They say dogs and their masters end up resembling each other
Justifiers invade the βpart of town they wantβ, calling the people they are capturing βswineβ, and declaring that βthe women and children are as hated as the menβ. They drag people from their homes, declaring that they βwaiting to do this for yearsβ. Familiar.
The justifiers continue to drag people away, saying they are nothing but animals and declaring themselves justified in ridding the city of these people. As if the point wasnβt clear enough, a justifier then goes on to burning down a library, calling the books within βdecadentβ, and that βyou need know no more than the PROPER thingβ
Like it is uncomfortable in how real this is, and of course as a Jewish man and a WWII veteran, Kirby is able to recognise this behaviour, which was not absent in the years since but an ever-bubbling threat, and indeed *gestures to the world today*
Fascism has a shallow playbook, and so Kirby speaks to past and present with this stuff.

an important reminder that "hacking" rarely involves typing real fast as green text scrolls by and mostly involves asking people for their login info in increasingly sophisticated ways
human psychology is a lot easier to manipulate than code, be very careful with anyone asking for credentials
Mind you Chapter 20, Digital Storytelling, stood out to me as the one that made me go "I didn't KNOW THAT!!" and feels to me like it would definitely resonate with an online audience who wasn't around then.
Hard pick, but purely for standalone value I'd lean towards something from Chapter 4, about the original TFC, as I think it works without the context of needing to know what "Transmasters" or "TMUK" or who any of the people involved are that later chapters talk about so extensively.
The fact that one of the most interesting versions of Captain Hook is probably from the 90's Fox's Peter Pan & The Pirates, is kind of crazy.
HA they went hard with his dialog....man I haven't seen this in 20 years.
Hidden amongst all the off cut footage on the DVD's for Transformers The Movie was a blink and you'll miss it couple of frames of Unicron going BOOMπ£ TFRaw.com

Taking a break from stressing about the problems of the world to focus on a much cheerier topic: the problems at Marvel Comics thecommasplice.com/marvel-comic...
I donβt think Trump and his people are capable of engineering βdistractions,β I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

idk Iβve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesnβt matter if theyβre someoneβs mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet
I see Royal Mail are raising postage prices again in April. This is now basically a bi-annual gouge, with no explanation of why the rises are necessary. Disastrous for small creators and business. Since Royal Mail was privatised in 2013 first class prices have gone from 60p to Β£1.80 per item.
I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.
If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.
Sure, Japan's done a lot of stuff set in the gap. Battle of the Star Gate, Robotmasters, Binaltech, scattered one-off pack-in & web mangas. It's just that little of it is "about" the gap. Like, it's not written to be "the story of what happened in between S2 and the movie," it's just set there.
A reminder in stream chat etiquette that foreshadowing is also spoilers. Someone last night said βget tissuesβ and it instantly gave away what was about to happen taking away the surprise and emotion from the moment. Please have self control and let people experience things π
