Tech CEOs are the only people on Earth who wouldn't resent reporting to an AI instead of a human. Corporations are seriously underestimating the visceral response humans will have to reporting to an AI manager. There's a reason we haven't gone pilot-less for passenger flights even thought we could.

Has there ever been a good, fully-articulated action figure of Link as he looked in the original Zelda? Or even Zelda II? There are all the Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword and BOTK figures, but I just want a basic classic Link.

How I block somebody:

Devastated to hear of @williambwest.bsky.social's passing this weekend. He had a stroke a couple of months ago and never recovered. I always enjoyed my interactions with him - he was smart, funny, and a true lover of all things geeky. He was far, far too young.

Plastic Meatball's wave 2 of Labyrinth figures are up! I'm so excited a company is making more characters than just Jareth (though I'd take all of those I can get, of course.) Ludo is coming later this year. plasticmeatball.com/collections/...

I do believe there is such a thing as good art and bad art. But I also believe there should be a museum of toy packaging and marketing art so I can stand in front of this Masters of the Universe poster by Earl Norem and talk about its composition like it's The School of Athens

He-Man has the magical power sword, and Lion-O has the fabled sword of omens. Leonardo? Two katanas that Splinter probably stole from a flea market in Jersey.

I may be the last to review the new #StarWars cartoon #MaulShadowLord, but in the end, probably the best. Go read it now. lytrules.substack.com/p/maul-shado...

The terrifying 1964 animated adaptation of The Hangman by Maurice Ogden

Harvard Yard in spring this morning

Looks like PAM (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) didn't stick

Okay, I'm gonna say this louder for the folks in back: Drop-down hips on action figures are USELESS unless there is upward ankle movement. The whole point is to allow a squatting position. I'm looking at you, Chronicles Scare-Glow.

For anyone newly excited by the Artemis II or in particular its recent toilet problem, I highly recommend Mary Roach’s Packing for Mars.

The kiddo, quite convincingly upset: “Mom, Dad, come quick! The toilet is smoking!” The toilet:

Why don’t we launch from, like, the desert near LA instead of a place known for being predisposed to hurricanes

Looking at this Captcha asking me what 13-11 is and feeling like basic math is the bare minimum of what I'd expect a bot to be capable of doing

So Spielberg took Abed's unsuccessful attempt to prank Troy and made it into a movie #disclosureday

Costco's new 10 pound giant chocolate bunny is so big it has instructions stating it should be smashed with a hammer It contains a total of 22,650 calories

Texted this to a friend today: “As a manager myself, I've had to learn that even when the office is threatened by a promethean crystalline entity one always has to take the time to ensure one's staff are being treated equitably.”

I would like to know how, precisely, the decision was made not to import the Diaclone "piloted mech" concept when the Transformers brand was created. It's not exactly intuitive to say "let's say these are sentient alien robots who take on the form of native vehicles."

A Fisto and Ram-Man two-pack? Where’s Reverend Rose when you need him

I backed this - they seem cool.

It's so irritating I can't visit my own website (www.poeghostal.com) on my employer's VPN because it thinks it's evil or something.

Small indie theaters are about to get a big renaissance

I hate Amazon generally but do like that they just YOLO'ed this shit

Apropos of nothing (and not soon enough, it goes without saying, even if it happens five minutes from now)

Post old memes to confuse young people.

It’s not a snow day without an Empire Strikes Back toy

Terrific Father's Day gift idea

Okay so is this real or not

The Rundown remains, in my opinion, one of the best Dwayne Johnson movies, an incredible Walken movie, and an all-around underrated classic.

*TRUMP’S GLOBAL TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN BY US SUPREME COURT

Wait there’s a real Ohio GOP mayor named Wesley R. Dingus? *and* he‘s been accused of sniffing an underage relative’s unmentionables? Stranger than fiction good lord

Okay, these Newbee NB-02 articulated Devastator hands are fantastic. Highly recommended. #transformers #hasbro

So the NYT published an entire article that can be summed up by the first two words of the headline. It drives me insane how the social media era is defined by massive amplification and sanewashing of the views of tiny percentages of the population.
