🌿 Did you know? In the early 1970s, Congress passed three of our most important environmental laws—the National Environmental Protection Act, Clean Air Act, and Endangered Species Act—with overwhelming bipartisan support.

💧 The Clean Water Act faced a tougher path to passage. President Nixon vetoed it—but public support was so strong, Congress overrode the veto the very next day!

🤔 Why did these landmark laws have such strong bipartisan support back then?

🔥In the late ’60s and early ’70s, the environment was in crisis—rivers burned, oil spills made headlines, and smog filled the air. Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) had helped spark a national movement, and public pressure pushed lawmakers from both parties to act, protecting our air, water, and wildlife.

🌎 Today, we’re facing a new kind of crisis—these and other essential environmental laws that for decades have protected our health, communities, and wildlife are under attack.

📢 But if this history teaches us anything, it’s this: our voices are our power—and when we speak up together, we can have an impact!

 ✊ Now, more than ever, your voice is needed! This Earth Month, join us in urging Congress to protect our essential environmental laws! Click here to take action today!

Had the thought of what if Manfred really just pantomimes normally, but because The Lighthouse is in the Fade, he can while they’re in there?

Bionicle: Masks of Power - Matoric Conlang Dialogue Files

As you may have seen, it's now been publicly announced that LEGO has asked for the Bionicle: Masks of Power fan game by Team Kanohi to be shut down.

You can read the announcement letter from Team Kanohi here, and also view a walkthrough of the game demo on YouTube, with and without dev commentary. The demo would have been released on 8/10 of this year.

As I've posted about before, the game was slated to feature fully voice-acted lines in the Matoran Language conlang ("Matoric"), and I've been contributing Matoric line translations for this purpose for a few years now. This work amounted to nearly 800 individual lines of Matoric dialogue translated.

Needless to say, this was a very disappointing thing to experience behind the scenes, after the amount of work that Team Kanohi had put into the game, and (in my opinion) it's an extremely poor repayment from LEGO for the enthusiasm that the team has created in the Bionicle fandom over the years, although not unexpected or shocking on LEGO's part.

With that said, there is some solace to be found in the fact that many resources from the game, including 3D models, music, art, and other development materials, have been preserved by the team (for the time being) via Google Drive. This includes all of the individually recorded voice-actor lines in Matoric!

Here is a link to the full Google Drive.

Here is a link to the folder containing the Matoric line recordings.

Here is a link to a spreadsheet containing all of the written Matoric lines and their English translations (along with a few fun easter eggs).

Finally, here are the credits for the audio directors and individual voice actors whose excellent work was represented in the game:

I was honored to be able to contribute to this project in a small way, and I hope that the Bionicle community will continue to support the team as it rebrands and moves on to future projects.
