"...while the wretched Denet, whose mind was barely an ember of what it had once been, kept calling for the deployment of the century of monoliths he had mislaid before the Great Sleep."

The only cereal mascot that I feel confident isn’t a virgin.
I know what you’re doing right now. You’re thinking “Fred Flintstone has a child! A baby that had her own cereal!”
Pebbles was brought by the stork, you fool! Don’t come to my house on Christmas morning playing games you cannot win.

Sugar Bear was fucking everything that didn't fuck him first. He was the only cereal mascot that always had gas station boner pills on him.

the one thing missing from Warhammer 40K is a really good excuse to have ridiculous factions interact socially, especially in the tabletop gaming. A big advantage of the old Rogue Trader implied setting was that it was somewhere space marines and orks clearly sometimes got drinks together.

I'd almost go so far to say that part of the plot and theme here is that as much as the characters around him prickle against Superman/Clark's intense cringe sincerity, that is precisely the action that is making them better - they prickle in part because he is fundamentally right.

Reminds me of this under-resourced Ukrainian army officer who, nevertheless, described successfully terrorizing a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math."
Someone commented, saying, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

ok similar premise to The Santa Clause except, while traversing America, Santa gets shot and killed over and over again by guys who then immediately become Santa, knowing full well their likely fate

In October 1989, my father and I hunted up and down the South Shore of Massachusetts looking for the Turtles, finally finding them at King’s Castle Land. My dad then put away until Xmas. The Great Turtle Hunt remains one of my fondest childhood memories.
Playmates and Viacom will not be renewing their licensing agreement for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Their partnership will end on December 31st, 2026 - bit.ly/4axAYDu

Sure Playmates has its issues but they are one of the only toy companies still trying to make action figures that appeal to kids and adults while still being affordable. If the license is going to Mattel or Hasbro we can expect more toys pushing the $30 price range.

The rare case where “the end of an era” isn’t being hyperbolic. The original 1987 five-part animated miniseries was commissioned by Playmates as a promotion for the toy line. It’s not a stretch to say the TMNT would not be the cultural icons they are today if not for Playmates.

"It is a grotesque parody of the bazaar at Marrakech, as if dumb animals had been granted only the amount of sentience required to mock humanity."
This is some of the greatest writing, period.
