So much for misanthropy
The Discovery Channel has a beautiful new ad out. Given the crap that’s happening in the world - and is likely to keep happening - it’s actually quite refreshing to take a moment to look at this little planet of ours in a positive light.
Is it just me though or is that an orca and not a great white? Anyway - I love the arachnid guy. And Stephen Hawking joining in is just cool.

sometimes I think the constant negative reporting of everything bad that happens in the world is further inducing a cycle of negativity. Not that anyone should stop reporting on terrible things, just that we see so little of what is good about the world. And maybe if we saw more of it we’d be better human beings… and therefore not so horrible to others… or maybe not. Anyway this is why I liked the post. I think that was a humpback whale rather than a killer whale (which I think is what we call Orca, although I could be totally wrong), but it isn’t a shark anyway.
