    I kinda respect the whole 'putting the big picture above my frivolous hobby' in spite of the many, many disagreements I surely have with this guy over what the big picture ought to look like.

    there's gonna be so much government-enforced sanctimony when Trump dies. I'm already dreading it!

    Muppets (including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock)

    I'm not surprised we are getting deep cuts from the early Sesame Street years given that most of the people buying these will be adults. but if they start making figures from current SS, no way we're not gonna get Rocco

    I could be wrong about that too but maybe not as wrong as I could have been. [shrug]

    the shooter's casings had references to an Italian anti-fascist song. I know his family is MAGA but we all know how kids love to rebel against their upbringing. I'm going to entertain the thought that the shooter hated Kirk for some of the reasons we hated Kirk.

    that is something I think about, how it's pretty much accepted in popular culture that one shouldn't feel sorrow when Nazis and open white supremacists are killed. although usually when that is brought up it's about groups from the past and not the groups operating today. like, "Yeah if I had...

    it would be nuts if the guy who shot Kirk was even more right-wing (I believe the technical term is 'groyper') though not comforting since that would mean those people a) exist and b) have easy access to firearms

    yeah I might have jumped too fast on that, apologies.

    a lot of awful people throughout history had children. I don't think merely having children automatically makes somebody more virtuous than somebody who doesn't.

    there are plenty of Cartoon Network shows that could tempt me but some might not 'work' in 3-D so well.

    I like that idea but dammit if only they were in a small scale so they wouldn't be so expensive. especially since a lot of these cartoon designs aren't exactly detailed enough to justify such large figures (in my opinion). this better not turn into another Super7 situation

    and obviously I know the US's support for Israel is not contingent on the support of its Jewish population. Joe Biden is not Jewish, Kamala Harris is not Jewish, Donald Trump is not Jewish, etc. you all know what I'm saying.

    it's a very crude way to analyze this but we all know that being a victim does not prevent one from victimizing others. which is why I don't think it is very useful to conflate Zionism with Judaism. like I said earlier, because I am a non-Jew if anybody is going to effectively talk my friends...

    I have some friends (of maybe ex-friends, not sure yet) with opinions on the Israel-Palestine thing that diverge from mine. they detest Netanyahu's government and as far as I can surmise are not 'genocidally minded' people. (and are not Trump voters either if that's relevant) but I know that...

    yeah King of the Hill is tempting.... I'm assuming the high prices are due to small production runs which is 'logical' but then I must question whether it is logical for me to spend hundreds of dollars on four or five figures.

    I guess we are reaching a point where more and more mainstream politicians, journalists, pundits, etc. feel safe to speak out against Israel's genocide. though it's far too late for so many Palestinians that saying 'I told you so' has no catharsis. (not just for the dead but for the living too)...

    I might be a bit naive but I truly thought that the vast majority of Trump voters already knew about Trump and Epstein's relationship and just didn't care, just like they didn't care about all of Trump's other sex crimes I'm wary of getting my hopes up but I'm very curious to see how Ol' Donny...
