Kristen Schaal???

The 2026 olympic mascots spent 1996 selling some kind of frosting-covered snack cracker, but with extra calcium so it counted as healthy

Overskills are Stands. This guy has the power to make everyone in a miles-wide radius hear the thoughts and secrets of others.

Might I interest you in this fine gentleman?
Screen capture of Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) from Farscape, a man with translucent semi-reptilian skin over skeletal features, wearing a leather cowl and alligator-skin armor. The ear cap of his temperature control suit has popped out, revealing the spent cooling rod from inside his brain. The housing is oozing red goo.

And up on the shelf with the Zeta friends! Took an extra picture of the pose because she’s kind of hidden back there.

I’m sure the transformation is very nice and I love that the landing gear is in-built, but I decided simply not to. She’s beautiful without being an airplane.

Stupid, stupid show.
Screen capture of the Babylon 5 season 4 premiere: The Hour of the Wolf. A giant portrait of Daffy Duck's panicked face is on the wall of Garbaldi's quarters. Offscreen, G'Kar asks "Is it one of his household gods?"

I am going to firebomb something and I'm losing the ability to care what.
An advertisement for Waze navigation adding the voice of Gerard Butler's character from How to Train your Dragon I guess because he's such a good driver and the world has been clamoring for yet more Gerard Butler in our lives and it's not like there are too many stupid synthesized voice options in every fucking app anyway when I'm just trying to go somewhere maybe to have a real human connection, why wouldn't I want that moderated by a simulation of STOICK THE VAST VOICED BY GERARD BUTLER FROM HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (live action remake ver)

The urge to make an annoying reply is occasionally overwhelming and screen capping is all I can do to stop from embarrassing myself. BUT I CAN THINK OF A FEW OF US

This is Metropolitan Correctional Center, a federal prison in the center of the Loop that is more attractive and has far more windows than this bulging cinderblock lodged in the historic site of the 1893 World's Fair, one of the most pleasant urban parks in the world.
Aierial photograph of Metropolitan Correctional Center, Chicago. A tan, triangular skyscraper in the Chicago Loop with flat sides and thin slit windows at semi-random intervals, kind of like an old computer punchcard. It is attached to a large parking structure, and has a visible prison yard on the roof.

That’s because it was the year of my Ideon watch thread

Alaina figured out the internal frame on these guys, but the kiddo did all the surface sculpting and painting. She’s brilliant.

Look at the mechanic scamp child’s GIGANTIC PANTS
Cona Madaya from Overman King Gainer, a mechanic in a vest, long sleeves, fingerless gloves, and huge-ass JNCO jeans tucked into her sneakers. Her toothy smile and vertical hair bun suggest a chipmunk

And some non-requests up on a base. Didn’t know whether to shelve her with the 0079 crew or the AUs, such is life.

This tour is all about the early years. And that was interpreted broadly to include unreleased demos, covers of friend’s songs from the period, and other little surprises. Great show, but I’m still waiting to hear No Action live.

I also got Pig cast on me but it’s not as funny as sad frog.
