Wow...Just got an email reminding me that the Tron Haslab finishes in 3 days...So I had a look to see how far it got...

So, we have the latest "Do you think Hasbro will learn from how poorly this has done...?"...obviously, the answer will remain..."No.".

Not even 1500!!!

Wow...one cupboard, and it was only the top half!!! There's probably 10 times as much in the loft, probably as much in another cupboard AND boxes and boxes still in my Mom's spare room!!!

So, I've got a load of stuff currently sitting in the top of a cupboard in my daughters room (used to be my home office)...I'm now going through it...First find:

The @bsky.app people DO know that the majority of people here ALREADY left one social media site for their questionable behaviour...??

We've already demonstrated that we have no loyalty to a site in the face of dubious decision making???

This sounds like it should be the plot of some early 90's action movie!!! Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme should be infiltrating those responsible, spitting out one liners...

Instead...

This is the START of the world we now inhabit!!!
I try not to post atrocities without connected actions, but I am struggling right now to process the enormity of this, the list of relative prices in particular.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

That's the first 130 issue, with shiny new bags and boards. There is no better sight!!!

I always imagined gimmick covers like this would one day lose their ability to glow-in-the-dark...but just got to issue 50, and it's still glowing up a storm...#GreenLantern

Picked up Fantastic Four #4 today...I cannot believe how much Ryan North is just continually knocking this out of the park!!!

What a perfect, self-contained issue!!! Everything you want from a Fantastic Four story!!!

I'm really just speechless...

What a miserable night! We're at the start of the "Firework season" in the UK! The last few nights there have been a few, but easily ignored.

Tonight it has been going on, pretty much non-stop, for the 3 hours!

I really hate fireworks & really believe they should be banned for sale to the public!

Just watched Terminator 2 again, for about the millionth time, the very much hated 4K bluray.

Suddenly realised how many times I've bought this movie!!!

Standard VHS
Wide-screen VHS
Laserdisc
Multiple DVD'S
Multiple Blu-rays
4K Blu-ray

And that is sure to be replaced one day to!!!

In my unfortunate experience, and it is ONLY my experience I'm not saying it is a universal truth, every "religious" person I have ever met has been like this.

It gives ME faith that this is the closest I've ever seen to someone calling them out...not enough...but its a starts.
heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Picked this up and I'm just watching it. Wow!

This film has NEVER looked this good. I am 7 again!

I remember a precocious me explaining to my Dad the difference between a computer and my Atari 2600. My dad remembered that conversation and a few years later got me my first "computer"...a Dragon 32.

Look what just arrived...very exciting. Its taken ages to find a DM version without getting rinsed by eBay scalpers!!!

Whilst the orange buffoon is here, can't America change the locks and shut the curtains??

I HATE steelbooks!!!!

So, I've just blocked my 5th account today.

All accounts following the same patterns, all follow me, like 3 completely random posts from my timeline.

They don't post ANYTHING on theirs, just loads of reposts...

The neighborhood is going downhill.

Look who was reduced on Amazon yesterday and arrived this evening, and yes, I will STILL be getting the Fantastic Four version as well...

Anyone NOT in the USA noticed the amount of online adverts trying to encourage people to visit the US?

Any social media adverts, look at the comments if they have them...guaranteed to make you laugh.

Suffice to say when/if the Orange buffoon leaves, America will be flooded with visitors!!!
