I just saw this video and checked to see if any of what it was mentioned was already posted here. Transformers stuff we haven't seen before include a 40th anniversery retool of Legacy Leo Prime, and a new high-end possibly-diecast line called Adamas Machina. First two releases are IDW Rodimus...

Romney admits that the TikTok ban is because social media makes propaganda less effective: https://www.commondreams.org/news/gaza-israel-tiktok

Republicans would rather let cancer have a win than Biden: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2024/05/05/biden-cancer-moonshot-initiative-congress-funding/73525016007/ And this is just gross...

It won't cost more than any other prisoner, unless they do something absurd like treat him differently from others convicted of the same crime.

Honestly I was being more specific than I needed to be. The religion-related definition for "denomination" at Wiktionary is just "A class, or society of individuals, called by the same name; a subdivision of a religion." So it's not even a synonym for "sect" (which is why I included "ingroup...

The 2003 Universe line ended in 2005, though. And the 2008 one obviously didn't start until after the 2007 movie line. A few specific exclusives intended for it were released in the movie line instead, but the line itself lasted right up until it was time for the next movie's line to start.

I hope this was made by someone unfamiliar with Star Trek...

Police violently arrested protesters, then also violently arrested a professor for just asking why. Apparently she's been charged with "battery" even though it's ******* obvious that the police assaulted her, not the other way around...

It's officially supposed to be as non-specific as possible. (It fails at this even when not being hijacked by extremists.) The only legal defense that even exists for any of the blatant-but-trivial first amendment violations by the government is that they're just "ceremonial deism" and not...

With defense like this, who needs prosecutors?

The main issue is that they'd charge the owners of sites to not have their sites slowed down, which means the profitable sites owned by large corporations would be the main ones that wouldn't become less usable. (Then they might also upcharge customers for those sites if they think they can get...

I think you're emphasizing a distinction that no one has actually disputed. No one said said he should have been arrested for "mere possession". "When they actually found and removed all those top secret documents" was after the attempts to obstruct.

Well, it's no surprise that things are borked in Russia, but still: https://www.404media.co/russia-clones-wikipedia-censors-it-bans-original/
