that film had a singing booger with the voice of luther vandross, a great train robbery, people speaking wookiee (badly), and a final battle with Legally Distinct Gulliver Foyle as the bad guy. only bad move IMO was firing lord & miller. the movie definitely needed more swearing

If they really wanted to celebrate the anniversary of Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, they should have included Miller’s Report as a double feature in the US theatrical release.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Horrifying to realize that the reason that no blue state governor has activated that National Guard or local police force against the feds is literally, like - if you try to do that and the national guard or police doesn't listen to you or turns against you, you're not really governor any more

It's been 20 years and society has failed to make disc art as good as King Of The Hill season 2 on DVD.

I was like "i should immediately buy and build more moderoids!!" before remembering that they're a goodsmile deal, which means you usually gotta preorder em. I got Gaiking because the last surviving new england comics had one and I had a gift card. will have to keep eyes peeled for bargains...

Back in the plamo game for real. The g-quacks was a complicated and frustrating build for my large and meaty hands… but I gotta admit it looks cool. But Gaiking, baby’s first moderoid?? 100% fun to build and surprisingly chunky and sturdy.
Gonna try to slay my long-standing backlog this winter.

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country
ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs."

I do not understand why the companies are so allergic to calling these "talk shows", which the very clearly are! Is that too old fashioned or something? Do they think the youth or whoever think only grandmas watch talk shows?

The gofundme for that factory worker who called Trump a pedophile protector is at like $300k. Funniest possible outcome of this is everyone rushing to do the same thing in the hopes of getting paid

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.
