Someone made Felonies Georg into a graphic. Bless.

Donald Trump has single-handedly raised the average number of felony charges faced by all U.S. presidents from 0 to 2, thus Making America Great Again.

(There have been 45 U.S. presidents, but Joe Biden is number 46 because Grover Cleveland counts twice).

this would be *significantly* funnier if it was a living bird, which is a dinosaur that survived

just saying

[a-lost-daemon]

a feral chicken

the closest thing to an irl velociraptor

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

as much as I appreciate feral chickens, you're forgetting seriemas, which literally have sickle claws like velociraptor and the same ecological niche as velociraptors. and also are of comparable size

we musn't forget the tiny terror birds

[beakedwhalesyo]

Other good dinosaur like birds would be cassowaries and secretary birds, both of which also hunt with raptor like claws.

[uncle-mojave]

Turkeys too

[novas-grimoire]

Any raptor is a living dinosaur

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

Literally all birds are living dinosaurs by definition. Raptors, too (they’re all in Maniraptora and Pennaraptora).

But Seriemas, Secretary Birds, Roadrunners, and a handful of others are not only that, but in the same niche as Velociraptor

Cassowaries are herbivores. They do not hunt and do not have the same niche. Same for turkeys. So.

[the-pithy-aaaaah]

I had no idea roadrunners are in the same niche as Velociraptor

Yup! Small, bipedal, agile predator of smaller animals in an arid to semiarid environment! Roadrunners are a bit smaller than Velociraptor was, so roadrunners eat more inverts than Velociraptor probably did. Seriemas and Secretary Birds are, however, nearly identical in terms of niche to velociraptor of old, being of similar size.

You are granted a time machine and the ability to prevent one birth (or commit a murder up to you), don't worry about the butterfly effect, we want the butterfly effect that's part of the point. Your actions will prevent them from ever rising to prominence. No he's not here, because it'd be too much of a sweep, pick your second choice if you're wondering where he is

[trilobiter]

Vote Franz Ferdinand to share in the guilt for starting World War I.

“if he be mr. hyde, i shall be mr. seek” is such a funny line i can’t believe robert louis stevenson actually wrote that in the actual original dr. jekyll and mr. hyde in the actual year of 1885

me: there is no way this is true *pirates a pdf real quick to check it out* WHAT?!

The westward travels of a name

[datasoong47]

This map is a bit misleading. Legend had it that the founder of Carthage came from Tyre, but the name itself has no connection. The rest of it is accurate, though. The name Cartagena is descended from Latin Carthago Nova “New Carthage”, and then, of course, the city in Colombia is named after the Spanish city

Cartagena is etymologically funny though because the name Carthage is itself from Phoenician for New City, so it’s etymologically New New City. It’s too bad that they didn’t name the Colombian city New Cartagena to continue to redundant redundancies

I love Sisko dude is just trying to do his job, which is the space equivalent of making an air BnB from a diy-flipper house where everything is just constantly breaking. And then the neighbors insist he’s like one of their more important gods, but every time he denies it he actively partakes in major religious history. Also, his son only wears knit unitards and is bffs with the nephew of the neighborhood crime lord (not to be confused with the neighborhood spy).
