I spent the whole movie kinda wishing he'd get killed off somehow. His refusal to even listen to his son, let alone believe him was just flat-up despicable.
She's protesting against them because they're being built on indigenous lands against the wishes of those people who traditionally use them for reindeer herding. I genuinely don't see the problem.
@Nux_Taku
Have you seen Cinematic Venom is about to do a video exposing his own misdeeds in order to cancel himself. Like, that's taking cancel culture to an insane new level.
This plan is a large part of why I HATE the fact that so many of you who are American are refusing to vote blue in light of recent events. I completely understand and agree with your criticisms. But the alternative is horrifying.
@AGramuglia
Was actually really interested in Screentime from that proposed book! A meme-based hero given "internet powers" by experimental "internet gas". I tried to pre-order the book because of him! Was so sad it never got released!!!
@jessiegender
I'm sorry, but this is just gross. Issues though I've had with Keffals, his discussion of her was filled with misinformation and defended some extremely abusive people. Also, using racoon noises to describe Shark30zero who's already endured a blatantly racist harassment campaign
@keffals
Went from being a huge fan of Jessie to being blocked by her for calling her out on this in one day. I'm so sorry she's supporting people who've treated you so cruelly. It's horrific. Needless to say that I'll probably never watch one of her videos again.
A couple of days late for Shrove Tuesday, these Oligocene limestones on the coast of South Island, New Zealand north of Greymouth are known as 'Pancake Rocks'.
@keffals
Jessie: "there are things I want to have open convos about".
Girl, you literally blocked me for responding in good faith about the problems with Foreign Man in a Foreign Land's video.
PFFFFFFT.
Dude, it's not YouTube. As a former fan, I and many others I know stopped watching after it became apparent that you were a bigoted far-right fascist. You literally threw away a huge part of your fanbase by being an awful person.
@NatSciChannel
Gosh I hate these kinds of comments! Like, these people just seem to think they know waaaaay more than they know!
I do have a 2002 book which lists Acrocanthosaurus as a species of spinosaur lol, I guess that was this person's only source of info
TERRIBLE NEWS! It turns out that the upcoming Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway movie that multiple outlets claimed would be a dinosaur film... ISN'T! That was just a lie by entertainment news outlets.
Okay, Jack Horner is a way creepier and worse human being than I realised. Disturbing that there are so many predators in senior academic positions or who act as "science celebrities".
@EDGEinthewild
While I feel this is insignificant compared to everything else, he’s also touched MY ass at both a conference and a second time at a museum because he apparently thinks it’s fine to do meeting younger femme presenting folks as a greeting…
@TODAYshow
That's not even a Velociraptor, which are from Mongolia. Potentially a Deinonychus or maybe even an undescribed genus. It absolutely should not be for sale in an auction but should be in a museum for research. The fact that you aren't criticizing this and are lying about what
@AGramuglia
I don't know, I think long video essay reviews cane done very well, for example Jay Exci's excellent 5-hour long review of the Chibnall era of Doctor Who.
@RoyalTyrrell
By the way, Henderson's work suggesting that large azdarchids couldn't fly has been thoroughly debunked by other researchers (see this blog post and the papers it cites):
The fact that an evolutionary biologist doesn't know the difference between binary and bimodal and is just using his ineptitude to justify transphobia will never not be baffling to me.
Those who say sex is a spectrum don’t realise how rare intersex humans are. Frequency histogram runs out of graph paper, so represent frequency of unambiguous males & females by NY’s twin towers respectively. Then frequency of intersexes is a medium sized molehill. Sex is binary.
@LilySimpson1312
I actually once had a dream where I was Hogwarts's first Goblin student, but it was all a trick by wizards so that they could murder me and get away with it because no-one cared about goblins.
@notCursedE
It's really confusing to me as well because like, going on and on about how they were silenced and then demonising and dehumanising their targets and saying they want them to die is... like... exactly what TERFs are doing. Like JK, look in a mirror when you say this stuff.
