Five years ago. Let us never forget this happened. A violent insurrection by liars and losers to overturn a free election.
These same vandals have seized power again, remarkably through democratic means. But they won't be around forever—unless we let them.

Let’s make 2026 the year of the bog. The world’s most unique and interesting plants, clean water, cooler climate. Bogs deserve our thanks, care, and deep respect. Please join me and love a bog today.

Overall satisfied with what you put in... but I do question why he put two docs I don't think anyone even watched (former due to airing in Japan, latter on a streaming service most don't even subscribe to).
Personally would have used PBS' Dino Birds and BBC's Human, which more people saw and thus

MTV Is Still Alive. So Why Does Everyone Think It Shut Down Last Week?
Our ability to tell fact from fiction—even when the facts are right in front of you—is nearly gone. This is not going to end well.

The Upper Elliot Formation from the early Jurassic of South Africa is an important piece for our understanding of sauropod evolution but beyond that it's just a really cool assemblage...

HEY! Heard of 'Why Dinosaurs?' It's a great doc. made by a father & son, exploring paleontology and its influence on popular culture. They interview paleontologists, museum workers, film workers, and others with a deep love for dinosaurs. And now it's FREE to watch!

Sad news: As of this year, Finland allows the killing of about a fifth of our grey wolf population annually, regardless of whether the particular wolves cause any harm. This on top of harm-based permits and poaching puts our endangered wolf population at risk.

This would be a great assignment for historical geology quiz! Another point I add when covering horse evolution is this all happened mainly in North America. But there horses were extirpated at the end of the last ice age until reintroduced by Europeans. Seems ironic.
