Neanderthal Art: Did They Outshine Us? 🎨

New pigment dating is shaking up everything we thought we knew about the origins of art. The latest twist? Evidence suggests Neanderthals—not just modern humans—were creating cave masterpieces over 60,000 years ago. Some fans are arguing this means Neanderthals had their own creative genius, while others say we’re reading too much into a few handprints. Is the old "humans are the only artists" narrative finally over? #Entertainment #Painting #AncientArt

Baltimore’s arts & food scene is on fire!

Cincinnati’s beloved DAAP statues hit the road

Ethan and Violet, the quirky statues that have watched over UC’s DAAP building for nearly 20 years, have left their iconic ledge for a new adventure downtown at the Contemporary Arts Center. Students returning from break were surprised to find the fifth floor a little emptier—and it turns out, the sculptures are now part of a special UC exhibition. Their creator, Alan Marrero, only found out after the fact! These statues have become a campus legend, even surviving a student-led “heist” years ago. What do you think—should campus art stay put, or is it cool to share it with the city? #Entertainment #Painting #Cincinnati

Did 1950s Parenting Go Too Far? 🤔

Some people say parenting in the 1950s was simpler, but looking at these vintage photos, I’m not so sure it was all good! Babies sleeping on their tummies with foam pillows full of holes? No car seats? And those wild baby races at amusement parks! There’s a real debate in the fandom about whether we’re too cautious now or if the 50s were just way too risky. Which side are you on? #Entertainment #Painting #VintagePhotos

Rare octopus sighting stuns Tenby locals

A walk on Tenby’s North Beach just turned into a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounter—a rare, color-changing octopus was spotted right on the sand! Locals are buzzing about this surprise visitor, especially since octopuses usually stay hidden underwater. Experts say warmer winters and springs have led to a boom in octopus numbers, making 2025 the so-called “Year of the Octopus.” While it’s amazing to see these clever creatures up close, there’s concern about their impact on local shellfish and the wider marine ecosystem. Have you ever seen anything like this on our beaches? What do you think about these changes in our coastal wildlife? #Entertainment #Painting #Tenby
