Weebles are so good at getting back up that they can play football without feet

Wendy (Caucasian girl with straight black hair wearing yellow shirt and green bottom) and two other children are kicking a black and white ball around on a soccer pitch while Willie (boy in red and white striped shirt, blue bottom, and red and white paneled ball cap with red W insignia) watches from behind the touch line. None of the children have legs.

Still from Weebles episode "The Weeball Game" (2017)

I would imagine that referring to FMA as "Hagaren" also dodges uninformed onlookers' tendency to misassociate Fullmetal Alchemist with Stanley Kubrick's 1987 war film Full Metal Jacket.

Moved around some goo, new model sheet time. Please forgive me for not really wanting to innovate on the layout or text. If it ain't broke... #art #digitalart #oc #modelsheet

Model sheet for Olivine (Ollie). They’re a goofy green creature made of slime with arms but no legs, kind of a naga thing going on but much chubbier. They have a rounded chubby muzzle with catfish-like whiskers and two thicker whisker-like protrusions on their chubby cheeks, and a pair of floppy feelers (antennae) on their head. Their hands are simplified and mitten-like with no individual fingers. Diagrams on the side show that they are malleable and easily change their shape.

A broken clock ⏰️ shows the correct hour 8 percent of the time. Even if an elected official is as actively dangerous as some in power in 2026, I feel no shame in agreeing with up to 8 percent of their platform while expressing sheer disgust at the other 92 percent.

"LSTM" stands for "long short-term memory", the neural network architecture that predates the more parallel "transformer" architecture of current language models. Yet out of frustration with LLM output that has filled web search results, I first read it as "looks slop to me."

Mostly I want to see the episodes bridging CoComelon Nursery Rhymes to Netflix's CoComelon Lane, where Ms. Appleberry teaches JJ how to host a reality show about his town.

Damian Yerrick @pineight.com · 26/09/2026

And the present cast of CoComelon, with JJ and the rest of the Smith family, is about one year older. They first appeared in March 2017, near the end of the channel's "ABCkidTV" era.

Are you using the mobile app on iOS or Android? If you are using Discord for iOS, you have to first sign into the website and change a setting to unblock age-restricted content on iOS. It probably has something to do with some obscure App Store requirement.

Disney needs to cool it with the rapid-fire live-action remakes already. They just remade PINOCCHIO in 2022, and now four years later, Disney's 20th Century Studios is rehashing the Monstro🐋 sequence into WHALEFALL.

At minimum, this is evidence of some sort of continuity in the CoComelon universe: first the TV upgrade (from ABCkidTV to CoComelon), then JJ's bed upgrade, then JJ's first day of school.

I have 2 theories about how the Cocomelon movie's plot might go. - It could build on the structure of the three extended episodes of Netflix's Cocomelon Lane: Preschool Musical (S3), Christmas (S6), and Parade (S7) - Or it could end up a remake of Dora the Explorer S3 episode "The Lost City"

In 2006 the channel was associated with That's Me On TV, a service that let a parent submit a photo of a child to insert into music videos of alphabet songs. It rebranded to "ABCkidTV" in 2013 with 2D animation and flipped to the present 3D format in March 2017, becoming CoComelon in August 2018.

Happy Batman day! Be sure to visit Batman the next time you're in SE Turkey! Daily flights from Istanbul, or a pleasant 25-hr-long train ride from Ankara. Visit the Batman Museum, and see all the Paleolithic & Neolithic artifact in addition a display on drowned village of Hasankeyf!

Is there really a Weebles fan club? Where do I sign up?

Three Weebles figures wearing striped shirts. From left to right:
Winston from Jazwares Weebles Winston & Wobbly Boat (2016). Caucasian boy with green eyes, blond hair, and no legs, wearing a light blue and white striped shirt, a blue bottom, and an American-style "dixie cup" sailor cap with anchor emblem.
Highway from Playskool Weebles Gas Station (1989). Caucasian boy with teal eyes, light brown hair, and no legs, wearing a blue and white striped shirt and a red bottom.

That's actually the case, in a way. The Weebles cartoons show characters lying down under weighted blankets.

Blue rabbit with no hind legs wearing a yellow shirt, pink sleeveless nightgown, and pink bow between her ears, lying in bed under a red blanket with orange floral prints.

Still from Weebles episode "Birdie Lee's Colorful Day" (2005)

Wendy (Caucasian girl with no legs, black hair, and a green bow) is lying in bed under a blue blanket with light blue trim with her eyes closed. A dog plushie with no hind legs and a round bottom lies next to her pillow. Clock and "Keep Wobbling" poster in background.

It turns out one of the Cocomelon spinoffs is Canadian. Cocomelon Lane on Netflix is made by the same Vancouver-based studio that made Atomic Betty. And it's a lot more tolerable than Cocomelon classic.

Even if you're a Weeble, you still need to watch your wobble while you carry a jar of paste. If you trip and fall, it could take a while for someone to help you up, like in the episode "He Who Fell". www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gtw...
