My new solution to everything.

I remembered people acting like Orion Pax saying dumb things that accidentally offended Megatron..... But when I looked at this panel again, I saw a fucking gaslight mean bitch who twisted his friend's words and acted like he was offended by his friend.

Transformers IDW 2019 Continuity - a retrospective

The first Transformers continuity created by IDW comics is regarded by many as the best Transformer comics that have ever been made.  Kicking off in 2005, it ran for an impressive 13 years with hundreds of issues and took the G1’esque universe to places it had never been before, culminating in a climatic battle against Unicron himself. In 2019 IDW rebooted the Transformers comic universe and it…

Man, fuck cancer.

I lost one of my players to it last week. I met Jacquie through our City of Heroes supergroup where she was Luna Red in 2008 and in 2010 we heard the CoH devs were doing a thing at PAX East in Boston. "Hey, I'm from Boston!" so myself, Jacquie and Stan met up at the Hub to see it. We met up for the next few PAX Easts, even after CoH died.

Stan was the one who ended up introducing Jacquie to Mike, at a Transformers convention of all things. They got married a few years later, and she eventually became a special education teacher focusing on music. Through her, Mike eventually decided to quit his job in sales and become a social worker.

When the Pandemic hit, I hadn't really talked much to Stan or Jacquie in a few years. We were still friends, just, y'know, busy. But we were all locked inside in April 2019 with nothing better to do, so fuck it, let's play D&D.

For nearly four years Jacquie, Mike, Stan, Katie, and Will met every week over Discord for more of my rambling story from level 3 to level 17 as they battled murder hornets, robot revolutionaries, an overlord of death (they were piloting a 10,000 year old colossus), the Jabberwock, conversed with a giant spider, talked the robot revolutionary to change sides, threw a concert alongside a shapeshifting bard-assassin warforged who always greeted Jacquie's bard with "HEY GIRLFRIEND! :D" and turned into a giant eagle to bypass my plans on at least three occasions.

During 2020-2021 we found out Jacquie had cancer. Lymphoma. They did a hard reboot on her immune system using hard radiation and stem cells that sounded like something out of science fiction. We thought she had it beat.

Last fall, it came back. Hard. She fought it with everything she had, and Mike - a kind and sensitive man who had fallen for this vivacious, warm-hearted woman - was with her the whole time.

We lost Jacquie on Friday. She was 39 years old. I'm still processing it.

There's plenty more I could say, but it's not important.

I miss my friend.

I don’t consider myself even Gundam-adjacent but in light of recent developments, this Austin Walker clip from Giant Bomb’s PAX East 2019 panel has been bouncing around in my head, so

[halenhusky309]

I know people shit on Orion Pax being the Senator in Transformers IDW (2019), but boi, I actually like him a lot. He had that uncertainty and awkwardness to him, as he tried to do his best to save Cybertron from falling into chaos. And the fact that he sent Bumblebee to spy on Megatron and the Ascenticon (While saying sorry to Codexa for his next courses action) because he didn't trust his sketchy ass "friend" Megatron and his faction (He's so right about that) really made me giddy about him, like yay, baby girl is willing to do some sketchy shits to find the answers.

I do find it's quite funny to see he keep "accidentally" offending Megatron for seemingly saying the wrong things, but then again, when we saw Megatron's tie to the Rise, damn like, Orion Pax ironically was spitting facts into Megatron's face (Like girl, sit your fake-ass down, you don't get to be offended)

Ecocide in Gaza: The environmental impact of Israel's war

In-depth: Bombed fields, destroyed greenhouses, and soil contaminated with white phosphorus. In Gaza, the environment is a silent victim of Israel's war.

"The environment is not just collateral damage, but a target of the Israeli army," Lucia Rebolino, co-author of a study by Forensic Architecture, a collective that works with open-source satellite data, tells The New Arab. Israeli bulldozers have razed fields and orchards to clear a buffer zone more than 300 meters deep along the northern border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, she says. "The army builds dikes and mounds of earth to protect its tanks and clear the view." The figures in her study speak for themselves: of the 170 km2 of farmland that existed in Gaza before the war - half the territory - a total of 40% has been destroyed. Two thousand agricultural buildings have also been razed in Gaza – including 90% of all greenhouses in the northern districts. By targeting agricultural fields, Israel is attacking an important part of the Gazan economy and ecosystems. A joint study by the UN, the World Bank, and the European Union (EU) estimates the damage to agriculture at $629 million. Combined with the destruction of natural areas, waste treatment infrastructure, and debris removal, this amounts to over $1.5 billion - not even counting environmental restoration and reconstruction costs.

Israel's military infrastructure

According to Rebolino, this destruction is an integral part of an asserted Israeli strategy, particularly around the border buffer zone, over the last ten years. "We regularly observed Israeli planes dropping herbicides on border agricultural areas at the beginning and end of the harvest seasons from 2014 to 2019, taking advantage of favourable winds to hit the maximum surface area," she says. Forensic Architecture has published several reports on this "herbicidal war", which has forced many farmers to leave their land. Further south, investigators from the media group Bellingcat claim that around 1,740 hectares of land have been cleared where the Israeli army has built a new road, called Route 749. Also known as the ‘Netzarim Corridor’, this no-man's-land is being used to transport troops and to divide the north of the Gaza Strip from the south.

[...]

Significant water, air, and soil pollution

From the sky to the sea, from the earth to the groundwater, Gaza has been contaminated for many years, even generations, experts say. The greenhouse gas emissions generated during the first two months of the war in Gaza were greater than the annual carbon footprint of more than 20 of the world's most climate-vulnerable nations, according to a British-American study. It estimates that the climate cost of the first 60 days of Israel's war is equivalent to burning at least 150,000 tons of coal. The UN further stated that Israeli bombardments have created 37 million tons of debris. "That's more than the whole of Ukraine in two years," points out Wim Zwijnenburg, a researcher on the effects of conflict on the environment at PAX, a Dutch organisation that has documented, and denounced, how Israel’s war is making Gaza uninhabitable.

[...]

"The destruction of land is a systematic genocidal practice in the same way as the destruction of food production, schools, and hospitals, which is well documented in situ," says Lucia Rebolino of Forensic Architecture.

What I think of Yōsei Teikoku and their music.

All about Yōsei Teikoku

Yōsei Teikoku (Japanese: 妖精帝國, German: Das Feenreich; lit. 'Fairy Empire') is a Japanese rock band formed in 1997.

Their music mixes elements of gothic metal, heavy metal, electronic and classical music.

Their works include the opening tracks of several anime series, including Mirai Nikki, Magical Pokan, Innocent Venus, Kurokami: The Animation, The Qwaser of Stigmata, Big Order, and the Tokyo ESP soundtrack.

After releasing several independent albums, the band released seven major-label albums with their current label Lantis: Gothic Lolita Propaganda, Metanoia, Gothic Lolita Doctrine, Gothic Lolita Agitator, Pax Vesania, Shadow Corps(e) and The Age of Villains.

Yōsei Teikoku is led by vocalist Yui, whose official title is 'Dictator for Life.'

She bestows honorary titles on the band members as part of the Fairy Empire.

Members of Yōsei Teikoku

Current

Dictator for Life Yui (終身独裁官ゆい) – vocals, chorus, and lyrics (1997–present)

Warrant Officer Nanami – bass guitar (2009–present)

Sergeant Gight – drums (2013–present)

Corporal XiVa – guitar (2019–present)

Corporal ryöga – guitar (2019–present)

Former

Corporal Relu – drums (2009–2013)

Master Sergeant Shiren (紫煉) – lead guitar (2013–2019)

Captain Takaha Tachibana (橘 尭葉) – guitar, keyboards, composition, arrangement, and lyrics (1997–2019)

Prior to 2009, Yui and Tachibana were the group's only official members.

Nanami and Relu were made official members that year.

Shiren and Gight joined the band in 2013 at the same time as Relu's departure.

Shiren resigned from the band, and XiVa was announced as the new guitarist in January 2019.

In June 2019, Tachibana announced that he would withdraw from future live performances with the band at the end of the month, but would continue to write songs for the band. 

Guitarist ryöga was announced as his onstage replacement, joining the band at the rank of corporal.

DISORDER

What do I think of Yōsei Teikoku and their music?

I think Yōsei Teikoku's music resonates deeply with those who appreciate gothic metal, thanks to their unique fusion of heavy riffs and ethereal melodies.

The blend of fantasy and darkness in their lyrics invites listeners into a captivating world, making each song an immersive experience.

Yui's enchanting voice adds a layer of emotion, making their tracks memorable and impactful.

Their visual aesthetics complement their music perfectly, creating a full sensory experience that fans adore.

Overall, Yōsei Teikoku stands out as a remarkable band in the gothic metal scene, and their contribution to the genre is truly commendable.
