If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Can't wait for people in my meatspace echo chamber to Agree The Fuck out of my new t-shirt by @joeyesposito.bsky.social. Feels great being CORRECT

Then it probably SHOULD, and hopefully WILL.

£80. Apparently, the price tanked hard after the Hasbro version the other year.

Oh my.

I'm hearing Kapow have some good price Classified reorders too. This is a good nerd week!

Hi there, UK Comics Collectors! Does anybody have copies of, or is able to source, issues 12 - 13 of Titan Books Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magazine from 2008? I'm affiliated with a project dedicated to archiving and preserving ancillary media, and those are the last two needed from that run.

Every single year.

@tfnationltd.bsky.social day 1 haul.
X-9 RAVAGE!!!! <3

Does anyone need the Botcon 2006 Beast Wars prequel comic? Looking for £70. TFN pickup available.

I have no idea how many Tamiya kits I've built over the years, but I do know I enjoyed every single one of them.
RIP, and thank you for SO many happy hours over more than 4 decades of my life.

The only Beast Era related kids' meal stuff I got was a complete set of Beast Machines happy Meal toys, and a couple of the Berast Wars ones.

I'm not sure if I'm going to bother with the Skybound TF comic after the latest issue. They did something utterly distasteful and overly grim just to hammer home a point they'd already repeatedly made. It just felt really wrong to me.
I think I'm out.

Just so we're clear - does this mean you are planning to continue using generative AI in the future?

A near complete set of 1980s Palitoy Action Force Q Force toys. Nearly all of them have their original packaging.

Palitoy Action Force - Q Force
Nearly all of it, in fact. I only need a carded Battle Gear to complete the set, and I only need a carded Sonar Officer & Aqua Trooper (I have a carded Leviathan somewhere) to have them all with their original packaging.

I found these in a box. Quite probably the first Lego figures I ever had as a kid. <3

Are they completely incompatible though? I thought the reason Grevious is couging in ROTS was because Mace Windu crushed his chest with the Force in Tartakovsky's Clone Wars.

(I always LOVED that touch)

Lithgow declined to comment on the strange dark mold visible on his wallpaper, citing "it speaks and I listen" before claiming there was no mold present anywhere in his home while thick reams of ichor began spilling out of his eyes and mouth

A hamster / mister saddlebags with EXTREMELY chubby cheeks

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

Behold - the absolute coolest toy ever made.

Oh fuck, the Hulk is horny

Yup.
Beta blockers + asthma = FUNERAL. I personally have one less person in my life because of this.
Anywhere worth its salt won't even suggest them to an asthmatic.

Also as someone who tried a LOT of meds, lost himself completely and nearly died on them:
If you find meds are NOT working for you, GO BACK and try something else.

NO beta blockers if you're asthmatic though. They can KILL you.

Got to love TK Maxx - went in looking for cheap Transformers, came out with 2 different types of fancy salt and the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

Pro-Palestinian rhetoric does NOT constitute material support for a terrorist organization.

Criticism of the State of Israel does NOT constitute antisemitism.

The MLRS addon for the Solomon GP02 arrived today! It includes a complete set of transparent armour. Nice!
Thanks to JL Gunpla UK for getting this for me so quickly!

I picked up Cosmos & Armada Wheeljack in Smyths on Saturday. So nice to be able to actually GET Cosmos! And Wheeljack is a superb use of the Sideswipe mould. I hope I can find the original at TFNation this year.
