Just another normal day in Trump's America, where dissent and disagreement with the Dear Leader is apparently treason punishable by execution in the street by his personal army of thugs cosplaying as federal agents. #Trump #AI #WTF

So nearly 6 months late, my #HiyaToys Kelvin-era Enterprise has finally arrived and, all in all, I'm happy with it. It looks great and the lights are awesome. The only negative is the motor in the bussard collectors, which is really noisy. It's a nifty gimmick, but too loud to really use. #StarTrek

Drop some ROBOTS 🤖🖤 (PS - If you know who this is, you are old. Like me.)

Oh. Oh, that's genuinely a shame. I didn't realise Hans Zimmer was scoring this. Kinda lost some respect for him, honestly, to be involved in anything related to Rowling's hate campaign. #HBO #HarryPotter #TERFs

Oooo! Coffees have just arrived for the @jameshoffmann.bsky.social Fermentation Project 2026. We've got wild fermentation, mechanically demucilaged, yeast fermentation and lactic fermentation. Looking forward to trying them and seeing what the differences are! #Coffee #Method

Oh my god it's FINALLY going to ship. I pre-ordered this in April of last year! Guess they wanted to wait for the 60th anniversary? #HiyaToys #Enterprise #StarTrek #AmpleNacelles

I know it's hardly a hot take but these amounts of money are simply obscene. He kicks a fucking football around. He hasn't cured cancer, he hasn't help people out of poverty, he hasn't solved the climate crisis and yet he's somehow worth more than most doctors will make in a lifetime. #Football

It’s a terrible movie double bill! With the man, the myth, the legend that is Tommy Wiseau.

It's honestly kind of funny that this was right below this post. Fuck off, Linus. AI is a cancer that needs to be cut out. It ruins communities, it makes rich techbros richer, it destroys jobs. It offers NOTHING that we need.

He’s mine. My precious. He’ll tide me over till MDLX Shockers comes out later this year. #Transformers #Blokees

Sad to see that Tidal isn't going to follow in the footsteps of @bandcamp.com and ban AI music outright. Instead they're trying to find a wishy-washy compromise that, most likely, will just piss everyone off on both sides. It shouldn't be allowed. Fuck AI music. Here endeth the lesson. #Tidal #AI

If you've never played FAR: Lone Sails, now would be the perfect time with it being so unbelievably cheap on @gog.com right now. Beautiful and lonely, it's a trip I firmly believe everyone should take.

He’s mine at long last and, as with other MDLX series toys, he was worth the wait. #Transformers #OptimusPrime

So here's what Kier Starmer promised us back at the last election, when the Tories were still in power. Has he done any of it? Anything at all now he's in the big chair? Abolished UC? Taken industries back from greedy private owners? Has he defended migrant rights or vilified them? He's a liar.

The gorgeous Transformers - The Movie 40th Anniversary poster by @davidcousens.bsky.social in its new home in my hall. The red frame was definitely the right way to go with this one, I think. Brilliant piece of work, mate. #Transformers

Amazing quality control from #Guylian. Was this packed by the apprentice? Padding that's doing nothing to hold the egg in place and a handful of chocolates in wrappers that don't actually fit them thrown in as an afterthought. This is one of the pricier eggs at Sainsburys. #Enshitification

A picture of a chocolate easter egg inside its box. The packaging meant to hold the egg in place is wedged in haphazardly and chocolates have been thrown loose into the bottom of the box.

Slow and steady progress. I’ve been going to the gym 2-3 times a week since April 2025 (October and November were kind of a bust thanks to illness). Weights and reps keep going up. Not bad for a fifty year old. #Everfit #TheGymGroup

God. They might be able to save that one wall, I guess, but it's just gutted. Sigh. Hats off to the fire service stopping it from spreading further. Still a massive blow to the heart of Glasgow. Oh, and Grok AI can go fuck itself with its insane claims that this is fake. #Glasgow #Fire

Hey. Hey #Youtube. See this "Most relevant" shit? It's useless. Nobody asked for it. Nobody wants it. Stop trying to ape Facebook. I don't need your algorithm showing me videos from two weeks ago. Just how me my subscriptions in the order that they've been uploaded. That's it. That's all I need.

My latest review for @noizzeuk.bsky.social is the sort of band that would have old-fashioned stiff-upper lip types tutting, hmphing, and dropping their monocles into their cups of tea. It's the new EP from the provocatively named Twat Union and it's bloody good. www.noizze.co.uk/twat-union-d...

I gotta say. It’s not looking great for Smyths continuing to sell Tranformers toys. The TF section is getting smaller and smaller every time I go in. #Transformers

First stop for #DistantWorlds3 is the charming "World of Death" (Spoihaae XE-X d2-9 A 1), a fast-orbiting planet that passes through the cones of a white dwarf, so there is only a small window of time where you can try to land. Here's a slightly panicked picture of my SRV on the surface.

Oh the irony. Even Dear Leader says you're talking out your ass, CBS. You're not a news channel, you're a propaganda machine for a fascist and his murdering thugs.

It's almost impressive how dull, boring & repetitive a game Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is. I've been playing Battletech for 30+ years now and this entry in the franchise is a tedious slog that makes you wait far too long for better mechs & weapons while playing the same missions again & again.

It wasn’t a great workout today, but I gotta work on keeping that consistency. Twice a week, every week.

Hey, @proton.me, I'm already paying you guys for a subscription so it's kind of annoying that you've shoved not just one but two big "PLEASE GIVE US MORE MONEY" buttons into Proton Pass. #Proton #Passwords

We all know fast food companies lie to us, but every now and again the lie is so egregious that I feel the need to let other people know about it. #Dominos are doing mince pie cookies for Christmas and their marketing is a fantasy. Here's their picture, and here's what you ACTUALLY get. Pathetic.

This image really demonstrates the issues modern day collectors have with current-era Hasbro. Look at that excuse for a gun. Look at that cost-cutting shit. Look at all the voids. Modern day figures are as much empty air as they are plastic. Thank god for the third-party market. #Transformers

Are you a #Transformers fan? Do you live in the UK? Do you have a TK Maxx vaguely nearby? Then you need to go visit. Now. My local store suddenly got a huge delivery. Bumblebee, Cosmos and Studio Series Prime came home with me, and I just realised I don't have that Thundercracker! Dammit!

Whenever fuckers like the Tories or that slimy Russian bootlicker Nigel Farage talk about getting rid of the NHS and replacing it with the American system, THIS is the shit they're talking about. People being denied lifesaving care to promote a company's "swagger". Fuck these people.
