For some reason, some people decided that everybody must voice their stances in regards to recent (and still on going) events related to what happened not long ago in Minneapolis. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having an opinion on the matter, regardless of what it is and express it in the appropriate circles.
I am however strinclty against having any type of political, racial, dating preferences, religious and other unrelated topics being inserted into paleontology hobby and community (regardless of their alignment). All these issues eventually cause tribalism and division, which in turn generates echo chambers and real toxicity. Paleontology both as a scientific community and as a hobby has so far been one of the only common grounds where people of various views can sit down and have a conversation without letting those views get in the way. If politics and other irrelevant hot topics are allowed to be inserted into the community then from common ground it will turn into battle ground.
Feel free to read a study on the subject: researchgate.net/publication/315977010_Millions_of_online_book_co-purchases_reveal_partisan_differences_in_the_consumption_of_science
Attacking people for refusing to make any declarations or stances regarding any listed issues using a paleo platform is simply NOT OKAY and will not be tolerated. Such disgusting behaviour will be called out and perpetrators will not be welcome.
Those of you who who have experienced such attacks and have been bullied over it, do NOT bend your knee to the attackers. You do NOT owe them anything! Instead, join my discord and book a podcast session with me to share your experience! You will be treated with respect regardless of what views you have and will be given a chance to enjoy this hobby without it being ruined by identity politics and all things alike. Fandom Menace of paleo corner has your back!

NOTE: All potentially political ties to the discussion are solely focused on the specific cases in isolation and do not represent general political views/ alignments of the participants.
There has been no additional material to reignite the sparks of the debate to support filaments in Tyrannosaurids, just as there has been never any evidence or studies published and described on "lips" (extra oral tissue extending to cover the teeth) of theropods in general. The former is solely centered around old and crude arguments and opinions, many of which are based on myths and misconceptions. The latter is at most based on an old thesis, which has never been peer reviewed and published in scientific hournal, lacked actual quantifiable evidence to support the claim and some occasional blog post opinion pieces.
The debate overall is given too much attention than it deserves at this point in my opinion, for the reasons I provided above. More evidence pointing either way may somehow be a worthy cause to revise it, but at the moment I see no reason to keep going on about it.
In any case, those were my own thoughts, you however enjoy the video and stay safe! :)
