Prowl: "Striking a superior officer. Smart."

Ironhide: "Yep."

Prowl: "I don't suppose you're about to apologize."

Ironhide: "Nope."

Prowl: "Care to take this outside?"

Haha same! As much as I love writing Jazzprowl and Sunnyblue, all these asks about Smokescreen have made me realise how I too have been overlooking the often ignored middle Datsun brother lol. Which is a shame because I do think he is a really interesting character!

I've come across Smokescreen x Ricochet as a side pairing a lot in fics which I don't mind.

I saw a fic once where Smokescreen and Bluestreak were twins dating Sideswipe and Sunstreaker respectively. And in that fic Prowl and Barricade were also twins, with Prowl dating Jazz and Barricade dating Ricochet. Which was a fun concept lol!

However my favourite Smokescreen ship has got to be Devscreen!

As I mentioned in one of my previous asks, I like to headcanon Smokescreen as the stereotypically overlooked middle brother between Prowl and Bluestreak. And I think part of what appeals to Smokescreen about Devcon, (aside from the fact that he is a bounty hunter bad boy with a spark of gold) is that Devcon is seperate from the Autobots so he doesn't see Smokescreen as a screw up or the Datsuns less middle brother, Devcon just sees him as his own person. So Smokescreen is able to share more of himself with Devcon than he would with the other Autobots who he isn't as close too as he tends to hide behind a layer of charm and swindle them out of their shanix. And whilst Devcon might see Smokescreen as a bit full of hot air at first, he quickly comes around, being impressed with Smokescreen's quick thinking and ability to act under pressure whilst undercover. I think there's also the conflict there too in that Devcon maybe offers for Smokescreen to join him as a bounty hunter but Smokescreen can't leave his brothers or duty to the Autobot. Devcon might not fully understand that as he'd rather have the freedom to be in charge of his own destiny, but he does respect Smokescreen's decision. So whilst they want to be together, ultimately they can't. 😭

Bumblebee has a hard time since his Volkswagen can't keep up with Hounds jeep and brings up Ratchet again, which I always find cute (he can do that???)

Jazz is lucky he doesn't have a tailbone to break

This scene was cut, which is a shame because it's just really cute, look at their tiny faces!!!

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

I explained very clearly to the manager my issue with the meat section not having the price tags listed, and they claimed it was only going to be for the meat, since meat is by weight, and the price of each item is printed on the packs of each item.

Sure. That’s how they get their foot in the door. Fast forward not even two weeks, and here we are:

Bar codes. No prices, no item descriptions. No price stickers on the individual items. Heck, not even the name of the item that is SUPPOSED to be there.

No. The only way to see the price is to scan it on your phone app, which is also recording what you looked at recently, as a way of gauging what you might be looking for in the future.

So here’s what we’re gonna do gang:

Every time you go into a store that has implemented these price-less tags:

Take 1-3 items up to the cash register. Ask the cashier for the price, or hit the price check item on the self checkout, which will likely call over the attendant.

Express that you didn’t actually want it, you just couldn’t see on the shelf how much it was.

POLITELY, AND WITH A THANK YOU FOR THE PRICE CONFIRMATION, Give the items to the cashier or attendant to put back.

When they inevitably try to push the app, politely decline. If pressed for why not, say you don’t want to have to carry your phone in-hand the whole time you are shopping in order to see how much things cost. (Not having cell service or data to use the app is NOT a valid excuse, as stores already often have complimentary WiFi AND more stores will provide WiFi rather than give up on this push for surveillance pricing)

If it’s a shelf-stable item, the cashier will have to set it aside, taking up room in their limited operating space, and eventually pass it off to someone to put in a holding area to put back later. If it’s a fridge/freezer item, it might have to get tossed due to food product sale regulations.

In either case, you are making it a pain in the ass for them to have these digital bar codes. Tie up the checkouts. Give the employees more busywork that the company has to pay them to do. Hurt their bottom line having to toss the pint of ice cream you carried around in your cart for 20 minutes before giving it back to the cashier.
