Oh yeah, because this won't in any way shape or form lead to people attacking delivery persons, Uber drivers etc. FFS, the image alone is meant to instil fear. That is guaranteed to lead to attacks.

Man, look at that voice cast. Clancy Brown, Danny Pudi, Dante Basco, Sean Astin, Mae Whitman - they were spending REAL MONEY on this at a time when Transformers was running on non-union pennies, and they Zaslav'd FIFTY TWO completed half-hour episodes. Appalling.

Worst part? We finished the final episode delivery in Jan. 2020... we had an entire 2 season run to show during the gotdayum pandemic when nothing was being made or greenlit! And it wouldn't have been content for content's sake -- the show was really good! And look at our cast!!!
Someone leaked the entire unreleased Micronauts animated series to archive.org
All 52 episodes
Yes they FULLY FINISHED a Micronauts cartoon in the early 2020s and mothballed it

tested ep1 of Micronauts, skipped to the credits so I could see every name of every crew member who put in so much work with the expectation that anybody would ever see the thing they did as part of their vocation in a creative field, working in service of what should be a reliable client & partner

interesting to see how much more coverage here we're getting of a chant at a music festival than the IDF being ordered to shoot and murder people in Gaza who are seeking aid!

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity
"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there"

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

A reminder. Only 6% of voters surveyed at the last GE said immigration was the issue they were most concerned about. Giving McGregor or any other eejit the opportunity to rehash that debate is going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. It will only become an issue if we let it. #spéirgorm

When you hear Newstalk pundits saying “we need adults in the room” or “student union politics”, what they mean is “evil and corrupt people are in power and it’s best to join them rather than try to change or oppose anything. Please eat this cheese with me, for I am a small wittle rat”

18 games at once is a bit Mr Creosote to be honest.
It sounds spectacular, but it’s actually a colossal waste of games you’d like to watch but can’t.

Can't explain why but I need my half time analysis done in a studio. It's just not the same when they do it pitchside. It bums me out. It's not the real thing. It's sleeping on a plane, it's having lunch at your desk.

This is the worst news for Rugby Union in the UK for decades. The Six Nations is the only time most people here give a shit about rugby. You take that off free-to-air TV and the sport becomes a closed shop with no shot at ever growing.
