MOTU crossover figures are cool because you can then cross them over with each other to create nightmares

Turtles of Grayskull Ninjor with the skull head of MOTU x ThunderCats Skell-Ra. Looks like some kind of tengu demon. I love it.

I didn’t care for the man, but the way the Republicans are flogging his death to the point of puppeteering a digital corpse makes me feel a deep level of disgust and empathy for him. (Which he would have hated.)

These AI technomystics are mining a new flavor of horror.

Alan Elrod @aselrod.bsky.social · 3d

Churches showing an AI Charlie Kirk telling congregants, through an artificial voice, not to let evil win is a new level of instrumentalizing the dead.

When Trump goes, I think we’re going to see the same thing. Visions and AI slop will abound. Prophecies and messages from beyond the grave.

I wrote about how MAGA is being shaped by a politics of immortality, how Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom reflects this, and what it could mean for the future of Trumpism. Read at @liberalcurrents.com

The odds of this getting swept under the rug are high. Keep it circulating.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Okay, I finally understand the appeal of these figures.

Jenny Gabs as the Shredder (‘s action figure), Halloween 1991. You remember how the Shredder wears an orange smock with a picture of himself on it?

Ben Cooper Costume Kids Shredder, by NECA. Add some black sleeves under the stealthy and ninja-like orange smock, and you’ve got me.

Unfortunately I have to assume the Optimus Prime/MOBAT and General Hawk set is not happening anymore, or it’s being pushed off until this crossover movie materializes ☹️

Should I buy a vintage 1986 Hawk? That would guarantee it to get a reveal and release date.

This is bonkers and I love it. The alt mode is giving Mogyuu Daioh. It’s so creative and different. And naginatas rule!

Glad I decided to stop by Meijer on the way home!

TMNT reissue Scale Tail. I had this figure as a child.

TMNT reissue Chrome Dome. I’ve never owned this figure!

The famously “radical left” CNN helping the regime peddle its alternative reality. Lemme know how that works out (my guess? They’ll continue to excoriate your liBeRaL bIaS and the MAGA troglodytes will swallow it whole, you gain NOTHING by playing to these people)

Toy collectors are of course the worst at identifying Glup Shittos, because we get more attached to these diorama fillers than most. I still remember how stoked I was to find Feltipern Trevagg at retail. It’s just too bad I never found Dannik Jerriko.

Jenny Gabs @kaizokurogue.bsky.social · 12d

The “Glup Shitto” thing was kind of funny at first but as with all things people take it too far. GREEDO is not a Glup Shitto, he has dialogue and is addressed by name in the movie.

This guy is a Glup Shitto, because I had to scroll forever to find a picture that wasn’t a figure.

@aewontv.bsky.social please pass along to the relevant parties that AEW fans do not want to see these racist ads for the regime’s goon squad during AEW programming. Tonight is strike 2.

Damn, I was gonna follow up with a picture of Black Zarak dual wielding Classics and Henkei Megatron, but somehow I never recorded that for posterity and they’re all boxed up.

One of the best things about the big guys is their ability to wield Shockwave in blaster mode (I mean upside down spaceship mode)

Damn, has it even been a month since the last time they flew him out to a Lazarus pit? Might be time to start thinking about possessing Barron or something.

Once again, we bury the lede even after Karolyin confirms the essence of it:

The camera-obsessed narcissist president is... where?

How long has Trump BEEN missing?

My gf and I both grew up thinking the song was saying “I wish that I *was* Jesse’s girl”

Both of us grew up going “yeah, I wouldn’t mind looking like Lori Loughlin as an adult”
