Love that whales are just the result of tetrapods realizing, "Fuck, this land shit sucks," and then yeeting back into the ocean.


I mean ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasaurs and probably some other tetrapod groups beat them at it.

Google says that the cutest whales are beluga whales.

In case anyone’s kinda interested in baseball, Carlos Rodón of the White Sox just pitched a no-hitter.
There was a very unceremonious end to the perfect game in the 9th, with the slightest HBP, but it was exciting nonetheless.

I like baseball.
