This is Bungalo. She uses that face to get what she wants. It works unbelievably well. 12/10 would never say no to

This is Pooch. He was born with a growth of hairy skin on his eye, causing chronic discomfort and partially obstructing his vision. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover his $8,000 surgery to have it removed. He's now fully recovered and looking for a forever home ❤️‍🩹

“Has the left gone too far in opposing Trump’s weaponization of the DOJ?” — NYT (probably)

While we're here, let's get a separate pic going of the included VECTOR SIGMA and KEY TO VECTOR SIGMA accessories! (1.5/)

FICTION FIRST! TF is usually a toy-first (or at least concurrent) deal, thus media-only bots getting toys is... less than common. But now on @tfwiki.net are new pics of a bunch of 'em! Like Legacy ALPHA TRION, the first "normal" toy to properly evoke his original cartoon model! (1/)

Break them.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR was released 8 years ago today. The first part in the MCU’s epic Infinity Gauntlet saga, and one of the highest-grossing films ever made, the story behind the scenes could wipe out half the Universe… 1/62

TOYS

I feel the need to point out how nice Botcon Shokaract is

AVENGERS: ENDGAME was released 7 years ago today. The goodbye story for the original 6 Avengers, and one of the biggest movies ever made, ATRM telling its story is as inevitable as Thanos… 1/63

How's this for a fried slice of vintage 1988 Transformers gold?

First grade and already worried about her academic transcript. Susie was built differently. #CalvinandHobbes #Overachiever

The comet of the hour, C/2025 R Pan-STARRS reached perihelion today at ~7:00 UT/3:00AM EDT, 0.499 AU(46.4 million mi) from the Sun , just exterior to the orbit of Mercury. Currently shining at magnitude +4, dedicated astros are still managing to nab the comet before it’s engulfed in the Sun’s glare.

Just updated the @tfwiki.net pic of the Mini-spy dune buggy with a construction variant: Most Minis have 8-spoked rear wheels & angled motor housings. Rarer is the "pre-TF" type w/ shallow "web" wheels and round casing. Round-types can also have GOODYEAR or blank tires instead of angled's DUNLOP.

During the Eocene Epoch, 25 million years ago, parts of North America as far north as Oregon were covered with a sub-tropical forest that was nearly identical to the one found in Central America today. These large Brontotherium teeth only hint at the majestic size of a well preserved, adult skull.

Ask a simple question, lose your TV privileges. Some doors are better left unopened. #CalvinandHobbes #LearnedTheHardWay

Hoping some of you might want to appreciate my Big Daddy

This is Moose. He has been accused of stealing a carrot. Too bad there's no evidence to back that up. 13/10 (TT: mooooooooooooose13)

Probably my best-known book is THE GUNS OF THE SOUTH. Yeah, the one with Robert E. Lee holding an AK-47. The Confederacy wins its independence. And, like the dog that caught the car, it has to work out what the devil to do next. www.amazon.com/Guns-South-N...

WORLDWAR: IN THE BALANCE is the first of a 4-book series (8 in the universe all told) where the aliens invade in late May 1942, when WW2 is as even as it ever was. They probed us 800 years earlier, but we're a bit more advanced than they expected. A bit. www.amazon.com/Balance-Alte...

This is Missy. She escaped from her backyard and ran straight to daycare, where she had a spa day and got to play with her boyfriend. Lessons were learned, but not the ones her parents probably hoped. 13/10 (TT: spotsplaceyqr)

“Excuse me, but must you smoke that foul thing around here?”

Last year the White House Correspondents Dinner abruptly unbooked Amber Ruffin. This year, Trump will be there and with all his “quiet piggy” abuse and outright censorship, they would never think of disinviting him. They are cowards and largely responsible for why we are where we are. Fuck them all.

“Hello, Emily. This is Gladys Murphy up the street. Fine, thanks. … Say, Emily, could you go to your window and describe what’s in my front yard?”

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!
