After 5k likes (now 9k and counting), OP fessed up that he didn't "create the diorama" and credited someone on Facebook who also likely shared it unattributed. These are from thecollector77 on Instagram, who says these (and more like it) are cgi figs:

bluesky being immediately negatively polarized into going with skeets because we were asked not to was the first sign that we were going to make it as a posting site

every true posting forum declares forever war against the mods

As I’ve said before, the problem with β€œthey’re all bastards” is it leaves you unable to see how bad Republicans actually are.

"It seems I was mistaken β€” the princess IS in another castle. I appreciate the correction, and I'll be more careful next time.

But your adventure isn't just about finding the princess β€” it's about the experiences you have along the way, clearing large gaps, kicking turtles, and touching flags."

the strategy the british state are using with trans care is the exact same as with disability benefits; overwhelm undesirables in bureaucracy then definitively remove any positive outcomes, leading to excess death statistics visible from space

Feel like this leads to finding out which of the demon generals is more mercenary than omnicidal and doing a little light collaboration for protection racket shenanigans

Folks...this picture of Linda Hamilton and Bryan Cranston from an episode of MURDER SHE WROTE. I didn't think it was possible for two people to look this 1986.

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

It was... not great. MSP to Orlando in February, so people had a wide range in how warm/cool they were dressed. Air quality was poor. If the exterior weren't so cold it probably would have been intolerably hot instead of just gross and very unpleasant

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

I remain fascinated by people who are 100% all-in on using LLMs at their jobs (and telling everyone that they're doing it) and who appear to have never paused to consider "what value am I personally adding in here, at this point, and why do I think my employers won't eventually figure this out"

Coin used as Leeds bus fare was 2,000‑year‑old currency The coin was handed down to Peter Edwards from his grandfather in the 1950s.

This is the sort of thing a cashless society robs us of, the opportunity to try to get away with paying the bus fare in Carthaginian currency www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I once had a flight so bad they changed federal regulations to never allow it to happen again.

13 hours on the tarmac lined up for the one deicing machine that hadn't exploded from overuse, and they couldn't run the A/C because it needs the engines and they'd suck in deicer fluid and explode
