I know there are people far more in need, but as I'm having a bit of a financial hurdle currently I've set up a ko-fi. I don't like having to ask for charity but even if someone wants to throw a small amount my way it'd help.

Someone received the Anime Limited release of The Dangers In My Heart season 1...and the menu has the season 2 episode titles.

There's a lot of good folk at AL but something is clearly not working when a release without errors is the exception, not the norm.

Reminder that while this is primarily a Transformers fan account, it is also political because you can't collect plastic robots if ICE shoots you in the face.

I honestly think hoping the US army either refuses to obey orders or somehow revolts against the regime is hopium.

Yes, it has happened (eg the Orange Revolution when senior Ukrainian officers refuses to order troops to fire on protestors), but it is v rare except when armies plan military coups.

“Over a three‑year period, across 382 public authorities in England - including local councils, NHS trusts and domestic abuse refuges - only four formal complaints were recorded regarding trans women using facilities such as toilets, hospital wards or shelters.”

British FBI.

Brought to you by Remain and their moronic insistence we'd never lose our right to protest.

We were supposed to be a people's vanguard against the ascendant far right and instead we got dress up, sing alongs and grifting.

Does skybound transformers ever chill the fuck out
The pacing is so fast it feels like too many things happen at once and the characters are given no time to breathe
Something will get introduce in an issue and then fully resolved in the next and then 3 new things happen in the next issue

I’m really quite surprised at the BBC website today. ‘Here is a video, some people say it does not show what it very obviously shows’ is not how you report this.

the shelf so far:

I may still swap the R.E.D Cheetor out for the Kingdom *at some point* so everything scales better, idk the QC issues on that mold are scaring me off a bit. Like would I rather have a super accurate nerd that can't transform, or a correctly scaled nerd i'm too scared to transform?

Re: Russian funding- I recall the Animaniacs reboot addressing this and basically doing a whole episode that was full of racist caricatures.

Russian funding is a real problem but can we perhaps not resort to "Superman Says You Can Slap A J*p!" racism? There are Russians opposed to Putin's regime.

I mean this is why I've said voting the blue Tories out was never a silver bullet. 2016 made it clear a number of British institutions were now compromised. Russia was funding the global far right right under our noses and the reality is that institutions that should protect and inform us are now-
This perfectly demonstrates the pernicious nature of BBC two-sidism.

It almost always benefits the side with the most power.

In this case that's the side which is murdering peaceful protesters in the street, on camera, and then lying about it
The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Whenever I'm trying to do video edits I'm always trying to avoid this vid I saw like 15 years ago where someone had a ripped copy of Gundam SEED ep 1 and a radio bit where a guy complains about Pop Tart instructions. Didn't fit the footage at all and reuses scenes several times.

The BBC claims to have “research” that supports its decision to use abusive transphobic terms for trans women.

But it will not share that “research”.

At the most basic level research is not research if it is not published.

It is just a lie. The BBC is lying.

All the worse because they poured resources into the Biden campaign.

Labour are fucking terrified of having to admit we are European and will bank on any US president to save them with a trade deal they can tell the public is good.
Labour wants to be Trump's America specifically so fucking bad it is embarrassing.

Prologue annoys me because the show never really addresses the fact that Eri wouldn't have died if Prospera's mentor hadn't linked a toddler to Gund.

The show creates this by all accounts deadly technology and never really had its proponents realise and denounce that.
