LEGO released a #JAWS diorama in August 2024, and I had no idea.
I'm not a huge enough LEGO fan that I would assemble and display this, but I think I'd like to someday add it to my JAWS collection... and now I'm wondering if there are JAWS #puzzles out there I don't know about.

That Nike World Series "end credits" is low key petty, but I can't stop laughing.
I'm a happy Dodgers fan now, but was low key rooting for Toronto because, like the Orioles, it's been forever since a championship.
I'm good, but Nike throwing salt in that Kendrick vs Drake wound like this... yikes.

Something weird is going on with Live TV on Prime Video.
Watching on TV via Roku, after an hour shows will slowly fall out of sync, with video falling 3-5 seconds behind the audio.
Doesn't happen with live programming via MLB Network and Vix Premium subscriptions. Doesn't happen on iPad.
Why?

Huh. @darkhorse.com does puzzles. There's a brand new two-sided THE LAST OF US PART II puzzle.
I can't recall seeing a two-sided puzzle before, but looks kinda cool. It's 20x27, 1000 pieces, with Ellie and her guitar in a quiet moment on one side, and an armed Ellie ready to fight on the other.

Peacock added Vampire Princess Miyu, but seems like the same 4 OVA episodes on Prime and Apple TV.
Not complaining, but I've never seen the 26 episodes from the TV series end up on streaming. I have them on DVD (used to have them on laserdisc), but sometimes you don't wanna break out the discs 🤣

So, an email from @vinsyn.bsky.social about their Labor Day Sale says one OOP title they have available is the documentary POWER OF GRAYSKULL: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe blu-ray.
Never knew about the blu-ray, and it has tons of bonus features. Gonna get it.

So, my return to Fubo experiment hasn't lasted.
I've switched again: Vix Premium on Prime for #LigaMX, MLB Network on Prime for #baseball, Peacock for Premier League.
Had to add MASN+ to get #Orioles games because MLB.TV is misleading: all games EXCEPT my home market teams?
But I'm saving $75 🤣

I have a feeling that Patreon is about to start some heinous stupid mindgames.
The past 10 days I have not been able to view my patrons. That list is how I grab the email addresses to select perks winners every month.
Any and all links to view your patrons are gone. What the AF are they thinking?

Interesting, every weekend this summer, @kinolorber.com is unlocking titles from their vault (TV and Film), and it looks like most are 40-50% off.
Now I'm just waiting for them to reissue the 4K DAYLIGHT and DANTE'S PEAK Studio Classics releases canceled earlier.

I know eventually Fubo and Hulu Live TV are merging, but dammit, I'm so damned disappointed in Hulu Live TV, and regretting canceling Fubo a couple months ago to switch.
So I'll go back to Fubo for baseball, and will add Vix to Amazon in July to watch Liga MX. The merger will merge when it merges.
