I'd really love to see Lego release some solid, small minimalist sets aimed at adults for <$20. The cost of sets is getting *nuts*

Lego is absolutely selling sets for *less* than what they likely should cost when you factor in all the pieces, print material, and packaging. I don't think they're like, getting away with robbery here. Just would love more entry points for casual collectors.

I think the most exciting Lego work right now is found in the microbuild community. Lots of folks create tiny sets and post instructions. Like, lookit this little island ?????

Tiny haunted house??? Get outta here

Anyway, if Lego sold bags of minimalist microbuilds for like $7.99 a pop, I would lose my mind and buy as many as I could

There's this guy named Tom who makes these microbuild pastorals and I think about them a lot. I find them delightful and haunting

If this is your jam, I highly recommend trying out bricklink.com. It's a free software that lets you design a Lego build and it automatically generates the instructions and Lego piece list (!!!) I found it easy to use even as someone who tends to fail at 3D software.

This was not #sponcon, but if you want to send me Lego sets, I will not stop you

Okay I'm going to try to explain this, so bear with me. On Tiktok, an entire community has come together to create Ratatouille the Musical. What seemed like a joke has become an incredible undertaking. Or not? Here's how it started, with a call:

One tiktok user, a composer named Daniel, submitted what the community has accepted as the official theme of the Ratatouille musical.

Blake Rouse followed with the Ratatouille Tango, where he plays Linguini, and another tiktok user duets the video to play the role of Colette

I am making *choices* in my d&d game tonight and I'm v worried, please spare a thought for our bravest frog boy from the bog

In d&d, frogs (aka Grung) only live to about 30, so my character Henry is only 10 months old 😭

Game canon: every time we get to a general store, Henry buys whatever hard candy is at the register, and then he gives all of it away to everyone he meets. He's the kindest boy😭

This may be somewhat trivial but the range of motion used in trending dances is rapidly compressing as a result of platforms like Tiktok that enforce the vertical format of the phone and I just find this really interesting.

The electric slide and the waltz were born for the expansiveness of the dance floor. But now, because of the phone format, dances like the Renegade keep arms and legs in so tight that dancers look like they're building up enough kinetic energy to blast off to the moon.

We're gonna have an entire age of dance trends where 95% of the motions are from the waist up, with lots of hand/wrist moves, and facial expressions! That's something we rarely saw in previous dance trends.

I read that the Space Jam franchise has generated $6 billion in revenue

Maybe the best Space Jam fact is that Chuck Jones said he hated the movie, and his reasoning was because Bugs Bunny never would've recruited help and that he would've taken care of the problem in 10 minutes, not an hour and a half.
