BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Hi there, UK Comics Collectors! Does anybody have copies of, or is able to source, issues 12 - 13 of Titan Books Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magazine from 2008? I'm affiliated with a project dedicated to archiving and preserving ancillary media, and those are the last two needed from that run.

I have no idea how many Tamiya kits I've built over the years, but I do know I enjoyed every single one of them.
RIP, and thank you for SO many happy hours over more than 4 decades of my life.
RIP Shunsaku Tamiya, age 90, the chairman of legendary modelmaker Tamiya. He didn't found the company, but started working there in 1958, just four years after its founding, and helped it shift from its original line of wooden models into the plastic kits it is so well known for today.

I'm not sure if I'm going to bother with the Skybound TF comic after the latest issue. They did something utterly distasteful and overly grim just to hammer home a point they'd already repeatedly made. It just felt really wrong to me.
I think I'm out.

Palitoy Action Force - Q Force
Nearly all of it, in fact. I only need a carded Battle Gear to complete the set, and I only need a carded Sonar Officer & Aqua Trooper (I have a carded Leviathan somewhere) to have them all with their original packaging.

Lithgow declined to comment on the strange dark mold visible on his wallpaper, citing "it speaks and I listen" before claiming there was no mold present anywhere in his home while thick reams of ichor began spilling out of his eyes and mouth
Lithgow confirms he hates trans people: "following the announcement, he received a text from a 'very good friend' who is the mother of a trans child [asking him to leave the show]... As for whether the criticism has soured the role for him, Lithgow replied, “Oh, heavens no.”

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

Pro-Palestinian rhetoric does NOT constitute material support for a terrorist organization.

Criticism of the State of Israel does NOT constitute antisemitism.

I picked up Cosmos & Armada Wheeljack in Smyths on Saturday. So nice to be able to actually GET Cosmos! And Wheeljack is a superb use of the Sideswipe mould. I hope I can find the original at TFNation this year.

A new follower - someone who I used to think was a friend, who slagged me off on social media years ago. Perhaps he doesn't think I remember.

I fucking remember.
