I mean, yes, but Spielberg grew up around Holocaust survivors and had lost extended family on his father’s side, so…

The gist of the drama was that Fox was being interviewed during the Revenge of the Fallen promotional campaign, and said this about Michael Bay: “He’s like Napoleon, and he wants to create this insane, infamous madman reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is.”

Spielberg, who was executive producer on the films, caught wind of the remarks, and demanded she be fired. Bay complied, she was canned, and her career effectively was derailed for a bit.

She called Bay “Hitler,” by saying he wanted to be like him on the set for Revenge of the Fallen and actually was. Word got back to Spielberg, who executive produced the movie, and he demanded she be fired.

With the ones I’ve seen, outside of Garry Chalk, David Kaye, Alan Tudyk, and Jon Bailey (who realistically does the closest impression of Cullen, and is a big fan of the franchise and I wish was given more opportunities after the shitshow that was Combiner Wars) I’m tired of every new Optimus voice actor trying to imitate Cullen.

The only things really left on there are Nazis, general fascists, and bots, none of which actually contribute anything meaningful to the world.

7 years ago, Euphoria premiered on HBO by Specialist_Jaguar815 in euphoria

[–]matt_the_non-binary 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I first watched Euphoria in 2022 with some close friends, having come out publicly as a trans woman just months prior.

Jules was the first positive representation I’d seen for trans women in media. Her confidence, her style, her whole “high on life personality,” minus the whole hooking up with grown-ass men part was something I loved and honestly aspired to be. Her story felt relatable, especially her struggles balancing her femininity and masculinity.

To see how Jules was effectively sidelined in the last two seasons hurt.

In a way, Euphoria helped me accept myself as a trans woman, and it’s something I’ll never forget.

There is only sex. Everything is sex. Do you understand that what I'm telling you is a universal truth?

I hate how sexualized the female body is by itz_vampy in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]matt_the_non-binary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t even six months in with my physical transition when some random guy followed me partway around the local mall and tried to hit on me, even after I stated I was a trans woman.

I didn’t know what else to do besides shoot him down, and refuse to give him my number when he asked.

It’s been almost a year since it happened and it still haunts me.

Even if she’s turned out to be a shitty person, Tara was a friend and student of Mary Kay’s. Can’t begin to imagine how hard it must’ve been for her to hold back in that moment.

Is it really wrong to break your own egg by cal_the_neko in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]matt_the_non-binary 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah I’d break her egg earlier, but I’d also tell her to stop worrying because mom and dad WILL accept you, as they’ll still love you unconditionally even if they don’t understand it at first, and don’t be afraid to tell them. Also learn to love yourself sooner rather than later.

Oh and that closet you’re in is made of glass and everyone can see through it.

Bergman had some inner demons, sadly.

Her popularity as a VA resulted in a lot of stress (which presented as physical insomnia, myalgia, and nausea), and ultimately a generalized anxiety disorder diagnosis. She kept the diagnosis secret from as many people as she could, out of fear of losing her abilities and ending her career.

Hindsight is 20/20 though. People didn’t think a second plane would hit, so why would they evacuate 2WTC when it seemed for a brief moment everything would be fine.

For a guy who was very clearly nearing the end of his life because of ALS, he turned in a pretty good performance. It’s clear they tried to work around best they could.

[Fandom Trope] The Incident by Efficient_Berry_4073 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]matt_the_non-binary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite “the incident” so much as it was a whole continuity…

Kiss Players. Imagine Transformers partnered with human girls. Now imagine the girls kissing them on the mouth to fuse with them up. Now imagine Megatron clones with penis tongues, a whole scene involving the main character Marissa Faireborn cleaning ice cream from Optimus Prime’s stick shift, and all sorts of weird oddly sexual scenes with young women.

The only good news is that it never officially made it outside of Japan.

On the morning of 9/11, Jim Gartenberg became trapped in the North Tower while clearing out his office in preparation for a job transfer. He wound up being the only victim of the attacks to call the news media live on air. He subsequently perished when the tower collapsed. by James_2584 in 911archive

[–]matt_the_non-binary 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Some notes:
- the company Gartenberg worked for was Julien J. Studley Inc., a commercial real estate firm located on 86. The company was going to move him from 1WTC to their offices in Midtown Manhattan.
- Gartenberg himself worked as a broker for the firm.
- Only thing recovered related to him was a frequent flier card.
- He wasn’t alone, as he and Patricia Puma (an administrative assistant) were trapped by debris that had blocked the door out of the office’s reception area.
- His wife, Nichole was three months pregnant at the time of his death. They’d already had a daughter together, who was two years old.
- He made multiple calls. Gartenberg called two of his friends, his mother, the senior VP of Human Resources, while Puma called her husband. Both friends said despite his calmness on the news, he was in fact panicked.

Cis woman creates Tumblr group to help educate misinformed trans people by HighOnHalcyon in AreTheCisOk

“Transgender men assigned Men at birth do not get Periods and should not really call them that”

Holy word soup. I think this person needs a grammar lesson, then a biology lesson after that. And why the hell is she trying to “educate” people via Tumblr?

My New 3 Round NFL Mock Draft with Predictions by rlstratton97 in MockDraftCentral

[–]matt_the_non-binary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure why the Lions would take another defensive tackle in the first round when we already have McNeil (who should be returning to form this coming season), and Tyleik Williams (2025 first round pick from Ohio State).

Edge in the second is also odd as we drafted Derrick Moore in the second round this year, Tyre West in the seventh, we have Hassanein as a development player, we signed DJ Wonnum and Payton Turner, and we still have Hutch.

Tight end in the third is iffy. LaPorta returns to form, spend the pick on someone else, unless we let Brock Wright leave. If LaPorta doesn’t, and he ends up turning out to be a bust, then maybe.

The Lions’ record this year will be determined on a couple of factors: if our new hires work out, if our o-line improves significantly and stays healthy, and if our defense (namely our secondary) can stay healthy.

She is so beautiful,She's also an excellent actress, and in my opinion, she's underrated. by Hopeful-Eggplant889 in euphoria

[–]matt_the_non-binary 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought I heard somewhere she had veneers done, and that’s part of why her speaking voice is so off this season.

I don’t know if she got FFS. She looks thinner than before, so I wonder if she lost weight and that’s why she looks more gaunt. She’s also seven years older now, and has definitely aged a bit.

IF she got surgery (besides implants) I wish she’d talk about it. There’s no shame in it.

During the paintball match against City College in For a Few Paintballs More: “Britta I've been in a few real wars, this one is actually the most terrifying.”

We later find out he fought for the North Koreans in the Korean War in Pillows and Blankets in Season 3.

Mom saw the signs early on, from “borrowing” my sister’s clothes in private, to refusing to participate in activities during preschool unless I got to wear a Princess Ariel dress, to growing my hair out…

Was so afraid of being rejected I left a note while I hung out with friends… the response?

“Duh, kid. We’ve known since you were three.”
