They might accomplish that, they seem to have already jumped to the type of weapons that they're obliged to deny. https://twitter.com/amnesty/status/1712783307996377139 https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/human-rights-watch-says-israel-used-white-phosphorous-gaza-lebanon-2023-10-12/ edit: And ...

I'd have not said option 2, at least not as a main factor. As a recruitment push it involves sacrificing a lot of materiel and fighters, against an opponent that's prepared to let hospitals/vulnerable fail and die and to reduce the entire area to dirt whilst the world watches, and even if you did in...

Mostly because they skipped the bits about the allied powers in C20th wars being filthy terrorists making use of ABC weapons and attacking civilians. These tend to be the generation that talks like they fought in those wars despite being born too late to have.

Meta's also been warned, but a possible endgame here is that Musk gets fined, can't/doesn't pay it, and Twitter gets blocked in European countries. And the lid comes off the can of worms on Russian, Chinese, etc, disinformation. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/10/tech/x-europe-israel-misinformation/...

Mmm. Genocide would be more accurate -- hundreds of thousands of people crammed into a few square miles of land being starved, and a much larger number of civilians on both "sides" put at risk by war criminals in Hamas and war criminals in a far right Israeli govt. Going from TFW info --> ...

Neat design. Surprised we've never gotten Unicron acolytes although I suppose it'd be possible to cast the Cybertron deluxe head. Although not quite as noticeable in-hand, in various poses the arms on Bunter Prime feel like they belong on Tentakil and the legs like they're a kind of a Stilt-Man cosp...

Anything in particular or just the corrosive never-ending river of shit that political figures seem to be relying on to move from crisis to crisis fast enough to not be dissolved?

This is also a "remembering old toys" post that I think shows how far things have declined since Siege Megatron was designed. I know that Legacy G2 Laser Optimus Prime has the basic trailer, but there's no way this is a Leader class figure. At half price including shipping it's not too muc...

Read #1. It's competent. There's not a great deal in the dialogue to connect with previous characterisations, but there is actually some dialogue rather than being all fight or all splash pages (although these are fairly well used). They seem to be making a show of lethality in the combat, but who k...

Only got the first Sideswipe personally... ended up with Slamdance separately from the G2 Sideswipe. Although if I can get one separately or the pack cheaply I'd quite like the Kingdom one that was repacked with the eagle to repaint closer to ActionMaster Sideswipe colours. edit: https://tfarchive.c...

Plus it's nice to keep discs around as backups (probably knocking on for a thousand in a handful of the largest size disc wallets that are available, which is another reason I can't be bothered to systematically rip them) but a lot of old TV shows and cartoons are past any great monetisation potenti...

Samba or FTP is as convenient, if doing files. Android VLC can play ISOs (or a device symlinked as one). Having said ISO, Handbrake on Very Fast 480p preset seems to be as quick as just ripping and on very average hardware it's chugged through a 3hr gig recording. I'm only going to do a few discs at...

Quite a few recently. The D&D movie, first season of SNW, first couple of seasons of ALF, an old LTJ gigs compilation, etc. If not just finding elsewhere will probably be going with the option of ripping ISOs and playing them from main PC rather than what I'd hoped to do with a laptop and stream...

Weirdly, Minerva's plentiful over here at less than initial price (not really clearanced but online stores clearly overstocked and have moved on to trying to sell other things). The new Bombshock wouldn't make a bad Bludgeon alt mode -- better fit than the original MM -- but I'm probably just going ...

Good shout on the Throttlebots -- all it would take for a few of them is one appropriately scaled design that isn't too angular and this could be it. With some of the barrel-scraping Hasbro does with remoulds and repaints I wouldn't be surprised if we got some non-combining combiner team members but...

I think you'd have to really squint to get to the Stormbringer design; https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:IDWBludgeonShell.jpg Milne's Tarn seems to be ganglier so the design isn't far off for that character, ditto the Super7 one, although Flame Toys and 3P have gone in more beefy directions. https://i.im...

Pretty much. Only had a brief look-see so far. Try not to spend too much time doom-scrolling anyway, so the vibe on Bluesky is nicer at the moment. If a few other people who share news got on board, it'd be a fairly effective replacement (and also more depressing, given the state of news and the wor...

Bit less of a response on repro rub signs, incidentally, they don't seem as reactive.
