    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    One bit of dialogue I recall from the movie which mildly confused me was when Airazor reunites with the other Maximals, Primal asks her about the "others" and she responds that they're all gone. Which suggests that Airazor had her own group of Maximals she commanded, but Primal's group at the...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    That is a really great question. If I hit reload on my Twitter home page with 100 tweets on it, does that use another 100 of my allowance of tweets? I'm assuming "yes". When someone replies to a tweet from two years ago, and Twitter shows me both the ancient tweet and the reply, does that count...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Well, that's a height of unusability that we reached earlier than I expected.

    Nothing out of the ordinary, just an audio recording of Trump discussing the contents of a top secret document with a staffer:

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    It released in NZ as of the 21st, though box office results haven't been reported on it yet. My local cinema had a "preview" screening on the 10th which I went to.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Sadly it looks like Belarus has stepped in and brokered a truce between the mercenaries and Putin.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    I like that someone's already amended the Wagner Group Wikipedia page so the list of allies includes " Russian Armed Forces (2014–2023)"

    Gotham Knights - CW TV series

    That really sucks. It's a bit of an oddball show continuitywise, but I really liked the characters and how the writing did some interesting stuff that was both different and familiar at the same time.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I hate to rain on perfectly good dystopian comedy, but that listing has been on their site for several years now: http://web.archive.org/web/20200803114408/https://oceangate.com/about/career-opportunities/submersible-pilot.html Someone dodged an implosion by not taking that job.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Not entirely sure why the mercenary group leader who is looking to overthrow Putin is posting updates online so that Putin knows what they are doing, but maybe it's misdirection?

    Trial date has been tentatively set for Aug 14, but it doesn't sound like this is likely to be the actual date, from what Politico says: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/20/trump-trial-date-documents-case-00102632

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Earth isn't Unicron in Rise of the Beasts, but at some point before The Last Knight, Unicron time travels back and merges with primordial Earth so he can start emerging in that film. There, fixed!

    I was just surprised to find out that the Misfits have moved on from hassling Jem and the Holograms.

    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    Here's an archive of a paywalled article about it: https://archive.is/r6vjZ The summary in the previous article was inaccurate. What actually happened was that a company with a blockchain-based game got hacked by the North Koreans who stole a bunch of money from the game's users.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I felt like Cheetor and Rhinox were not fantastically showcased during the movie. They were just there, in the background, barely having any lines. I was hoping for at least a shot in the final battle where Rhinox pulled out two massive chainguns and let loose, but I barely remember seeing him...

    It's not that crazy when all the media they consume is telling them that Trump did nothing wrong and the DOJ is being weaponized against Biden's enemies. Why would they change what they believe when Fox News and other outlets are reinforcing the right-wing fantasy?

    If Trump does go to jail before the election, I'll be interested to see if any of the candidates promise to issue a pardon for him when they get elected in an attempt to get Trump's supporters to vote for them.
