Errors, “Errors,” and Sci Fi
@strawberry-crocodile
tvtropes calls stuff like the wolf example "science matches on" which I think is a pretty fair shake
This.  This is what’s got me thinking so much about errors.  There’s a certain danger, here.  A certain way that this particular effect — delicious dramatic irony — tempts the mind when reading old stories, even true ones.
What do you know about R.M.S. Titanic? I ask my class every year, and the first hand rises.  “It was unsinkable,” the student inevitably says, and everyone is nodding, “or so they thought.”  I write the word UNSINKABLE on the board, underneath my crude drawing of a ship with four smokestacks.  It will be crossed out before the end of the hour, but not for the reason they expect.
“I find no evidence,” Walter Lord, preeminent biographer of the ship’s survivors, wrote, “that Titanic was ever advertised as unsinkable. This detail seems to have entered the collective mind so as to create a more perfect irony.”  Indeed, historians’ examinations of White Star Line documents show the shipbuilders themselves worried it would be so large as to risk collision; they stocked several more lifeboats than 1910s regulations required.
The War to End All Wars (deep breath, satisfied exhale), also known as World War ONE. Chuckle.  Shake of the head.  What if I told you that this phrase, used primarily in American newspapers after the fact, wasn’t meant to be literal? Nowadays we’d say The Mother of All Wars, or One Hell of a Fucking War, but we wouldn’t mean literal motherhood, literal intercourse.  What if I said the armistice and the Lost Generation and the Roaring 20s were all braced for another outbreak of European conflict, and yet we still failed to prevent it?
Did you know they were so confident in the safety of the S.S. Challenger that they put a civilian schoolteacher onboard? I do, because I’ve heard that one repeated many times.  Only, see, it’s got the cause and effect reversed.  Challenger launched on a day the shuttle’s engineers knew to be dangerously cold, because the first civilian in space was on board. And NASA knew its shuttle project would be cancelled entirely, if they couldn’t get that civilian’s much-delayed entry into space in the next two weeks.  So they launched on a cold day, and killed her instead.
These are all what cognitive science calls Hindsight Bias on the personal level, what sociology calls Presentism on the cultural level.  Social psychology’s a little of both, is primarily interested in why you’re sitting on your couch in a Colonize Mars shirt watching PBS and chuckling at the fools who believed in El Dorado.  It wants to know why the mind flees straight from “marijuana will kill you” to “marijuana will cure cancer” without so much as a pause on the middle ground of its real benefits and drawbacks, its real (mild) risks and rewards.
And they can paralyze the sci-fi writer, if you think too much about them. Jetsons is futurist one decade, retro the next.  “There are no bathrooms on the Enterprise,” the creators of Serenity say smugly, as if Gene Roddenberry should’ve simply known that decades later it’d be acceptable to show a man peeing in full view of the camera, nothing but the curve of the actor’s hand to protect his modesty.  “No sound in space,” the Fandom Menace says, “No explosions in space,” and “A space station can’t collapse in zero-G.”  Only then NASA burns a paper napkin outside of atmosphere, transmits music using only the ghost of nearby planets’ gravities, and logs onto Reddit long enough to point out the Death Star would implode in its own gravity field.  And now we’re the ones pointing, the ones laughing, at those earlier point-and-laughers.  Self-satisfied, smug in superiority.  As if we did the work to find out ourselves, instead of just happening to be born a little later than George Lucas.

Camp Cretaceous screen shot redraws! I originally had a bunch more of these I wanted to do (and in fact I’ve posted one of these ones on its own already) and although I haven’t had the time to do the rest I’ve been getting sooo excited for Chaos Theory that I decided to just post the ones I did have done!

This genuinely makes me sad. They just got back and they already have cameras shoved in their faces.

Just giving a heads up for Camp Cretaceous/Chaos Theory fans (new or old) to go ahead and block and report @/animationfan1133 if you havent already.
He's known in the jwcc community for being a violently racist, Transphobic, Homophobic, and any other phobic under the sun creep, known as Vadim.
Bringing this up since I saw him already bothering a user. He makes new accounts when his current gets banned but is easy to identify by the way he types.

Well, we now have evidence of parthenogenesis in birds *and* crocodiles. That forms the phylogenetic bracket around non-avian dinosaurs. Any nonavian - any dinosaur - could have undergone parthenogenesis under the right conditions. We can officially get rid of the frog dna.

summary from the new IGN article on JWCT! (MILD SPOILERS):
- yaz is studying psychology in college! recently she’s been working on “immersion therapy” technology meant to help people like her with dinosaur-related trauma
- at least one non-camper from JWCC is set to return!! possibly more. it’s kept vague on purpose
- we will get at least one flashback of brooklyn. she may be dead, but brooklyn fans will be receiving some pre-death crumbs

Studies I drew while referencing Will Nichols' expression sheets to figure out my storyboard shorthand for the adult Nublar 6 designs on Jurassic World Chaos Theory.
My shorthand wound up evolving, but it's still interesting to see where I started.
Check out the original expression sheets here-- they're fantastic!

darius watching old videos of the six of them together has the same energy as rereading old text conversations with friends you had a fallout with

Jack Perry expressed frustration at NJPW Sakura Genesis but then claimed that despite all the amazing things in pro wrestling now, all people can talk about is him.
