who called it the rampocalypse and not the cost of living crysis

How is it folks in London (and much of Brtiain) live closer together than in these pics, yet this looks considerably worse to do?

$65 for a t-shirt is INSANE

So I just caught up with the Pokémon Presentation, wasn't bad, but I have two big disappointments from it.
1. Waves/Winds is releasing next year, why not release Gen 10 on the 30th year? This annoys my OCD.
2. WHY IS WAILORD SO SMALL?! THEYRE MEANT TO BE HUGE! THEY WOULD NOT BE IN A CORAL REEF!

I want to... I really do... But I *CANNOT* justify that price!!!

Decided to take the motorbike out for a spin today since this is the first bit of sun we've had this year, wasn't out for long as it's bloody 2C and I don't have any winter gear, but still got a very nice view!

January 16, 2026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Stacie Balkaran — stacie@minneapolisunions.org / 971.291.9486 MINNEAPOLIS LABOR UNION DELEGATION AND LOCAL REGIONAL LABOR BODIES ENDORSE JANUARY 23: DAY OF TRUTH AND FREEDOM NO WORK, SCHOOL, OR SHOPPING MINNEAPOLIS – The Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO along with regional bodies throughout the state, including the Saint Paul Regional Labor Federation, the West Area Labor Council, the North East Area Labor Council and the East Central Labor Council, have joined in solidarity to endorse a powerful unified statewide action on January 23: Day of Truth and Freedom. The Minnesota labor movement is united against the violent ICE occupation of our beloved cities that has directly impacted union members, our workplaces and our families. Workers are essential for our communities to function. Since the ICE campaign of terror began, both immigrant and non-immigrant workers have feared for their safety when going to work, being at work, and coming home from work. Union members and our families are being illegally detained at alarming rates, with workplaces and schools facing increased challenges. Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou, President of the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, shared why union federations are joining this call: “Working people, our schools and our communities are under attack. Union members are being detained commuting to and from work, tearing apart families. Parents are being forced to stay home, students held out of school, fearing for their lives, all while the employer class remains silent. Our labor federations are encouraging everyone to participate on January 23rd. It’s time for every single Minnesotan who loves this state and the notion of truth and freedom to raise their voices and deepen their solidarity for our neighbors and coworkers living under this federal occupation.”

I keep seeing it without a source link, so here it is:

息抜きです

The weather was cold, but the fire in everyone's heart will carry the union to victory!

That normally is the case, yeah, this plays a lot nicer with my RGB to HDMI converter a lot nicer than NTSC consoles from what I've heard! It's one thing I am absolutely thankful for! If you ever want tips/help, feel free to ask 😊

Thankfully mods for NTSC consoles for RGB aren't that bad, only a few solder points, but since I had a PAL model, I had to go with this bad boy which was a nightmare. Even now, if I move the console a little too roughly, I don't get any output :( Soldering to the video out chip is NOT fun.

I indulged myself a little this weekend and bought myself the Gameboy Lego set. Been a fun build. However I am saddened by the fact that:
1. The actual Gameboy games don't fit (slightly too big)
2. The Zelda and Mario stickers use the USA codes rather than whatever region they're bought in

I can probably post an example or something if people wanted but 🤷🏻

I'm just not sure how confident I am in how well this would do. I know there are sites for this that I could sign up to upload recordings for, but I guess I'm lacking on the confidence side (stupid brain telling me folks are lying to me)

Would folks be interested if I started this kind of thing?

This isn't my normal posting, but I don't judge others on what they like.

Who here reads or listens to smut/romantasy/dark romantasy books?

I've been told by a number of my female friends now that I have a good voice for reading and have been asked to read some of the above types of books.

Lovely folks of the hive mind, I have a request of you. I managed to get a new 125CC bike yesterday after my last one was stolen, but this beauty needs a name. I have some ideas but nothing concrete. does anyone have any suggestions for this lovely lady?

Time to relegate my OLED model to it's case and the dock to a shelf

I caved... I was planning to hold out for a special Pokémon edition but I caved... I don't regret it!

Honestly, I thought it was just the original description of the game that everyone seems to put, then I read it properly and was horrified 😂 Definitely looks AI generated to me!!!

Just saw an ebay posting for Pokemon Silver with the following description...

Who knew Silver was in the Hoenn region?

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

I read the first book whilst on holiday on Japan and loved it. Currently working my way through book 2 in between games and work and enjoying it too!

I would but the UK hasn't had it released :(

Heckin chonker of a model kit!

Managed to pull off the heist of the century at Kotobukiya whilst I was in Japan, got a Sturm Tyranny ZOID model for just shy of £80

Gonna be building it live on stream in just over an hour ❤️

On my way back from Japan tomorrow, going to miss being here!
