And we're still dealing with the consequences.

Transformers MPG-17 Optimus Prime (Style Gen.) In robot mode

Transformers MPG-17 Optimus Prime (Style Gen.) In robot mode

I feel reasonably confident in speculating that this was conceived for a different line that isn't happening and was later shoehorned into MPG to get that $Optimus, because it doesn't feel like a MP. Feels like a third party MP-10 derivative. Not bad, but you have been here before.

Lawyer might be in over his head.

You really can't say it any better than this. 1 OB, three pregnant women, biggest metro area in the state, vague law (when is it medically necessary?).

a cartoon character says there 's nothing i can do in front of a group of people Alt: a white cartoon character with a beard and a red yarmulke (Kyle's dad from South Park) says there 's nothing i can do in front of a group of people

The supreme court will rule it unconstitutional, so there's absolutely nothing they can do at that point. Nothing. They can't change the composition of the court or pass amendments or change executive orders or any of that. It's all impossible! We must have a police state.

Gotta ask some clarifying questions there. Does he mean a 6-sided polygon or a polygon that uses hexagons? A regular six-sided polygon is a cube or in general a hexahedron. There aren't any regular polygons with hexagonal sides so it would just be called a polygon.

Bill allowing couples to opt out of no-fault divorce advances in Iowa Senate β€’ Iowa Capital Dispatch A bill that would allow couples registering for marriage licenses to opt out of no-fault divorce failed to advance in the Iowa Senate.

I’ve been writing pretty extensively warning about the plan to end no fault divorce in America. And Iowa is often a testing ground for the administration’s plans. So its worth paying attention to this bill iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026/02/09/b...

Cyclops from the X-Men doing his eye thing in a giant hand. My hand. I’m the giant. I only buy these things because I deeply related to that giant idiot child from Fraggle Rock. It’s also why I snack a lot. I relate to the Fraggles eating Doozer Sticks. I live as a garbage person because I related to the Trash Heap.

Throwback Thursday - I get my test copy of RwC 1 TEN YEARS AGO today. I've reprinted it a few times since and then made a "2nd print" with a new back cover and a few slight changes.

Yep, I'd go with this. A nutribullet doesn't clean very well, and if you fill it too full, it can spurt out the bottom where the blades are at and into the motor.

The last time the US was defending my freedoms (if then), my parents weren't even born yet. The last time before that, I think my great-great-great-grandparents had just immigrated. The US hasn't defended freedom a whole lot despite the number of wars in 250 years.

I just sent an email too. It might be a drop in the bucket but I've spent decades and a huge amount of money on Transformers and I needed them to know that they can say goodbye to all of that if Hasbro Potter product hits shelves.

I seem to recall it mostly being lawyers, programmers, and dock workers. A lot of people of color died, but I haven't seen the last few.
Good that all the poachers died.

Not only short, but also rail thin. Like she's tiny even compared to other 5'2 actors. But she has such a powerful unique voice.
