The world of Plunderlings keeps expanding and I'm absolutely loving it. 2 figures from the new Plunderbeaks branch as gorgeous and fun as the previous figures.

Big thank you to my local comic shop @dmcomics.bsky.social for hooking me up with Boba Fett no. 575. Took the opportunity to clean out my pull folder as well. Lots of GIJoe and Transformers.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Every year leading up to my Top 10 I revisit the figures that are eligible for consideration. First up is every Jada Toys Street Fighter 2 figure released in 2025 that I purchased. Still a fantastic line of figures but not my top priority. I'll grab the rest as I see them along the way.

It’s been brutal the past month but I want to take a moment and compliment @danlarson.bsky.social and @secretgalaxy.bsky.social on the lighting of their latest episode. It’s just really good. There is clearly attention to detail to how things are lit.

If I had been in college and generative AI could have let me turn a photo or a drawing into a Gustave Dore-style woodcut (something I really wanted to do), I would've used it in a heartbeat, and I never would have learned to define form using cross-contour lines.

In short, using AI in your writing is among the dumbest things you can do as a writer as it exposes you to potential legal action while affording you zero legal protections. AI is a nightmare box for idiots. Don't fall into the trap of shortcutting your writing career.

I grew up on a steady diet of Bloom County and Outland, so this is gonna be a must watch

Guess I'll post this again

Thanks to @danlarson.bsky.social and @mikekaess.bsky.social I pay more attention to blow molds than I ever have before.

Follow up on last repost. Those with money and power want to kill empathy so consumers no longer value the time and effort invested to deliver a message. So you won't care about the medium or the speaker, only the message. Then they can feed you any message they want to any way they want to.

Please read this whole thread about empathy and work and AI. It's friggin' fantastic.

Again going to bang my drum: *Even if* gen AI excelled at tasks *Even if* gen AI had abuse-guardrails *Even if* gen AI helped the environment & medicine It’s still built on scraping the world’s creative labour without consent. Gen AI is poisoned at the root.

I wouldn’t expect SNL to know that a shitty, rushed photoshop will always be infinitely more funny than an AI image.

It was exactly the kind of video I needed to make when we made it.

Another hit from @secretgalaxy.bsky.social. I am hereby requesting @danlarson.bsky.social do an entire run on the Satanic Panic of the 1980s. --> youtu.be/BZnViUPKI6w

....**TWO** movies?!?

Still makes me laugh. youtu.be/ay-Om_iEfQs?...

Thread.

Closer look

The year is running low on Sundays! Funnies away!

Under end stage capitalism, art is the only thing keeping us sane and serves as a fragile connection to our shared humanity. That's why neoliberals and fascists are so desperate to destroy it with garbage like AI. They've already enshittified and commodified most forms of interaction and culture.

This week's @secretgalaxy.bsky.social is on the animated Dungeons & Dragons series. Watch and be converted to Satanism! youtu.be/BZnViUPKI6w?...

The funny thing about the $1000 Robosen Soundwave is that it could not be further away from where I am as a collector and fan of Soundwave. I have added *5* Soundwaves figures to my collection this year. The most expensive one was $45 and NONE of them transform.

I can't believe they actually got Frank Welker to do the voice. (I can absolutely believe it).

I think, more than ever, these words from Mr. Rogers hold as true as the day he spoke them.

Thanks for having my back on "cynicism" spellcheck. I owe you one.

This is from March. The systems may be better by now, but if Grok is any indication they may be getting worse. The compulsory chatbot Microsoft is including with their latest OS will, if you ask it 5 questions, tell you 2 lies. I am not touching Windows 11 with a barge pole.

Looks like Toucan Sam got Toucan'd.

If The AI Bubble Bursts, Working Families Will Pay The Price Which Will Also Happen if the AI Bubble Doesn't Burst

Marvel Legends Secret Wars Iceman in these pics is standing on a Marvel Select Iceman base for those who aren't familiar. With the effects included with the Legends figure it's a perfect display. And... Who would have ever thought we'd have 2 characters from Crystar? What a time to be a collector.

The most translucent day of the year!

Using genAI alienates you from everyone else. It doesn't democratize art, it atomizes it. No genAI user is gonna get an outpouring of sincere support from others because even they themselves don't give a fuck about what they're making.

Turns out it IS hard to be creative without a space where you can work undisturbed, while being pulled in about fifty different directions by other responsibilities, the needs of others, and general household drudgery, and at the mercy of a very fragile income stream

Marvel Legends Phantom Rider (Ghost Rider).

So IG & TT are full of Gen X/Millenials lamenting all the STUFF that dying-off Boomers are leaving them to deal with… Just saying… SORT THAT SHIT before calling in the dumpster.. you NEVER KNOW!

Without exaggerating, completely unbiased... One of the best videos we've ever made.
