Hot take

If I could be arsed to learn how to edit videos and had some kind of mic, I would 110% make a two part video essay series on the politics of Jurassic World because MY GOD, there's so much to dissect.

The first part would be about how the park is the epitome of neoliberal futurism for techbros, including the way the park so easily falls apart though I doubt that aspect is purposeful. Everything is aesthetic first and function second, and we can't possibly use any of the reliable infrastructure we've already come up with because a train is not gonna get us to Mars, but a monorail might.

And the second would be about the buckwild terrible gender politics going on. The movie is deeply unsympathetic to Claire seemingly because she's a woman who prioritised her career as it's both centre to her character arc and also an inciting event of one of the plots. Not to mention the whole Zara thing or the Owen and Claire thing or the stupid "him, I meant him, line. The movie is rife with misogyny, but it feels like that specific misogyny was isekaied over from backlash to second wave feminism.

I could talk about it all for so long because in a way, it feels like a perfect time capsule for 2015. Back when people took Claire running in heels to be this feminist statement to be made fun of and not just a deeply misogynistic movie trying to sell you feminism. And back when Elon Musk managed to get away with his "I'm the real life Iron Man" shit, and people believed he was smart and all his plans would come to fruition. 2015 was a great time to be a tech bro in Silicon Valley with people just throwing money at all your fake promises.

Yeah. See. This is what I mean when I say I could talk about it forever.

If nonavian dinos never went extinct, and the earth cooled as I did, do you think previously fatherless dinos would have become feathered to keep warm? Like a ceratopsian or hadrosaur or even a sauropod? Or do you think they would have been big enough it wouldn't have mattered? Just something I always think about because elephants are mostly hairless to lose body heat but mammoths were the same size and really hairy

They would 100% regain their feathers. As far as we can tell, outside of ~ Maniraptoriformes feathers are a plastic trait, meaning it’s turned on and off at the regulatory level over generations but circumstances can lead to the population regaining them. We keep seeing scales and feathers bounce around like mad just to make understanding their evolution that much trickier, so this would apply here as well

open starter location: main street; general vicinity

"Hey - can you hand me that?" Rex's bucket of water was just out of reach, and he couldn't leave the start of his (horrible) snow dinosaur without it losing integrity. "This is how you make a very serious snow creation - you gotta freeze it as you go along."

Feel like Goosemic is very bad at hiding the fact that it is in fact, not a goose. Lil fleshy tendrils are out all the time and they probably act like the wrong bird some times,,,

Little pathetic alien thing💥💥💥💥🪶💥

HOOHOOHOO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but aren't all the so-far known goose-things bad at hiding it..... last time i checked, birds don't have opposable thumbs. or traditional arms in general. or real bone teeth...,.

obsessed with this reoccurring pokemon body type. motherfucker unlimited

[albino-parakeet]

I need to not be obsessed.

But do you think in universe some people call Henry Wu the Patron Saint of De-Extinction… (I know that saints are usually deceased so like after he dies or whatever idk)

like how not a lot but some people (usually online/on tumblr) call Laika the Patron Saint of One Way Trips.

the first years talk about what kaho told them about last year's beach training camp and ginko's like "kaho-senpai likes kozue-senpai too much so she exaggerates :/" lol

[unopenablebox]

This is said with an academic lack of judgment but I think pavb¡e shippers and m¡gb shippers are divergent evolution of the same ancestor: no¡rham shippers
