    G1 Transformers Size, Power, and Mass

    Basing your opinion of John Barber on a single sentence from the end of someone's post about Simon Furman on TFW is certainly one way you could do it.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Everyone on Twitter I have followed who has tried Threads has said it's horrible and not a suitable Twitter replacement. The main complaint is that your feed does not show a reverse chronological timeline of posts from people you actually follow, but instead shows you whatever recent posts the...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Missed this, but Lindsey Graham tried to speak at a Trump rally in his own state and got booed: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/07/02/lindsey-graham-booed-donald-trump-south-carolina-2024-rally/70377051007/

    G1 Transformers Size, Power, and Mass

    Also I'm reminded I had a dream the other night that the cast of Rescue Bots Academy guest starred on EarthSpark. Which I'm sure would have caused an absolute uproar on the Wiki if it actually happened.

    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...

    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!
