@tikgnat.bsky.social my wall would look oh so empty without one next year 🥺
I spoke briefly to @tikgnat.bsky.social at #TFNation Minicon Reading and although in the past he has expressed the notion that 2026 wasn't going to get one of his amazing #Transformers fan photography calendars, he is close to breaking. So if you'd like that, pester him to cobble one together!

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Hey Hasbro, your license manager’s have really dropped the ball here…
I have always maintained a strict policy of never questioning other people's tastes when it comes to collecting but what exactly are we doing here

EHRC withdraws interim guidance encouraging trans exclusion

Seeing as Nightshade from Transformers: Earthspark is catching attention again, here's some of the work I did on the character. There was an earlier version of them that had been finalised and approved, but the writers wanted a new alt mode; their earlier disguise was a 'Gargoyle'!

Looking through some old Solidworks files and screenshots. I did so much work on the LSOTW rookies some years ago. Almost had Rotorstorm and Guzzle ‘ready’ to print. Seems I lost the latest files so just have earlier WIP versions left (pics shown).

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.
However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.
I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.
