Picture shows the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland in his little gray pants, yellow vest, and red jacket, carrying his umbrella and watch, and saying "I'm late, I'm late... I'm very very late".

Image shows an original pencil drawing of Winnie the Pooh and his friend Piglet. Pooh is bending over, face down toward the ground, with his paws on his knees. Piglet is looking at him with concern. The text above says:
"I'm fine, I'm fine... You just got me right in the nads... Jesus Christ".

@wikipedia.org I had occasion to look up Matt Damon and as expected, a link to his Wiki shows up. I think, perhaps, that some editing might be in order here, either by yourselves or by Google, because this is disgusting, and seems like it was done on purpose.

Image shows screenshot of a Google search for Matt Damon, resulting in a wikipedia link. The Google result also shows a small snippet of said wiki page, and includes a completely out of context piece of text relating to one of his films that makes it seem as if Damon had sexually assaulted his wife, rather than it being part of the plot of said film.

This is why physical media is so important. I got this Switch Lite secondhand, and I've got a couple of secondhand games on their way that I can just slot in and play (plus maybe a little downloading, as with Starlink here), and they are MINE to keep.

Picture shows my secondhand turquoise Animal Crossing edition Nintendo Switch Lite on my wooden desk. It's shown downloading some data for the game Starlink: Battle for Atlas.

Always reminds of this little weirdo with his spoon.

Nearly missed it again.

Here's all of Peter's friends, family, and fans waiting to greet him at the airport! Isn't that nice!

Photo shows Templehoff airport in Nazi Germany. Massive Nazi flags on flagpoles are flying over the top of a building, in front of which huge crowds are gathered waiting to hear Hitler speak, May 10 1933.

Yay for Bank Holidays!

I didn't know that Rillaks Relics had a presence on Babylon 5 @seanferrick.bsky.social

image shows a screencap from the intro to the TV show Babylon 5. Of interest is a display screen on the left side of the image, showing a man who looks suspiciously like everyone's favourite trader in relics.

Ee Choya!

Well, I finally have them all! Evangelion Units 00, 01, and 02, along with a smaller Unit 08γ. All of these are Meng kits, with 00, 01, and 02 being the largest version at 47cm, and 08γ being their small version at 28cm. Each of these took multiple days to build. #evangelion #modelkits #meng

Photo shows Evangelion Units 01, 00, and 02 from the Rebuild series of Evangelions movies. All share the same basic body structure, being tall and slender, with long arms and legs, and segmented thoracic sections.

Unit 01 on the left is predominantly a metallic purple/blue with neon green highlights, and a has a unique head with a Unicorn style horn in the middle of its forehead. It is carrying a long spear.

Unit 00 in the middle has an almost identical body structure to 01, but is predominantly yellow and grey, with white highlights. It has a unique head sculpt, featuring a single glowing red eye. She is carrying twin daggers.

Unit 03 has an identical body structure to 00, this time the predominant colour is red, with white and yellow highlights. She is carrying a rifle. Her face sculpt is also unique, in that she has four green eyes, and the head is shaped to be reminiscent of ancient Japanese warrior helms.

Unit 08γ (The γ is otherwise known as the word Gamma) is much smaller, but shares the exact same body type, but this time there are some highly noticeable differences. She has bracing bolted to her arms, starting at the wrist, and going all the way to the shoulders, on both arms. Her head sculpt is also unique as it features 2 large upswept spikes on either side of the face, and a third in the centre at the rear. She also has 8 neon green eyes on the front of her face.

Post shows screencap of the game character Luigi giving his infamous death stare. This has been posted for no reason in particular.

Tell them I'd be happy to help... I've got a whole box load.

Saw this old Steam ad on Reddit, and was immediately reminded of @nellucnhoj.bsky.social

Image shows how the Steam gaming website looked in 2005 with a drab green colour scheme and. Various windows show ads for Counter Strike and Half-Life games, including the "New" Half-Life 2. The image of Gordon Freeman in the Half-Life 2 ad reminds me of John Cullen!

Why are so many Reddit mods fucking twats? I posted this up in the Am I The Asshole sub, about a young gay man experiencing bigotry from his fathers new GF. His father told his son that he "has to respect other peoples opinions" instead of defending his kid. I wrote this response, and got banned.

The text in the image reads as follows:

To be incredibly blunt, your dad values his own comfort more than his own son. There is no reason on Earth why a parent should tell their child that suffering bigotry is something they should "Respect". I learned the hard way, a very long time ago, that "blood relative" doesn't mean love. You are not the asshole here, and I don't think that word comes anywhere close to describing what your father is, and if I did try to describe it, I'd get banned from Reddit. There's a saying you might have heard;

"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb."

People like to say it's the full version of "Blood is thicker than water", but it isn't. It's made up. The thing is, the fact that it's made up doesn't matter, because it is true. The family we CHOOSE are often far better for us than those we are BORN into. More importantly it means we don't have to accept bullshit from someone just because we are related through the "Water of the womb". We can make our own families.

Well, aside from the decals, EVA Unit 02 is complete! I had just as much fun building this one as I did building my Meng Unit 01, and now I've got Unit 08y on the way as well! #evangelion #hobbys

Come on mother nature.

Image shows a Pokopia style background of white clouds on a sky blue backdrop. In the middle of the image is what looks like a patchwork island, outlined in white. Over the top of that is Pokopia font text that reads "his grave will be a public toilet". Referring to Trump.

Looks like I'm going to be busy for the next few days! #evangelion #hobbys

More of the fake Allistair Heath headlines, because it's silly harmless fun, and I need a good laugh.

Image shows a fake headline, made to sound like it was written by Sunday Telegraph editor, and colossal arsehole, Allistair Heath.

Text reads:

Allistair Heath.
Britain is being held hostage by a radical teeny tiny spandex cult.

Michael@tactical-grace· Feb 26

Well hey there!

Image shows a bot generated (Not that crappy AI stuff mind you) Sunday Telegraph headline, done in the style of Alistair Heath, a man so staggeringly negative that being within ten feet of him causes physical pain.

The text reads:

Alistair Heath.
Ska is a Marxist Trojan horse designed to address the working class.

Michael@tactical-grace· Feb 26

Per my last, another:

As with the last post, this image also shows a generated, fake headline written in the style of terminal bore and person who absolutely does not get invited to good parties, Allister Heath, editor of the Sunday Telegraph. The text reads:

Allister Heath.
Starmer's dickless fuckwit regime will make Britain a third-world backwater.

Michael@tactical-grace· Feb 26

Cheese.

Image shows a fake article headline in the style of Allister Heath, editor of the Sunday Telegraph, famous for being the most depressing doomsayer in the press. The text reads:

Allister Heath.
Britain's descent into cheese madness is terrifying to behold.

"Light snowfall" says the weather app. *Looks outside this morning to find 20+ CM of snow everywhere* "Fuck."

Photo shows the main street running through a Bavarian farming village. The road has been ploughed, and my neighbour has done a bit of the footpath, but everything else is buried under at least 20CM of soft, fluffy snow. There is a huge snow covered tree on the far side of the road, and the gates to my drive at the bottom of the picture are completely coated in snow, making them look like solid gates, instead of the chain link they actually are.

I'd like to buy that chap dinner...

Michael@tactical-grace· Jan 20

I bought this In October of last year, and got myself one pair of IEM's to go with it. This is my collection now, and there's another pair of IEM's already on their way, lol.

I would 100% recommend the Snowsky Echo Mini from Fiio. This thing is awesome in every respect.
