When do we get our Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones figure?

Trying to come up with a name for a fictional foundation and EVERY SINGLE IDEA HAS BEEN TAKEN ALREADY by real-world foundations

As Trump attends tonight's Knicks game, here's an article from 1973, the last time the Knicks won the championship. "At the corporation's main office [...] Donald Trump, president, denied the charges. 'They are absolutely ridiculous,' he said. 'We have never discriminated, and we never would.'"

For some reason I like tableaus where He-Man is chained up. I refuse to interrogate this corner of my psyche any further.

WTF the Bears are moving to Indiana?!?

Victoria Justice honors Pride Month by saying “you’re gay” in different tones of voice.

4) Bad middle manager incentives. What do these four men and women have in common? They caused huge problems for their employers or even destroyed them because they weren't satisfied with normal career progression mechanisms

I don't want to jinx anything until it arrives, but I may have just scored a Holy Grail I didn't even know existed for an insane price.

For what it's worth, the new Masters of the Universe movie is explicity themed around this idea (well, except the facial hair).

This is a weird turn from Activia

I was never that worried about Masters of the Universe - I trust Travis Knight - but I saw it tonight and it was a blast. Such a love letter to the fans while still being a blast.

I work in the libraries of a major Ivy League college. About ten years ago, we were asked to create an orientation for all the student workers to go through before they start working in any library. 1/4

Merge two movies: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford v Ferrari

"STARSCREEEEEEEEAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMYYYYEEAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH"

This Elric of Melniboné from Savage Crucible is awesome! @savagecrucible #actionfigures #elricofmelniboné

Something tells me GI joe Classified Action Man is gonna be Xenus' favorite figure.

The political side of Bluesky is getting a bit messy I think, but I will say that the non-political side of Bluesky is getting better and starting to feel actually fun and friendly, like the old days of the current hellsite.

Okay, the full-court press in marketing the MOTU movie is impressive at this point.

This has to be the darkest official promotional image Hasbro ever released.

Today I learned that climate change is making clear air turbulence significantly worse, so, good to know my two biggest fears in life are now working together

How I always feel about these "Trump looks sick" posts

”Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom” - okay let’s have more of that. I know around here Ossoff is an obvious presidential contender but I think for the average American he could prove to be another Bill-Clinton-out-of-nowhere deal.

The MST3K ep "Devil Fish" has one of my favorite monologues of all time, an absolute hash of scientific misinformation. A speaker flips through slides and says the following:

I see Hasbro has repealed its (unofficial) ban on hood-wearing Cobra Commander. I appreciate the KKK-related concerns they had about it, but as someone who's liberal AF, I do think this is the sort of thing that hurts the cause more than anything.

Incredible

What on earth

the fuck what now futurism.com/science-ener...

Here's the aforementioned Deathstalker (2025) theme.

The new MOTU movie has an '80s-style heavy metal theme song by the Darkness. Love this trend! (Deathstalker 2025 also has a banger of a theme)

Shoutout to @bossfightstudio.bsky.social for sending over production samples of their now-on-preorder Garfield's Halloween Adventure figures, which are indeed awesome, ridiculously posable, and actually a bit bigger than I expected when the news dropped. Paws up! candy candy candy candy candy

Again: if you assume the court is weighing every decision from the perspective of "Will this help or hurt the GOP in the 2026 midterms" you can predict every related ruling like this. Even the delay on the abortion pill ban is simply to prevent a furor before the midterms.

It’s interesting to remember how much one is still maturing even in one’s college years. My first year I staffed a library desk and lived in terror of the phone ringing and having to assist patrons. Now I have to remind myself to announce the office name instead of just saying, ”Yeah what?”

I tried to go on Discord to engage in some toy collecting discussion and just holy hell I am evidently too old for Discord. Utterly baffling experience. (I'm just about as old as Star Wars for reference.)

Masters of the Universe 2026 is a movie made for any '80s kid who ever lost their toys and found them again, after years of trying to explain the appeal to people who just didn't get it, or want to. My review: lytrules.substack.com/p/masters-of...

Fuck it, if the backrooms don't exist we'll build them

I'm emotionally overwhelmed by #MastersOfTheUniverse - At times it feels like this movie was made very specifically for me. Not perfect, but makes bold choices and threads a very difficult tonal needle with ease. The power returns!

Mike Nelson and his robot pals are caught in the same old place Mike and the Bots: together again. Take a look. youtu.be/Vv5VCXxicPw

Welcome to Pride Month!

Ah, so if we’re mad about everything he’s done we should blame Vivian? Look what they made him do? This guy can’t fuck himself enough, it’s physically impossible

One dog did this in two minutes. Original post

I suspect the tracking on Masters of the Universe will prove more or less correct and it won't set the box office on fire, but given Knight's track record, I also suspect it will be a surprisingly good movie and very satisfying for franchise fans.

It feels like Hellboy doesn't have much of a pop cultural footprint these days (the last two movies have been pretty bad and the recent videogame was very mid as well), but the action figures sure seem to sell very well.

I'll never forget when my high school friends and I all started using AIM just as we all graduated and went our separate ways, and everyone decided to use the distance provided by online communication to deal with the psychological pain by destroying each other
