Question how did starscream feel when is babies were being born I can see him freaking out a little think am I a good enough sire for my little sparklings. Also who’s baby came first or was it at the same time

Oh, Starscream is scary like a litte shit, but swings from being in a total panic state to a "I'm perfect" state even after the born of the sparklings (pretty much like this previous answer)

And he also got very different reaction to the born of Atalanta and Windrider. To answer, Atalanta comes first and (i think one years later or some months? Is not really much time between the two, but I'll ask GF) then Windrider.

Since wasn't really ready to be a sire (and probably even Optimus didn't expect to could be a carrier), Star got very detached and very "Starscream" reaction when she was Atalanta. While for Windrider Skyfire was so excited and happy that Starscream refrain (as many times with Sky) to be a little acid glitch.

Also, I know you want zoom on babies derpy faces. Yes, yes I KNOW.

(Atalanta still the derpiest among the two)

ICE just tried to deport this woman, but there was just one problem — she's a Native American. Leticia Jacobo, a 24-year-old member of Arizona’s Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, was born in Phoenix — but that didn’t stop ICE from trying to ship her “back” to a country she doesn’t even belong to.

Send ICE BOTOX Barbbie to hell.

On This Day — May 2, 1860: Theodor Herzl was born in Budapest.

He began life as the most unlikely of Jewish prophets — a thoroughly assimilated, secular Viennese journalist and playwright who truly believed the Jewish people could simply vanish into enlightened Europe and be safe.

He was wrong.

The rising tide of modern racial antisemitism shattered him. In Vienna, Karl Lueger built a political career on Jew-hatred. In Paris, Herzl watched the Dreyfus Affair unfold — a Jewish officer framed for treason while mobs screamed “Death to the Jews!” — and realized emancipation had been a cruel illusion. Jews were no longer hated for their religion. They were hated for being Jews.

Herzl saw what almost no one else did: the Jewish people would never be safe without a state of their own.

In 1896 he published Der Judenstaat (“The Jewish State”), declaring:

“The Jewish question persists wherever Jews live in appreciable numbers ... This is the case, and will inevitably be so, everywhere.”

One year later, in 1897, he convened the First Zionist Congress in Basel and later wrote in his diary: “At Basel I founded the Jewish State.”

He told the world: “If you will it, it is no dream” and “We are a people — one people.”

For the next seven years he poured himself into the cause with superhuman effort — meeting the Ottoman Sultan, the German Kaiser, the Pope, and British officials — begging, negotiating, and pleading for the right of the Jewish people to return to their ancient homeland. He exhausted himself completely.

He died on July 3, 1904, at the age of just 44 — worn out, broken in body, but never in vision.

He never lived to see the catastrophe he feared was coming. He never saw the Holocaust. But he saw clearly what emancipation could not fix: that even in “enlightened” Europe, the Jews would never be truly accepted.

He was right.

In 1948 — just 44 years after his death — the State of Israel rose from the ashes of exile and genocide. In 1949 his remains were brought home to Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, the city he loved but barely knew.

One assimilated Jew, shaken by the hatred he witnessed, dared to turn a 2,000-year-old dream into a political plan. Because of him, the Jewish people once again have a home.

Am Yisrael Chai.
