The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

one problem with learning is it will make you so angry at how stupid everything is

This is me selfishly hoping this means more focus on Power Rangers. 😇 C'mon, Playmates - start cranking out those Evil Space Alien figures at a dizzying rate! Please. 🥺

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

today i was surprised to find a hole in my bread. But not nearly as surprised as the bread

Spotted on ebay from an Australian retailer - Baboo from Playmates' Mighty Morphin #PowerRangers Re-Ignition toy line! Is he on your wish list? Or is he a pass?

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

I love seeing random lots of #PowerRangers toys on ebay and wondering how on Earth a particular combination of figures spanning three decades could ever occur.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

I photographed tonight’s Thanksgiving Snowstorm in Cleveland, Ohio and this is what I got

Lightspeed Rescue’s Titanium Morpher from Bandai — a 100% screen accurate toy, unmodified on-screen. Exhibit sponsored by Patreon Supporters like @johnpgreen.com of GrnRngr.com. #MorphinMuseum Exhibit 0921 ⚡️ Series: #PowerRangers Lightspeed Rescue Episode: From Deep in the Shadows Year: 2000

It is 2025, and I'm still discovering semi-obscure Disney-era Bandai America releases that weren't previously cataloged.

Ahem.

I have decided: I don't need to know that the shipping label was created. Keep me in the dark on that. Come back to me when something real is happening

The year is 2025. It has been 764 days since the last new episode of Power Rangers premiered. And I just returned from a Walmart with a fully-stocked Power Rangers section with a sight never before seen - a full, dedicated peg of Rita Repulsa action figures. Crazy 🤯

The Power Rangers channel on Roku Live TV is airing Halloween episodes today (some Halloween-adjacent and some really not). Trick-or-Treaters managed to time their arrival with the zord battle in “Life’s a Masquerade”, but I did get to see most of the Zyu2 footage in “Trick or Treat”. 🎃

If no Super Sentai airs next year and Bandai maintains the toy license, I think it would only be fitting that they release Auto-Morphin figures that somewhat resembles the suits of the last series aired by their overseas counterparts (PRCF). Naturally, the human faces would be the Gorenger.

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

I do not understand why television stations are not showing live coverage of how there is literally nothing happening in Portland and Chicago. I mean, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw would each be sitting on a set in those cities telling everyone the white house is lying.

There are many reasons why I miss the Bandai-era of #PowerRangers toys, but the top reason is easily the familiarity, which meant predictability. With Playmates (and to a lesser extent, Hasbro before them), it's hard to believe my own eyes when what I'm seeing defies the established playbook/logic.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Thanks to many generous people, the Memorial Fund for @liladam87.bsky.social is almost at the halfway point for the family's goal. spot.fund/v969g7fdc

(solemnly) You've had mail.

This whole section really.

A month later, and nothing. ☹️ Focus seems to be on the Memorial Edition changers, which they are really cranking through lately.

Rest in Peace @liladam87.bsky.social. The world lost a great man. #ILovePowerRangers obits.jmurphyfh.com/adam-ramusie...

Lots of good bits in this one, esp. re: the realities behind any action figure line. Those who would benefit from hearing these things likely won't (or won't let themselves) listen. Extra poignant as I recently lost a collector friend who *got* it, and I will miss discussing this stuff with him. 🫤

Update: As of last night @liladam87.bsky.social was taken off life support. Because he was such a giving and kind person in life, his generosity carries on. He was an organ donor and his organs will go to those that need it. RIP my friend. #ILovePowerRangers

There's no shame in being wrong about something. There is shame in choosing to be wrong.

Hasbro's standard six-inch figures are now priced at $27.99. It's definitely becoming easier and easier to leave the #LightningCollection in the rear view mirror...

what the hell is going on

Toy collecting tip: if ever you find yourself looking at a new toy and wondering “who wants this?” or “who are they even making this for?”, the answer is fairly uniformly “someone else”

I have no real interest in the #HasLab #GIJoe Snow C.A.T. as I can't afford to part with the funds or the physical space. Strangely(?), I wouldn't mind owning the three unlock tiers, though. An arctic campfire playset speaks to me for some reason I can't put my finger on.🤷🏼‍♂️

We’re overdue for the next SHODO Super Sentai team announcement, no?

😁👍🏼 #MMPR #ReIgnition

At some point in late 2023, I realized that I had gone on my last toy hunt for Power Rangers, having no clue when my last successful one was. A sad end to a 30-year span. Thanks to Playmates, I now know that my last successful hunt was today. And I suspect there may be more in the future.

I'm seeing so much ignorance/naïveté/stupidity when it comes to the new #MMPR #ReIgnition toys. If this was 5ish years ago, I would've done a long thread by now, explaining to people how toy releases work. But I'm fairly convinced people aren't interested in learning these things anymore.

For those interested in such things, Playmates' #MMPR #PowerRangers #ReIgnition product pages are now up. For those following things super closely, not much new info. Walmart should have items available for purchase soon, Target/Amazon/etc later on in the Fall. playmatestoys.com/brand/mighty...

Congrats to whomever won Lot 4333 in the latest #PowerRangers auction. While I can't identify everything included (though I haven't spent much energy trying to do so), there's a small chance that whatever item in the lot caught their eye may not even be the coolest item in the lot.

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane
