Was your dad paying any attention to this year's convention when the platform that the party officially adopted was just a laundry list of Trump social media posts in all caps?

Some time in the early '00s my dad got pinged by a headhunter who was desperate to find people who knew COBOL. I never got the whole story about how they got my dad's name, but as evidence of just how desperate they were, the sum total of my dad's COBOL experience had been a two-month summer...

Considering the fact that Jolt, Sandstorm, and Bulkhead are all carrying rough approximations of M-16s, it's definitely a nod to 'Nam.

These things were clogging the pegs at the Targets in my area for literally months. I picked up a couple of extras that had been clearanced down to like $6 on a whim. Does the world really need more of them?

I'm going to guess that at least one of them is miscolored, because the black one on the left looks like a Harrier, so it would make sense if it was supposed to be Slingshot, to round out the Aerialbots and also to mirror the teeny tiny set of them that came with Broadside's TR figure, but he's...

Yup. Under Kennedy and Johnson the old racist Dixiecrats started to get pushed out of the Democratic party, and Nixon welcomed them into the GOP with open arms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

The latest additions: interviews with Paul Eiding (Perceptor), Arif S. Kinchen (Jazz), and Frank Todaro (Starscream, etc.)

If that wasn't deliberate, I'll eat my hat. And I spent last weekend hiking and camping, so my hat is kind of gross at the moment. (It's the first half of episode 7 for anyone who's not familiar, and it also has a ton of blink-and-you'll-miss-it references to TF series of yore, so you can tell...

Oh no, the girls are fighting.

A few years back some folks created a fork called "Glimpse" to fix the naming problem, but sadly it only lasted a couple of years.

I'd probably still be using my iPhone 8 that I got back in 2018 if Apple hadn't announced that the 2022 iPhone SE would be the last use of the 6/7/8/SE chassis, which I have become rather fond of, so I picked up the '22 SE back in the spring before the availability window closed.

There have been a few occasions when the first and only time I've seen some of the 'retro' figures at a Wal-Mart has been in the clearance aisle.

Reminds me of the old Volkswagens in the optional "harlequin" paint scheme:

"Sheild-D-Prime"? Should've made it white with more spikes and called it "LigerConvoy".

Not only was the pacing bad, but the nonlinear storytelling really didn't work imho and left the whole thing a disjointed mess. And when it got towards the end it became obvious that it was intended to be a 'part one' instead of a self-contained story. It's kind of a shame, because there was...

If by 'background check' you mean 'take Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Don Jr.'s word that he would be good', then yes.
