I know the BW guys were canonically smaller than most Transformers, but this Rat is fucking miniscule next to Rise of Beasts Optimus Primal, who is canonically enormous (as big as movie Optimus Prime).
I need a new rat, I think. Maybe MPG. 🤔 But expensive 😭

I've had this guy since it came out, and I'm still amazed at how poseable he is, he doesn't have any unusual articulation or anything other Transformers haven't had before and yet he's still wildly expressive

Historically you can't vote out fascism... Doesn't mean it can't be done, just that it hasn't been done yet.
Typically fascism is FORCED out of power, either by another country invading and liberating its people, or by the people themselves rising up and doing VIOLENCE on the government.

Even though it's abundant, ubiquitous, and fucking everywhere, I still love quartz.
It's just silicon dioxide which is littered everywhere in Earth's crust, you can probably find quartz in your backyard.
But godamn quartz is so cool.

"The Magicks of Megas-Tu" is a truly fascinating episode. Sympathy for the devil indeed, condemnation of witch trials. And in 1970s USA.

This really is the purest example I can imagine of a terminal case of pundit brain. This is the end point of American exceptionalism: we will dig our own grave while explaining how we are a people uniquely incapable of digging a grave and this is a garden, actually

I'm committed to getting all the Primes, so I will get these two...But damn are they uninspiring.
There's got to be more to Nexus, the Prime of COMBINERS, than what we're seeing here, because, just this is not enough.
This design for Liege is not my preferred design, so I'm strongly ambivalent.

I often speak gibberish, to myself but out loud. Just strings of nonsense sounds that sometimes vaguely sound like other languages. Sometimes as methods of alleviating exasperation, struggle or pain, like swear words.

Reading this book (image 1), which was published in 2024, and likely written in 2023 or earlier, and this passage (image 2) seems to be aptly prescient, which describes a certain President...
![Text from the aforementioned book, with a section highlighted
[...] to nave ever existea. dur tnese are not character traits. The dark side did
not create the ambition or desires within Palpatine, they just provided him
with the tools to achieve them. Palpatine , for all his power, all his ability to
pull the strings of government, his charisma as a senator, and his scheming
as Emperor was not a flawless or insurmountable genius.
[BEGIN HIGHLIGHTED SECTION]
If you strip away all these aspects and all his mystical powers, what you are left with is the
real Palpatine. An arrogant, vicious, petty man. A man so utterly deter-
mined to rule the galaxy in as oppressive a manner as possible and yet,
simultaneously, so full of wounded pride that even the smallest acts of
rebellion-or rejection produced violent responses.
[END HIGHLIGHTED SECTION]
A man who, for all his
power, was so terrified of death that he effectively burned the galaxy to the
ground to avoid it, With this in mind, we can now examine Palpatine's rise
to power as a senator and supreme chancellor, his reign as Emperor, and
his activities as Sith Lord through the lens of what we can already establish
about his personality. Taking these aspects as the starting point we can
begin to see things differently,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fflzu2gzu7zjuh26rvi4vcxq/bafkreihh5sixv6rhfg5ldtuuloxsl42lplscw2untu7rhbezk3osgnbh6y@jpeg)

There can be no "social cohesion" as long as even a single member of the society in question is oppressed, as long as dark periods in that society's past are swept under the rug and left unexamined, as long as the rich and powerful abuse their unearned privilege.

Please can folks share this blog with cis folks they know in Scotland. Teachers. Healthcare workers. Council workers. Government. The UNCRC is part of Scottish law - every public institution, from small to large, has UNCRC obligations to trans children.
When the Scottish Government embedded the UNCRC into Scottish law, it made a commitment to children across Scotland.
When it comes to trans children, that promise has fallen short.
