Same goes for all animals. Fuck zoos.
You have no idea how much zoos have changed, do you?
Just how many species couldve gone extinct without people working day and night to provide them with treatment, rebuild the species and help prepare them for returning to the wild.
I’m less interested in the abstract idea of a species and more interested in the individual. None of what you said justifies keeping them captive.
Ultimately it doesn’t even address the core reason why species become extinct, and really just serves as PR for these entertainment venues.
Maybe excepting the domesticated ones, we more or less stripped their ability to survive on their own
Get Neil off there. Pompous dickhead.
Doesn’t change the fact that he’s an excellent communicator and educator.
In the case of Neil deGrasse I think he just wants to feel smarter than the rest of the world
I get why people feel this way about him but I honestly relate to him in a way.
I don’t see it as him trying to feel smarter but more being passionate about teaching people things to the point he forgets he’s already told people things. It’s like a little kid being super excited about learning something that they tell everyone they know about it ad nauseum.
I’m very much the same and it’s mainly because I’ve forgotten that I’ve already told people about whatever it is but I’m so excited to tell people every time it’s brought up

I’d like to take home Bob’s afro and keep it as a pet.
It’s meant to be free.
I’ve heard they can reach crazy sizes in the wild
Me to all them mfrs that keep foxes, snakes, and otherwise wild animals as “pets”:
That’s what I say about all the pretty people I see while grocery shopping
The perfect mixture of wholesome and concerning.
It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it’s told.
Bob Ross is synonymous with Wholesome. He was an amazing man, and an inspiration to a whole generation of kids who liked art. And even though I sucked at it myself, I thoroughly enjoyed watching him make amazing paintings.
It blew my mind when I found out he did these episodes back to back in an afternoon. The man oozed talent (and as the kids these days would say: he had aura).
You can visit the room where he recorded in Muncie, Indiana, on the Ball Brothers estate.
Finally, a reason to visit Indiana!
Seriously, though, thank you. I would sincerely consider a trip just to paint in that studio.
I happened to be in Muncie for a wedding and stumbled upon it. Definitely not what I expected to find there
Bob was a good man
