The Facebook AI suggestions are universally terrible but “Bumblebee fights cholesterol” has a certain je ne sais quoi.

I once had a recipe that needed 400g of peeled potatoes. I selected what I felt was the right amount, peeled them and put them on the scale and… Exactly 400g. I took this photo to send it to my wife. It’s from 2018. I will never delete it.

Here’s a toy I love for a stupid reason: TR Sky Shadow. My wife worked a job with a manager who had no experience in the industry she works in. She’d come home and tell me stories about this man I’d never seen, so I pictured sky shadow instead, sitting confused behind a desk trying to look busy.

A weird thing I’ve found myself disappointed by lately is Transformers toy packaging. I’d argue it peaked with Cybertron but even TR had a magic that the SS86 blandness just can’t compare against. Plain black boxes? Nah.

Bad news guys: FansHobby Lightning Eagle sucks. Or at least my copy does (it was still factory sealed). Tabs that won’t lock in, parts that absolutely won’t slide past each other like they’re supposed to, and joints that can’t hold weight. It looks amazing, but it’s just not up to standard.

This looks great, but you try moving any piece of it without it exploding. Or toppling over.

Every year I ask and every year I am left to dream. It’s TFN Season which means I am once again requesting my personal Holy Grail: A picture of Overlord drawn by @jroberts332.bsky.social signed by @nickroche.bsky.social

A rare photograph of Sean Connery Signed by Roger Moore. It is worth $150.

Is this as good as reading it at full size? No, but it’s damn close, way cheaper and much more portable. Should do this with way more stories.

We discovered a shocking secret the other day. According to Wikipedia our beloved British cultural icon Ed Pirrie is, in actuality, a Frenchman named Ed Pierre!

The wonderful @gavtrdq.bsky.social sent me the Overlord Blokees for my Overlord shelf and included this magnificent fella. Going to have him sit above my desk and menace all of my patients.

He’s also on the list but my Overlord shelf yearns for more members.

The Energon toys are indeed huge and low-poly. UT has my favourite aesthetic for toys - an exact middle ground between realism and cartoonish, like a tonka truck come to life

MW Starscream will probably be a Legacy Skyquake recolour, but it hopefully opens the door to a Predator Skyquake recolour.

I live in northern Australia and aside from the bit where nothing big comes here (you have to travel for concerts and conventions) it’s pretty great. For instance, an island full of beaches like this is only 20mins on the local ferry.

Felt the need to just buy a new Transformer so went out and found Bone Shaker here. He’s a very nice little deluxe and a million times cooler looking than Twin Mill even if it is all EDGE. Not a big fan of the feet and he needs a proper gun but otherwise a solid 8/10.
