I know every owner of an orange cat says this, but my orange cat is the dumbest of them all. No thoughts in that head, and I wouldn't want it any other way 😸

I didn't pull him in the review brick, but I had to track down the chase figure of Bastion since Second Coming is one of my favorite X-Men stories!

X-Men '97 has been awesome, and now you can play characters from it on the tabletop in the latest HeroClix expansion from @wizkidsheroclix.bsky.social! Check out my @afinsider.bsky.social review of a booster brick: www.actionfigureinsider.com/marvel-heroc...

Early on I guessed that Zendaya would be playing Athena in Nolan's Odyssey and that seems to be confirmed. As a (recovering) Classicist, I wholeheartedly approve! Casting for this movie is stellar

Okay, nerds let's see your shelves (or desks)
These photos are out of date (and show just a small part of the overall collection), but things are a bit of a mess right now. One day I'll have time to reorganize, clean, and take new pics!

We weren't sure he'd even be able to figure out how to use it (he's far from the sharpest tool in the shed), but Frodo Baggins loves his new mini scratching post!

Pre-Halloween Cub Scout camping is always a really great time. The kids get a safe trick or treat activity and all the parents are very generous. Plus my older Scout enjoys volunteering as staff, so he gets in on the fun too

I've always loved Tron (the original), so this week I 3D printed a retro Light Cycle. In pink, of course!

My "biggest" purchase from Los Angeles Comic Con was for three bootleg Lego mini-figs: Voltron and from Warhammer 40k a Blood Angels Bladeguard Veteran and an unpainted gray Space Marines Intercessor

I love teaching Greek mythology, and one of my favorite things since I was a grad school teaching assistant at UCSB has been charting out the causes of the Trojan War (which I got to do in a very condensed version the other day). It all starts with a swan and an apple... 🦢🍎

Really enjoying Savage Crew, the latest novel by my friend @erikdeleo.bsky.social! Action-packed and gritty sci-fi with bite, humor, and a cantina's worth of weird and wild aliens. Recommended!

I'm not a big Magic the Gathering guy, but I have a new favorite card given to me by my son after this weekend's Spider-Man pre-release, the almighty Bagel and Schmear! Now I just have to build a deck around this 🥯

Cue the Tiger King "I am never going to financially recover from this" meme. Very excited to get my hands on the Horus Heresy Saturnine box for my Emperor's Children, now I just need to sell more stuff from my pile of shame to afford it. 😅😅😅

Came across this gem of a pronunciation guide in a copy of Homer's Odyssey and couldn't help but laugh (because I am very immature). Diomedes? Diomedes nuts! 🤣

I was reminded that 10 years ago I got the chance to visit the headquarters of DC Comics (and DC Direct). Absolutely incredible experience and a highlight of my toy journalism hobby

I actually found one! Hot Wheels started releasing Transformers vehicles (they do not transform) last year and this is the first time I've seen one in the wild. Excited to add this Track Fleet Ultra Magnus to my collection!
