Oh this might be my fault. I came across a sad and abandoned orca years ago and introduced them to the Clash.

    Anyone else watch the medieval history YouTube channel about kids today existed throughout similar historical eras and nothing is new? It's always this

    Headline isn't what the article says.

    “We disrupted the tradition of the teenager taking care of the young ones,” Martin Boye of the Loro Parque Fundación says.

    “They should have been under the watch of their teenage relatives, but there were no teenagers left,” Boye said. “So these calves started doing stupid things, they were not afraid of anything.

    “And then they grew up and became adults and when they play now, it’s a little bit more robust.”

    So they're adults who grew up without the traditional supervision of the teenagers. Journalism has gotten so bad.

    Basically the raptors in Jurassic Park (the book)

    Is the book worth reading if you watched the movie? Like is it drastically different enough to give a very different story?

    Oh yes! A lot of the story beats are the same or similar, but different characters die and different survive so it's still very suspenseful even if you've seen the movie a dozen times. Speaking from experience.

    The second book then goes off in a completely different direction that the movie (or rather the other way around), so that one is a great read too.

    So they're basically ocean punks? Hell yeah, we need to give a couple of them guitars and teach them to play three chords with their fins. The world needs an orca punk band right now.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberian_orca_attacks

    Monohulled sailing vessels are the most frequent targets of the orcas, with yachts, catamarans, and vessels with spade rudders being the types most often attacked and damaged.

    CIRCE Conservación Information and Research coordinator Renaud de Stephanis suggested that the orcas break the rudder out of frustration, preferring the sensation of the propeller when a sailboat is running its engine.[27]

    Not very climate-friendly, these orcas.
