Going to the Transformers 40th theater event tonight! The original “More Than Meets the Eye” multi-parter is a big comfort-watch episode for me, so I’m really looking forward to this! Not sure if they’re going to have the special cup and bucket at my theater, but if they do and it’s $20 like I’ve heard, I might have to indulge. #Transformers#Transformers40#RetroCartoons
@CactuarJoe@trixter it’s not very bright right now in northern Illinois, but it’s true that the camera phone can capture the colors of the #aurora better than my naked eye could.
Been actually properly watching GaoGaiGar while doing exercise bike cardio lately and I fucking love this show, you’ll have the Leader and the Science Guy discussing this astounding new weapon that may be too powerful for GaoGaiGar to wield without great peril and it’s literally a mecha-scale squeaky hammer.
@DrakkenZero@trixter@teknomagic This should have been a trope. I can’t think of a single mecha anime that wouldn’t be improved by someone wielding a giant squeaky hammer.
@JeremyMallin But that would imply the First Directive was non-prime (also non-composite), which is a paradox. Which is probably how Kirk skated through all those court martials over the years.
@x00001 Just read the article, please. The headline is just a statement of fact. Nobody’s talking about penalizing anyone for anything.
"Compared to the amount of wages being paid to an employee over a course of a year, it is very small…. It's not going to show up in any type of macroeconomic data."
Hey #writing friends: Can anyone recommend a decent basic text/rtf editor for iOS? I've been writing a lot on my phone lately and Notes just isn't cutting it. Minimal data scraping is ideal, and I don't mind paying a little if needed. #iOS
Poor Clara. she traded her cute, sweet, funny, playful Doctor for one that was grumpy, cranky, cynical and never smiled. and who initially didn’t know how to fly the tardis or who she was. and somehow that one episode, it was somehow painted some sort of failing of hers. 🤦♀️ #DoctorWho
@splott I think Vastra was trying to say to Clara that, no, this is the same Doctor — you’re just seeing who he really is instead of who he wants you to see, and it’s on you to accept that. Which, I admit, I can relate to just a bit.
@splott Opinions differ, of course. I found Peter Capaldi to be the most personally relatable Doctor yet for precisely the same reasons you dislike him.
@splott Hartnell was always portrayed as a warm grandfather. Pertwee was… well, the wiki calls him “authoritative,” which sounds fairly accurate, and Colin Baker was definitely arrogant.
If I had to describe Capaldi’s Doctor in one word, it would be “cranky”, but my second word would probably be “tired”.
