I don’t know anything about ‘modern music’ but I know Bad Bunny from the absolutely brilliant movie Bullet Train and he was great in it. That’s all I’m gonna say. If you have a problem with anyone based on their ancestry or skin color: fuck off.

Totally dropped the ball on this. Between new baby, job and travel I totally forgot to make our 2025 patch run available outside of the SWC Tokyo trading event. For your convenience I now used Ko-Fi to automate payment and shipping because I'm a mess.

Surprisingly cool little retro toy fair in the countryside. And the prices were so good. Got 6 things including a vintage Indiana Jones and old as well new MotU (the reason we came) for my son for 40 bucks.

Picked this up today and enjoyed it quite a bit. Almost finished it in one sitting (then I had to go, would’ve continued). Can’t recommend it enough #lucaswars

And I still haven’t finished my armor variant I started the moment it came out..

Not there, just some scattered Thuggee cultists.

..the ‘weathering’ looks completely shit, but the the box looks very cool and makes it worth the purchase. For the price you can’t expect more if you don’t put some extra hours of sanding in it. Despite everything it’s my least favorite out of the 4 variants (Denuo Novo, 3D print, fiberglass).

Got the #hasbro #shoretrooper helmet and I have some notes.
While the design looks good overall it (unsurprisingly) looks the most plastic out of all my helmets. The color is also way too yellowish and there are some inaccurate connection lines on the side. It’s also fairly small…

Did I book a trip to Seoul because of or despite #kpopdemonhunters ?

My phone reminded me it’s been 5 years since I visited #outpostone in Germany. This place is absolutely amazing. If I’m not wrong this is the largest collection of life sized displays in the world. All fan made. #starwars #starwarsfan

Uji is known as ‘the place where Matcha is from’ and the temple Bjodo-In (where the unveiling took place originally) that is featured on the 10 ¥en coin.

I’m here for this sort of obscure knowledge. #starwars #starwarslocations

Reposting stuff I shared on Instagram years ago. This is the folding fan some may have seen at Star Wars Celebration this year. Few will know the history. It was presented to Rian Johnson in the town of Uji close to Kyoto during the promo tour for TLJ and later ended up at the local tourist info…

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation.

More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

We the people must never accept government threats to our freedom of speech. Efforts by leaders to pressure artists, journalists, and companies with retaliation for their speech strike at the heart of what it means to live in a free country.

Last week, Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after the government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for freedom of speech in our nation. In an attempt to silence its critics, our government has resorted to threatening the livelihoods of journalists, talk show hosts, artists, creatives, and entertainers across the board. This runs counter to the values our nation was built upon, and our Constitution guarantees.

We know this moment is bigger than us and our industry. Teachers, government employees, law firms, researchers, universities, students and so many more are also facing direct attacks on their freedom of expression.

Regardless of our political affiliation, or whether we engage in politics or not, we all love our country. We also share the belief that our voices should never be silenced by those in power – because if it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us.

This is the moment to defend free speech across our nation. We encourage all Americans to join us, along with the ACLU, in the fight to defend and preserve our constitutionally protected rights.

A graphic listing the names of the more than 400 signers of the ACLU's letter condemning the federal government's retaliation against Jimmy Kimmel. For the full list of signatories, visit aclu.org/kimmel-letter-bk

Can’t see myself watching this multiple times like I did with every other movie.

ST-90019 - Star Wars locations & trooping @st90019.bsky.social · 17d

I think it looks like another season for a tv show and it’s all fine but I don’t see the blockbuster potential. They’re banking too hard on the casual ‘oh it’s baby Yoda’ crowd and die hards to make this a hit. It’s playing it safe. I watched the trailer once and that’s all I need.

ST-90019 - Star Wars locations & trooping @st90019.bsky.social · 17d

Hey that trailer almost makes me forget the cowardly betrayal of all democratic values..

JK

It's OK I guess.

Looks like a fun new season with all the CGI trimmings, but not the movie sensation of 2026.

I like the font tho.

For 250 bucks instead of 15 you get more detail and an inaccurate belt buckle. Vintage 12 inch on the right.
