I love dinosaurs as much as robots. It is very funny to me when ppl freak out about their childhood icons having feathers maybe.

But it is actually more boring if they are all just like Hollywood imagined.

I absolutely love this direct parallel. Thundercracker is always such an interesting character when he's portrayed like this - he's loyal to the Decepticon cause, but not interested in wanton destruction and death the way many other Decepticons are. He pities small weak things and finds no entertainment or honour in killing them unless he absolutely has to.

It's going to be fun seeing how his reluctance to kill for the crime of being small affects his relationships with some of the most brutal Decepticons we've seen.

so far edgeworth's day has been:

a dead body in his office

got kidnapped

lost $1m

told he reminds someone of manfred von karma

officer meekins

another dead body

called a pretty boy

kicked off the case he was investigating

had an interpol agent tell him that he is just gonna arrest random people until he gets the right one

but its wendy oldbag that really pushes it over the edge

this seems pretty important to these poll results and its something ive pointed out about pew polling in general. on their previous polls secular and cultural jews were underrepresented and interfaith jews were excluded completely, and this one one included those who identify as religiously jewish

Fun fact: the anti-Semitic stereotypes about Jews having lots of money/being greedy/cheap began in the Middle Ages thanks to Christian laws.

The Christian church began forbidding Christians from having professions that involved lending money, banking, or pawn work. It was because the church believed that money was ultimately unclean so although it was considered a necessity, Christians were instructed to deal with it as little as possible.

But someone still needed to run all of those money-based businesses. So these societies which were already run by Christian leadership basically made it a rule that these businesses had to be run by Jews since they were already “unclean”. Furthermore, due to other restrictions on Jewish people in these areas, these money-based positions were pretty much some of the only jobs Jews could legally hold.

This eventually led to numerous stereotypes involving Jews and money. And the acidity of these stereotypes grew when Christian people and leaders became resentful of the livelihood Jews were able to achieve for themselves with these jobs.

So to sum up: Christian society forces Jews to hold down money-centered jobs since, according to the church, Jews were already going to Hell. Then, once they made lives with these roles they were forced into, Jews were mocked and hated for being successful.

I think when Zionists accuse pro-Palestinians of holding Israel to an "unfair standard" or "unfairly targeting Israel", or "singling out Israel" or criticising anything Israel does "because they're Jews" or any other reason, I do think this is a consequence of the plausible deniability that they engage in by claiming that Israel engages in a gold standard level of warfare.

Aside from the usual rubbish of "the IDF is the most moral army in the world"... Over the last six months, I've heard nothing from Israel apologists except how "Israel has done everything to minimise civilian harm compared to Hamas which maximises civilian harm" (Not true) or how Israel has achieved the "lowest combatant to civilian ratio in the history of war" (also not true). Other times it simply defects blame onto Hamas by either claiming they use human shields or claiming there were combatants in civilian area. In the recent case of the killing of aid workers, they claimed it was an "accident" despite evidence showing otherwise, and the only reason they did so was because those aid workers were Westerners and to possibly not also alienate Israel's allies. Any other time it doesn't even pretend to cover up but simply justifies its actions, no matter how horrible, because of xyz. If all else fails, they'll just doubt the death toll count by claiming it's not trustworthy because it comes from the "Hamas-run" MoH or they'll say "it's war and civilians die in war." (Funny how there's been no Israeli civilian death since Oct 7).

You simply cannot claim to be unfairly targeted by critics and accuse them of antisemitism, then continue lying and engaging in denial. In the last six months, Israel has inflicted a level of damage onto Gaza and Palestinians that is reported to take decades to be able to recover from. Hundreds are still dying per day whether it's from Israeli bombs or Israeli-engineered famine. Israel cannot keep acting with impunity and killing as many Palestinians as it deems fit whether it be in Gaza or the West Bank.

Nothing pisses me off more than when Zionists have the gall to be like “Why don’t Palestinians get over 1948 and move on?” Like not only is that ignorant on a myriad of levels but saying that while Israel bombs Gaza to rubble whilst enforcing a siege on it and controlling the movement of aid is truly wild to me

The lack of awareness is astounding

Okay enough Shrek memes, I enjoyed Swamps!

First segment was kind of weak, mainly because it was just kind of discount Alcione flight from Coasts. Also, as some have said, the Shamosuchus CGI seemed a bit off, for me I think it was because the live-action crocs didn’t quite match the CGI?. Still liked it overall though, just not as much as the others. Nice to see azhdarchid babies. Would’ve been fun to sneak in a cameo from something like a Halszkaraptorine or even Deinocheirus. 

I enjoyed the Austroraptors! I wasn’t sure about gars being the prey but then I found out they existed in more than just North America longer ago so whatever, I’m not the expert lol. But yeah, just seeing a dinosaur like this on-screen was fun. Get those leftovers, juvie!

My favourite segment might’ve been about… a frog? Yeah, the Beelzebufo might’ve been my favourite this episode, followed by the Austroraptor. I love how it was animated, and also seeing it do more than just “OMG FROG EATS SMALL DINOSAURS”.

The Rapetosaurus were a nice appearance too, and honestly titanosaurs rolling in mud like elephants to cool off makes sense (their top halves seem to dry off quicker tho lol).

Now to the “okay we’re arbitrarily in swampy environments I GUESS” stuff that wouldn’t make it into North America. Despite the looser connection, still nice to see some good ol Hell Creek fauna. Pachycephalosaurus doing what people know they do, but it was still executed very well, especially with nice models. Weirdly my favourite moment might’ve been one eating insects, showing ornithischian omnivory is pretty cool. The younger Pachy was kind of a prick tho, they certainly were able to get me rooting against him quickly, lol. With the Austroraptor I rooted for the youths, with the Pachys I rooted against those darn kids. :P 

The Tyrannosaurus hunt was a nice way to end the episode. Not sure how the Edmontosaurus being twice as fast stacks up and what estimates they’re using (I did hear they might at least be better at longer distance running?), but still cool. Also always nice to see coordinated hunting from tyrannosaurs. They wouldn’t have as complex strategies as mammalian hunters from my understanding, but like you even see crocodiles that will hunt in groups sometimes so it’s a nice bit of behaviour.
