Outside the law I'm a #podcast fiend, and this week @dandkuniverse.bsky.social answered my question: do big creatures move slow (eg. giant Ant-Man) or fast (eg. Eva Units)? The answer refers to the t-rex, so #Marvel, #anime, and #dinosaur fans are covered! #thanksdandk www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...
