Who

The FUCK

CARES?!

they deliberately left out Danny Glover, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey and forgot to mention that Sandra Bullock and Jeff Goldblum have Jewish heritage

In a story important to Jews and Christians, they hired Jews and Christians

Also completely left out Ofra Haza who played Moses’ mother and is legit 100% Israeli.

You guys are fucking exhausting.

The Prince of Egypt: *consults with countless scholars from all three Abrahamic religions to make sure they were telling the story correctly, hires notable black and Jewish talent for the voice cast, taps the guy who played Coalhouse Motherfluffing Walker in “Ragtime” (a show all about racial tensions in America) on Broadway to sing one of the film’s most beautiful songs, taps the same Israeli singer to reprise her role as Yochaved in almost every foreign dub of the film, and is generally much more respectful to its source than any live-action Biblical epic released in the past fifty years*

Tumblr: “But why are there white people???????”

Tumblr: Jews? What are those?

Ardyn: [in English] Ardyn Lucis Caelum is my proper name. You’ll never guess whose name Izunia was.
Noct: Your brother’s?
Ardyn: [in French] No, my family’s. My brother’s name was Somnus. We got the Lucis Caelum part from the Crystal. [back to English] Where’d you get THAT idea?
Noct: …Your phrasing?

Okay, I frickin’ adore the Earth Is Space Australia business, so here’s my two cents. Someone did a great post about laughter as a fear response and how freaky that would be to aliens. 

There’s another thing we do when we’re about to go into battle and we’re scared out of our minds. 

So Alien Steve is minding his own business as the new guy on the Starship Incandescent. It’s a mixed ship, about half human, a quarter Silesian, and the rest a grab bag of species, but he hasn’t had any major problems so far. Then the pirates show up and shoot out their FTL drives so they can’t escape, and they’re outnumbered ten to one, and he calculates their odds of survival at very low. The comm link is still active, so they can hear the pirates laughing as they get ready to tear the Incandescent open and vent them all into vacuum. At least the end will be quick. 

And then he hears it. 

Stamp stamp clap. Stamp stamp clap. Stamp stamp clap. Stamp stamp clap.

And Human Steve starts chanting. It makes no sense. Human incantations are for birth anniversaries, or aquatic grooming rituals, or for the ancient rite of passage known as “ka-ra-oke”. This is not a time of celebration. It is a time of preparing for imminent and ugly death by gravity cannon. But every human on the bridge starts chanting, too. 

The pirates aren’t laughing anymore. Human Steve wraps his fingers around the main gunnery controls, and the crew descends as one into battle. 

Teradecads later, his students will beg him for the story of how the Incandescent destroyed the Tyn’x Syndicate. To this day he credits their victory to the invocation of the great Human battle god Queen.

Had to include the screen-cap because otherwise I’d have a shit-ton of Trump supporters saying “this isn’t true” in my mentions. This IS true. This IS fucked up. And y’all should be TERRIFIED this is happening in our country.

Thank you @adobsonartworks for sharing. I wouldn’t have believed it either, but here we fucking are.

If anyone else is still dubious about this:

  • here is the link for the Slate article, where the USCIS director is quoted, “What we’re looking at, when you boil it all down, is potentially a few thousand cases” – and this even though there have only been about 300 denaturalization cases since 1990
  • here is further background from The New Yorker: “Historically, denaturalization has been an exceedingly rare occurrence, for good reason: by the time a person is naturalized, she has lived in this country for a number of years and has passed the hurdles of obtaining entry, legal permanent residency, and, finally, citizenship. The conceit of naturalization is that it makes an immigrant not only equal to natural-born citizens but indistinguishable from them. So denaturalization, much like the process of stripping a natural-born American of citizenship, has been an extraordinary procedure reserved for very serious cases, mostly those of war criminals.”
  • and here’s a link a Chicago Tribune article which notes that “2,536 naturalization cases have prompted an in-depth review so far”

Re-reblogging links for the doubtful. They are talking about snatching up Naturalized Citizens and deporting them. This has become a thing to discuss. In THIS country.
