Kim Kardashian's daughter, named 'North West,' is 13.
When your mom is a pornstar
And your father is Kanye
And your grandfather is a transvestite
And your grandmother pimps out her daughters to the highest bidder
This is exactly what you turn into.
In 1919, archaeologists in Iraq unearthed a 7,000-year-old statue. It depicts a mother nursing her infant—except both share the slitted, elongated faces of lizards.
Dating back to the Ubaid period a culture that predates the Sumerians—this piece is part of a larger collection of terracotta figurines featuring unmistakably reptilian traits. The statues boast elongated, tapered snouts, wide slitted eyes, and dome-like skulls made of bitumen.
The act of breastfeeding is intimately human, but the fact that the reptilian features are passed down to the infant is what makes the artifact very unusual.
It suggests the statuettes do not depict humans wearing ceremonial masks, but rather biological beings possessing these physical traits.
The purpose of these figures remains entirely unsolved. Because the Ubaid culture flourished over a millennium before the known invention of writing, there are no recovered texts, myths, or records to provide context.
They do not appear to be gods; later Mesopotamian deities were almost exclusively depicted as fully human, and these statuettes lack the traditional markers of divinity.
Without written context, the Ubaid lizard figures remain an anomaly. They survive as a silent puzzle that continues to baffle historians.
They told Édith Piaf she was finished. So she sang “I regret nothing.” and gave a performance that not only was iconic but would go on to live in history forever.
In December 1960 she was exhausted, gravely ill, and under doctors’ orders to stay off the stage.
The Olympia was facing bankruptcy. Most people thought her career was already over.
She walked out anyway.
A few weeks earlier Charles Dumont and Michel Vaucaire had brought her a new song: Non, je ne regrette rien.
She heard it once and claimed it as her own no sentiment, no softness, only a driving march and absolute moral force.
Her posture was famously minimal she stood standing motionless in her simple black dress, letting her hands and voice carry the entire drama. She did not perform the song. She inhabited it.
That night she saved a theatre and turned a personal reckoning with loss into one of the century’s great statements of endurance.
Frail in body, inexhaustible in spirit, she remains one of the most iconic singers the 20th century ever produced.
The Little Sparrow did not fly away.
She simply refused to land.
Dolly Parton carried the music, stories and spirit of her Tennessee mountain home wherever she went. She was a lifelong champion of the Great Smoky Mountains and proudly shared her love for them with the world.
While we may no longer see her working 9 to 5, we will always love her.
Here’s to Dolly, who made our world a little more beautiful.
WHAT IF GÖBEKLI TEPE WASN’T THE BEGINNING… BUT THE REBUILD?
I keep coming back to this because the timeline is strange as all hell. Hear me out..
Göbekli Tepe appears around 9600 BCE, almost immediately after the Younger Dryas ended which is a period of crazy violent climate change and rising seas.
And when it appears, people are already moving massive stone pillars, carving complex symbols and organizing huge construction projects. Hmmm?
That doesn’t look like humanity starting from zero.
To me it looks like survivors remembering something.
Imagine our civilization collapsed tomorrow. Ten years later, a small group arrived who still understood agriculture, astronomy, medicine and construction.
To us, they would just be educated survivors.
To children born after the collapse, they would look like gods.
Then thousands of years later, the oldest written flood stories appear in Sumer. They describe a world before the Flood, a destroyed civilization and strange sages called the Apkallu who preserved and taught knowledge.
Im not saying crazy shit like they had smartphones 12,000 years ago.
I’m saying an organized coastal civilization may have existed, been destroyed and left most of its evidence beneath rising sea levels.
I don't think Göbekli Tepe is where civilization began.
It could be the first thing built after the old world ended.
It could also be that the gods were simply the last people who remembered how everything worked.
Some scenery is so breathtaking that simply gazing at it from afar is enough. In an instant, you feel your heart grow still. Snow-capped mountains, ancient pagodas and cherry blossoms! The beauty of this moment is well worth capturing!🦋💕🍎 🦋
