Intro post? Okay.
I'm Rob! I've been on a Transformers podcast for 15 years and have been YouTubing for 11 or 12 I think. I mostly cover Gundam games these days, especially #GBO2, and love robot toys and models as well as action figures in general. I'm cranky when people get hurt for fun & profit.

So Hasbro has announced it's gonna do some Harry Potter toys and I can only hope that those flop with a thud as loud as their Tron Haslab or those Dungeons and Dragons movie action figures that still litter shops even after heavy discounts.

Just emailed Hasbro (hasbro-new.custhelp.com/app/ask). It may be yelling at the wind (... it IS yelling at the wind) but they need to know people pay attention to this.
It isn't just about toys, it is about the workers who can't lose their jobs being forced to work on the bigot engine.

Transformers has spent the last few decades openly supporting LGBTQIA+ people. Now it's siding with a franchise that funds harassing them to the point of suicide. Fuck that.

If you talked about food costing more and wages not meaningfully increasing in 20 years in 2024, what you got was "my spreadsheet says your lived experience is wrong. You're a Russian bot trying to make Dems look bad."
Now that we have more significant demands, they're all "let's talk egg prices."

I received an incredibly enticing work solicitation today, one that sounded so promising that I thought, "There has got to be a catch here."
Gentle reader, the catch was that it was a pitch for me to help create AI shit.

I decided to restart Nioh 2 since Nioh 3 is getting a lot of positive buzz at the moment. And I still like it, and it has some of the best level design out of any Souls-inspired games, and it's the most confident in taking that format as a base and making it its own thing. And...

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214.
Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs.
The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow

Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.

Don't let your guard down, folks. Even if they announce the surge is "over", they will keep kidnapping your friends and neighbors. We in Los Angeles know this all too well.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said he hopes Trump border czar Tom Homan announces by Friday that Operation Metro Surge is over. But Walz couched his hopes as dependent on Trump's whims.

Oh. And it also means those who were victims of trafficking, abuse etc. are now harder to find, and find it harder to speak out. Funny how this is getting worse as more Epstein shit comes out eh?

Every study about some form of UBI or economic stimulus for the poor shows that it generates more economic benefit than it requires. The only reason it doesn't become policy is because it lessens the pedophiles' sense of accomplishment for "earning" their spot on the Bestest Boy Money Leaderboard.
