Diversity is how we have corpsmen who speak Pashto and Urdu and Farsi and Yemeni Arabic so you know who to bomb.

For anyone curious, this is the in-store treatment Metal Cardbot gets in South Korea at a Toys R' Us. Sure, it doesn't help that the US doesn't have toy stores anymore outside of Walmart and Target's toy aisles and a few specialty stores at the Mall. But we are really getting the bootleg experience.

Reissuing Legacy Crasher because she was hard to find, then short packing the figure is an incredibly Hasbro move.

My small gift to the internet this week is 40+ minutes of high-definition RGB footage of the original Mega Man played from start to finish for use in video projects and such: youtu.be/K3Uw4ETHDuw

Akihiro Ononaka's Gushing Over Magical Girls manga will resume on October 17! The manga went on hiatus in March 2024.

Next time you’re feeling a bit stupid and useless, console yourself with the knowledge that you will never, even on your worst day, be as irredeemably stupid and useless as Google’s AI.

Just to remind folks, this (and the AoE/TLK sword though I'm not sure if that has been re-released) are made using my stolen STL files...

Picked up Mega Ambler for a good price on AliExpress. Overall, he's a fun little toy, if a bit simple (those series one Cardbots are way behind the season two toys). I really like the Wheeljack colours, and that funky ambulance mode is a joy.

#MetalCardbot is about to land in the US! Pre-orders for wave 1 toys will begin Tuesday, October 7th at 1pm EST at www.agabyss.com They are only being sold there at the moment with more online shops to come later. Only through their website, they'll be offering a bonus option for getting them all.

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up – 10/02/25 I laugh at a terrible album by Bauhaus, and for Throwback Thursday I revisit a SOULHEAD album. Favorite videos include izna on Studio CHOOM, Kassa Overall live, and more! g-nitro.com/g-nitros-dai... #Music #MusicVideo #1001Albums

The Welsh Conservatives’ deputy leader has branded Reform UK a 'threat to national security' – but insisted his party would still be prepared to work with them in the Senedd if it meant removing Labour from government

Halfway through season 2 of Metal Cardbots, and as expected it's way above season one (which was still fun!). It's still a kids show, but the Characters gel better, the action is a step up, and the bad guys are given more room to breathe. This fight between Gigantrex and Blue Cop was a highlight:

More like CACK to the POOture, amirite??

The new Metal Cardbot W Heavy Iron just looks better and better with each image released. Absolute stunner of a toy.

2/10. Can't fap to this.

OK Bluesky friends. Use the code “BSTariffRefund” on checkout to save 15%. Let me explain. So, since the new shipping restrictions and tariffs went into effect my sales have fallen off a cliff. And in the last 2 weeks I have received only a single order. (1/5)

RIP Renato Casaro, an Italian artist known for his film posters. He passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

Quote with your first anime Okay, we didn't know it was really called Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, but Battle Of The Planets still technically counts as anime.

Having a try at bringing this over from my Mastodon account for you lovely Bsky people, where I share my new Phone Wallpaper each month. October is here, and autumn is in full swing, so I've chosen an image with a distinctly seasonal flavour by artist "Sakura (39ra)" www.pixiv.net/en/users/337...

Call me a prude if you want to, but I do think it's really weird to use your conference speech to list your favourite wanking euphemisms

Had a bit of a sweat on when I saw there was a Steam sale, but there's not much on there that I haven't already picked up for cheap already from CD Keys, Eneba and the like. Only picked up Doom Eternal and Hades, but I may grab Europa before the sale ends.

Finished Summer Pockets. I'm sure I'll ruffle a few feathers here, but apart from a couple of stories it just didn't gel with me. Because of this, it just didn't seem to ever want to finish, and totally outstayed it's welcome. No shade to anyone that loved the show, it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Delegates arriving in Liverpool for Labour conference this week will be greeted by the message: “Just tax billionaires you absolute numpty.” The billboard on St Anne Street has been unveiled by campaign group Everyone Hates Elon to demand "Labour finally commits to fair taxation of the super rich."

Look at this guy all carded up! Oof.

'out of the three mass shootings today'

Studio Bind really pulled out all the stops for the last little segment of Ruri rocks. Nothing too flashy, but lots of movement and expression on Ruri and Nagi made this a gorgeous little end sequence to a fun show.

@madeley.bsky.social when it turns out Wales is a world leader... in politicians taking Russian bribes. And the BBC are ignoring it.

If you want one, I got him from here: www.tommyparkstore.com/product/craz... Their upcoming KO of Black Zarak is now firmly on my radar.

I'm totally keeping this for my vintage original.

Opinions incoming, but first impressions are good.

Labour voters overwhelmingly cite Brexit as the number one cause of our current difficulties, with 69% naming the decision to leave the EU as the main reason behind the country’s problems. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Almost finished season 1 of MCB, and it's not terrible. It's a kids show through and through, but as the character roster grows, the show really improves (especially when Black Hook and his daft crew show up). The 10 minute episodes clip along at a good pace, and I'm down to see how season 2 fares.

I mean, come on

Cool! Metal Cardbot W is adding a Blackbird to the roster!

Imma say it. That's a bit guff.

🚨 BREAKING: The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty to #bribery, admitting he received corrupt payments as a Brexit Party MEP in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.
