I was still in primary school - a Church of England school mind you - and on the coach back to school from going swimming me and my friends collectively had the epiphany that there is no god based on the lack of any tangible evidence in our day to day lives

I know I'm responding to a joke skeet but this shift of ASMR meaning "warm tingling sensation that can be intentionally triggered for relaxation using specific sounds or behaviours" to "videos where someone just doesn't talk while doing something that makes a noise" does my fuuuuucking head in

WAFFLES

I also got the chase figure from Sembo Block's line of CangDao Model blind boxes, White Dragon, who is a lot more colourful than anticipated! The matte sand green plays off the glossy pearl white and this line's iconic gold and trim beautifully - Such a pretty figure!

This is the warning on the blood pressure monitor my dad just got. Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean? Last line is especially ominous

Unearthed my one and only Gundam Universe toy, ✨him✨

I yam de preencess, ✨ Pitch ✨

The guy who probably had a dinner party after tearing down a homeless encampment makes a good point.

I got AOTP Brawl today (likely the only Combaticon I'll be getting) and I love him to pieces 💕

Only real ones know that this is hype

A transformer who starts saying "HENSHIN" instead of "TRANSFORM" while on a mission in Japan, making everybody else a little uncomfortable

A transformer who death drops before transforming

A transformer who spends basically all of their time in vehicle mode, only begrudgingly transforming if they really need to

A Transformer who screams and convulses in agony while transforming but is absolutely fine once done. Never addresses it

A transformer who doesn't make The Noise when they transform so they do it with their mouth instead to fit in. Has been to doctors about it for years, no answers yet

I broke the same arm falling off the same spot of the same climbing frame twice while at primary school. The first time it happened my Mum initially thought I'd just sprained my wrist, so we still went to the circus that evening as previously planned. I was very uncomfortable the whole time.

Another naughty purchase, this time from Sembo Block. This is one of the two chase variants of Takeda Shingen from their first wave of Progenitor Effect blind boxes, done up in a very slick dark metallic navy and gunmetal deco! This first wave also came with additional full-size collector cards.

My sixth and final Sembo Block x Hemoxian Figure is the regular version of Tastier - Again, not quite my cup of tea, but he definitely looks cool and was fun to build. This darker symmetrical deco is much more appealing to me than that of the chase variant, particularly with the cloth parts added.

@safety.bsky.app have you verified that any of the code that underpins Bluesky/Atproto that was generated in part using LLM tools like Claude is at all sturdy and secure? Have you also verified that said code is original enough that Bluesky/Atproto won't be held liable for using it?

It was fine! The job coach I met, who was really nice, was quite impressed with what I was already doing with regards to job hunting, so my agreement was basically to just continue as I am. The suggestion of 35 hours spent doing so a week is just not feasible with my area's job market though...

My fifth Sembo Block x Hemoxian figure is the Baffarion (I think I've spelt that right), which I am really split on - On the one hand, he was super interesting to build and looks freaking amazing, but on the other hand the cumbersome shield and restricted hip joints make him pretty annoying to pose…

Jobcentre this morning... Wish me luck 😬

restaurant manager: hey so, sorry to bother you, but is that a service animal? it's just, we have a policy- jabba the hutt: je wonna wonga, bazda wahota shonga salacious b crumb: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA restaurant manager: ah. ok. cool

How I arrived on Bluesky from Twitter (I will never call it X)

Music guys

Being unemployed kinda sucks don't it

Listened to nothing but 80s/90s belters on my dog walk 🗣️ WHO COULD IT BE NOW 🎷

My fourth Sembo Block x Hemoxian figure is the blue version of Torias, which is the exact same mold as the red version, but thanks to the addition of yellow as a secondary colour and a little bit more printing and paint, it's more than just a straight recolour. Definitely my favourite so far!

Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

Whenever I learn that somebody has integrated LLMs into their workflow my immediate assumption is that they're just not that good at their job, regardless of their job title or what they're doing. I just do not understand how anybody can trust these machines enough to offload their thinking to them.

My third Sembo Block x Hemoxian figure is the red version of Torias, a veeeery Gundam-like machine with a cool asymmetrical design, a huge sword and a nasty optional claw weapon! Sadly the sword doesn't actually click into the backpack, however a little blob of Blu Tack has remedied that issue.

Always funny to see Americans make fun of British place names when half of theirs were nicked from us Like, you have Gorton and Denton too guys, in Massachusetts and Texas 😭

I got my first - and likely only - Cyberworld toy today on a whim and... Hm.

My second Sembo Block x Hemoxian figure is the chase version of Tastier, who I believe is a human-sized robot as opposed to a mecha. Much like Thor he's made up of a LOT of parts, resulting in a detailed and feature filled figure with decent articulation... Aside from a lack of bicep swivels. Oops!

Born to wash my car, forced to drive it and get it dirty again

It happened again

I built my first Sembo Block x Hemoxian figure last night, Thor, and bloody hell was I not expecting him to be similar in complexity to a HG Gunpla kit! That alongside silver-backed clear parts, sharp printing, sturdy joints and a nifty extending hammer made this guy a helluva first impression!

Fellas, is it kinky to masturbate?

My ninth and final Sembo Block x Honor of Kings figure is this very cool gold version of Lu Bu! Much like the silver Zhaoyun, there's a mix of both glossy and painted parts here, although the difference is a bit less dramatic. Lu Bu was one of my favourites from this wave, so this is a nice treat!

My eighth Sembo Block x Honor of Kings figure is the silver version of Zhaoyun! A mix of both glossy and painted parts makes what could've been a fairly drab deco nice and varied. Definitely my favourite of the two versions of this little fella!

"The Smart Brick goes against everything Lego is about! What happened to using your own imagination and making your own sound effects?" When I was little I used to play with my uncle's childhood Lego collection at my Nan and Granddad's house, and I found out that he had this set from 1987.
