The people who use LinkedIn like an actual social media platform and not just a begrudging necessity for employment all come off like absolute sociopaths.

I loved Hereditary so I keep meaning to watch Midsommar, but I've seen both Wickerman movies and while they might be a laugh with friends, they aren't actually good movies so I guess that's why I still haven't gotten around to watching Midsommar yet. Weapons was fun once it got past the...

I also got my Devil yesterday, but was too sleepy after a long day of work to really do much with him. I know a lot of folks complained about the size of his head in the initial photos, but he feel reasonably proportioned in hand.

I could only find three articles that showed their work. One claimed it was worth $8.9 billion in 2023, the second said $8.5 this year, and the third said $7.4 in 2024. I went with the most conservative estimate and rounded up $100 million for inflation. However, I'd take them all with a grain...

As I mentioned above, it took the Horsemen a couple of months to ship me a replacement Poxxus bow, but I emailed customer service about getting a replacement Kurnn Ray head last Wednesday and I just got a shipping notification last night. That was delightfully quick service!

It's clear that we aren't blind box collectors, but blind boxes are the absolute hottest selling toy market at the moment. The global action figure market is somewhere around $7.5 billion, whereas the global blind box market is something like $24 billion. I understand the Horsemen wanting to get...

Got the shipping notification for my Jersey Devil yesterday. 4H said they think it'll take 3 weeks to get them all shipped so it feels good to have my figure out the door in the first couple days of shipping.

Option 1: Grab Lady Avarona from BBTS for $37 and a male elf torso from eBay for $12-$20. She has the spiky "evil" forearms and shins and feet, but you'd be replacing all of her feminine parts with the resin Souls parts. You might have to paint the male elf torso black or silver, depending on...

Oh man! Looks like I missed a great conversation in here yesterday. I love Scorsese, but most of his films are about masculine relationships, the good and the toxic, so if you don't have many or any traditional male friendships in your life, his movies are going to bounce off you the way Sinners...

Chinese copyright law and really their entire legal system is corrupt to the bone. I say this as someone who has studied and loves Chinese culture. Unless you ALSO copyright or trademark your IP in China, a Chinese company can file the copyright or trademark on your IP and they will technically...

4H customer service was very quick to say they'll send a replacement head, although from my previous experience with a broken Poxxus bow, it might take a few months to receive it. Still, I'd rather get a free replacement head a few months from now instead of paying $20-$30 to buy one on eBay and...

I've been hankering for a good terror bird from this line for a few years. I'm excited to see some concept art and pre-pro samples!

I just read a couple think pieces explaining the racist undertones of the vampires' integrationist message so I guess those were lost on my white perspective, but I also just disagree with folks on either side of the political spectrum arguing that segregation can be beneficial.

More horror movies for the pile. Nosferatu (2024) - Really enjoyed this one. I still think Herzog's version is the best, but this had great performances all around and I appreciate the different character approach to Orlok. Weapons - I hated the teacher and her story so much that I almost...

Got my Cosmic ladies from the Thraxxon wave yesterday and I'm pretty happy with both of them. The coat on Kurnn is great, other than it hides all of her other fun details and paint. I'll probably leave it off of her in the long run. Uularia provides some nice proportional contrast against the...

Stephen Miller, a.k.a. Naziferatu, must be staked down into his coffin and buried.

I know these 6-7" figures are already on the pricey side and everyone has their own metric for what they consider "too much", but when they released Demistros a couple of years ago I saw plenty of con-exclusive variants with clear green heads and hands pop up on eBay for just $10 above retail. I...

This dumb-as-rocks motherfucker. His argument is that settled law is never really settled (until it's settled the way he wants). Then in his very next sentence he says, "But it should — the precedent should be respectful of our legal tradition..." What the fuck does he think stare decisis is...

I've heard a lot of complaints about various wizards' belts struggling to stay closed over their robes, but the only robed figure I own is Red Death and I stripped him down to his skivvies so I haven't experienced those issues myself. Thorasis has a full surcoat, but it hasn't given me any...

I love my original Scaphoid, but that new Scaphoid sure is tempting. I've been trying to game out the cost in my head to pick up the parts I really want from him on eBay and I think it might be cheaper just to buy the whole figure and pop and swap to my heart's content.

I've been on a recent horror movie streak now that things are feeling nice and autumnal. The Dead Zone - A fun concept and some quality performances from Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen, but it has a lot of flat spots in which nothing much happens. The Mummy (1932) - After the success of...

That's usually what it takes. The leopard has to eat their face or the face of a loved one before they understand why voting for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party was a bad move.

If it helps maintain the illusion, this is how I wear my hair.

They definitely aren't centrist conservatives, but Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson have both spoken out against Carr at the FCC openly threatening ABC over Kimmel. I still think they're both slime balls and "speaking out" against something is the lowest-effort thing they could do, but the cracks in...

I grew up in Utah, but my family isn't Mormon. My choices are my responsibility, but being an outsider in a homogeneous monoculture can put a chip on your shoulder, especially when you're young. There weren't a lot of us in the 90s, so we heathens stuck together and most of us rebelled young and...
