Elected Democrats refused to hold Trump accountable for his many crimes committed in full view of the public because they didn’t want to look like they were targeting political opponents.

Which allowed Trump to get back into power and immediately start targeting his political opponents.

It’s like all my Christmases come at once.

On the same day those McFarlane cards arrived, this showed up as well.

The Lightning Collection Mighty Morphin Green Ranger.

Another set completed.

All the sets completed.

All twelve of the 1992 Comic Images Spider-Man prism cards are *finally* together here in my collection. 😃

Not thrilled that the seller of these Spider-Man McFarlane Era prism cards sent all six of ‘em internationally in this ancient plastic case with next to no protection…but they got here fine and weeks ahead of schedule, so I guess all’s well that ends well.

Can’t take it back.

That ship has sailed.

Upgraded to wireless headphones. I feel naked without the wire.

I’m watching the BBC Ozzy documentary.

Ozzy was and will always remain my favorite musician of all time.

When he died, family and friends told me they were surprised how well I was taking it, such that being a fan was a part of how they see me.

But watching this is fucking *hard*.

Was that a stage in the Dreamcast game?

That *does* score some pretty major points, yeah…

Love that I got her and we got our first ever woman prime minister in the space of like 24 hours.

Folks remember Optimus Prime almost entirely because he was the childhood hero who *died* when they were young, but they remember him based on vibes alone.

Same with Soundwave, Bumblebee, and (again, sorry, but I’m right) Starscream.

Soundwave and Starscream had cool voices, BB was cute. That’s it

It’s like MTMTE happens.

A bunch of half-remembered stuff of little-to-no consequence

All the stuff about Transformers that actually matters.

I don’t think anything could dethrone MPG God Ginrai on my list, but just that she is finally, after all this time, *real*.

Yes, ¥10,000 is what is considered a “stupidly low price” these days.
