#SatoshiKon is one of my favorite filmmakers of all time. His medium just happened to be #animation. #PerfectBlue. #TokyoGodfathers. #Paprika. #ParanoiaAgent. And, of course, the topic for this video, #MillenniumActress. Pancreatic cancer took him at age 46. youtu.be/1R1rOH4ws…
Artist #MichaelGolden is one of those quiet influences from the Bronze Age of #comics who has had an outsized impact on others over the decades and even considered one of the godfathers of #Image comics. #ComicTropes digs in to his work and impact. youtu.be/2SH5GdCum…
If you’ve never heard of “Wakfu” and enjoy animated series, then you might want to watch this #YouTube video about the #French series. If you know #Wakfu, then you’ll be pleased to know a fifth season has been funded. #animation www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: RPWL - Beyond Man and Time (2012) #progrock #artrock Founded as a German Pink Floyd cover band, the group transitioned to original works. Initial impression is a blend of Floyd and Porcupine Tree. I like it! #music #RPWL www.youtube.com/watch
Oh, this is right up my #animation alley. Very funny … and weird … and nigh incomprehensible … and awesome AF. #action #short www.youtube.com/watch
I see a lot going on here and I’m liking it a lot. As one might expect, a lot of references made to those things of the #90s they’re paying homage to with #BulletTime #animation #shorts #SDCC www.youtube.com/watch
Oh, this is just fantastic. I can’t wait!! #SpinalTap The snake feeds upon itself!! #music #heavymetal www.youtube.com/watch
Episode 3 of #MECHWEST is the best yet. Definitely subscribe and share to show your support and help them make more episodes. This kind of indie #animation work takes of lot of dedication. www.youtube.com/watch
Nobody asked for it, so here it is! It’s THE LIST of all the shows Geoff mentions. Enjoy, because this is a loaded Summer season! #anime #animation #summer2025 #TV www.youtube.com/watch
Bargain Basement, though I’m not sure that’s a fair evaluation. A lot of these look really …
Corruption. Pure and simple. You have to wonder how many secret documents #TFG’s cronies have destroyed so far… and how many more they have yet to get to. #uspol #jeffreyepstein #childsextrafficking #lies #damnedlies #fascism www.axios.com/2025/07/0…
#Republicans who go on #CNN repeat the same talking points every time. WTF can’t the hosts and #Democrats prepare in order to respond? Do NOT give them credit for ANYTHING!! Stop them from lying. Refute their bullshit. BE PREPARED!! #journalism #uspol #NeoLibsArePartOfTheProblem
#Miami #Florida #Republicans “postponed” the upcoming 2025 elections until November 2026, ensuring that time-limited officials who are no longer eligible to run again will remain in power for another year. Voters did not have a choice. #fascism #lawless #autocracy www.miamiherald.com/news/loca…
What an amazing group of Bolivian #Cholita #skateboarding enthusiasts who share their love of skating while honoring their ancestry by wearing traditional Pollera. They are working to make their dream of building a skate park come true. #culture #bolivia www.youtube.com/watch

Late last year, during a trip to New York City, David Ellison quietly made time for a meeting that said as much about his worldview as it did about his interest in media. According to people familiar with the matter, the Hollywood scion set time aside on his busy calendar to meet with Bari Weiss, the founder of The Free Press. Ellison, like a number of C-suite executive types, has long been an admirer of Weiss’ style of journalism, …
I’ve been having a lot of bad days of late dealing with a wide range of pains, brain fog, an accursed tinnitus that averages an 8 out of 10 on the loudness scale, unending exhaustion, and other issues. As a writer by trade, these are all crushing, but I keep trying to post.
What I need is to write something substantial, but for the past year or so I’ve been unable to do much. I haven’t blogged in weeks and filling my days with playing video games, watching YouTube, and drowning out the ringing in my head with music sessions in my AirPods is entirely unproductive.
In the middle of July I shall turn 57 and I’m nowhere near done yet, but the ongoing issues stemming from Long Covid, a bad motorcycle accident in 1990, …
It’s that time again! Every three months, or “cour” as seems to be the preferred terminology, Geoff Thew puts out his guides for Best and Worst #anime of said season. This round is for the freshest trash for Spring 2025. Make sure to watch along… youtu.be/PCNT1xSW3…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Cure - The Head on the Door (1985). Fantastic album. Early Cure is often lumped in with electronica and new wave, but I think they’re really a proto alternative rock band using the tools that had become available. #music #KROQ #80s www.youtube.com/watch
What could possibly go wrong? #TFG’s just joking? #DOGE did it? Nuculer [sic] stuff is woke? Or maybe just get people out of the way of ramping up nuclear weapons programs. #uspol #NRC #science arstechnica.com/tech-poli…
I’ve decided I’m going to start a mobile carrier. TKN-Mobile has already started installing billions worth of 10G towers and our AI robots are crafting phones in America with magic. $5 a month for unlimited! Pre-orders open next week! #TFG #capitalism #scams #uspol appleinsider.com/articles/…
Judge Young of the US District Court asks, “Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?” Yes, they have, and no they do not. The judge appointed by #GOP hero Ronald Reagan ruled against the #TFG administration in the #NIH case citing blatant discrimination. Doi. #uspol #law www.salon.com/2025/06/1…
When I heard the first bars of #WeatherReport’s “Birdland” I laughed, knowing that it’s essentially a drumless track, but was excited to hear what Brann Dailor (Mastodon) would do with it. The result is driving and energetic! #jazz #drums #video www.youtube.com/watch
