There's never really a bad time to post this clip but it'd be a tragedy if nobody posted it THIS time.

Oh good, there's still an Ultraman somewhere, though not as prominent as the one on a shelf by the front door in season one. There was an Ultra Seven poster in the original stage show as well. Between those and some Godzilla toys (not to mention the bit in Big Adventure), it's nice he was a toku fan

Maybe I'll just blitz through the season 5 material in the hero academia manga, I really do want to catch up but damn I don't want to watch it while it's bad

Someone has just restored "Daicon 3" from a rare 8mm copy. It's the best version to date. >> archive.org/details/zgfp...

Perfect screenshot. Worf as a focal point is already killer, then your eyes travel to Data in the friar haircut and you think "this can't possibly get any better," and then there's the finishing blow of Geordi in his space visor plucking a lute

the 90s was crazy because they'll be like "yea this show was completely unremarkable bargain bin slop, forgotten dime-a-dozen mass produced garbage forgotten as soon as it came out" and the show looks like this

Damn I wish there were more Culture novels to read

a classic

boardwalk above, atlantic city, new jersey, 1985

there should be a term for this. over the last 3 years i have seen so many people get negatively polarized by social media into becoming an idiot

no but now i ahve to

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

Every time I return to LA I like to visit the giant vacant fucking lot near where I used to live in Chinatown, right next the $150mn metro station. I lived there in 2015. Ten years, three relationships, two graduate degrees, two presidents later, the lot remains. It will probably outlast me.

Honestly weird that the frontier models do not diverge that much in terms of abilities, prompt adherence, and other factors. Whether you pick any of the big American closed source models or the Chinese and French open models, they are all very similar to each other, and have been consistently.

one of my longstanding takes is that car manufacturers should be forced to install mandatory speed limiters in every new vehicle and people react to that like I'm advocating to strip them of their right to free speech

I'd like to see a massive 242 prosecution of everyone involved with Abrego, including Noem, Bove, Blanche, and the immigration judge that falsified an order.

im genuinely so proud of my spidersona look at herrrrr 🥺🩷

In the last Presidential election several people saw it as a choice between the usual political corruption and lots and lots and lots of open corruption and they chose the latter. That isn't even as smart as cynicism.

During the presidential election I thought that by around now we would be looking back thinking it was really weird AI was barely a topic. I don't think we're there yet, progress has been slower than I expected (There has still obviously been a lot of progress)

Please let me turn off retweets for individuals

One of the most baffling yearly trends endure on sites like this are people discussing how much they don't care about various award shows. Year after year the same people saying this. You know what I don't care about? The French National Cricket team. That's why you've never heard me talk about it!

oh wow Anthropic is going to IPO www.cnbc.com/2025/12/03/a...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free. every bit of cruelty, boasting, slander, and persecution was for absolutely fucking nothing.

Nationally, housing inventory should return to 2017 levels in 2026 according to Compass, and I agree. There’s just no longer a shortage of housing at a national level: youtu.be/ApB4v5T8pgw?...

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map. This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026. The vote failed big, 19/31. The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

entirely predictable result of backlash, reflexive IP law support, and poor thinking. i made this meme in 2023

BREAKING: For a second time in a week, a grand jury in Virginia has REFUSED to INDICT NY AG Letitia James . 99.6% of all cases presented to a federal grand jury result in an indictment. The chances of the same case being brought to a grand jury and failing twice are about 1:40,000

I'm always surprised at how little wage benefit there is in being bilingual language

There’s no need to treat these people as anything but the sordid rabble of crooks and grifters and subnormal bigots that they are.

When I saw the first startup in this field I was not impressed with their thermo. But they have gotten better, people I consider smart and knowledgeable have shifted views, and it looks like people are putting real money on table. Might still be wrong, but likely not due to a trivial reason.

Hideaki Anno just announced via the khara website that Gainax is officially dead and gone as a corporate entity as of December 10th: www.khara.co.jp/2025/12/11/2...

this is exactly what tons of artist say about doing art but we are expected to take that seriously for some reason (I think we should ban certain forms of ML automation because I think it is liable to literally kill us all, not because of luddism)

There is injustice in the world but America is blessed and here the public only gets what it deserves

Technology Connections works harder on his "No Effort" videos than I have ever worked on anything in my life

The decline of democracy in the US means you can’t visit the US if you commented on the decline of democracy in the US

missed my chance 😭😭

Immigration restrictionists don’t want to just say “we’re doing it for racist reasons” so they feel compelled to make up economic reasons (this is from the new NSS) that only make sense if your underlying economic theories are terrible, and you end up being governed by morons.

allowing the sale of H200s to China is so laughably dumb it's kinda unbelievable and all I can say is "you get what you vote for"

I may be face blind, I was just completely guessing at random psyc.bbk.ac.uk/e/facememory...

Maria Ushiromiya character req

LA really should be the greatest city in the world, absolutely wild what these people squander

There are so, so, sooo many ways AI can go disasterously wrong once it gets VERY good

To my mutuals: Did you know there's a state in Northern India that's majority Baptist?

Bro I hate this girl Anna Karenina, she's got me sick to my stomach 😭

There is no point along the chain of command—from then-VADM Bradley down to the crew member triggering the missile—where anyone has any excuse whatsoever for giving or following that order.

I finally finished my first ever 3D character!

Patti reacts to all the likes and follows

I understood slop to mean approximately "content that makes money if spammed out cheaply but that no one would knowingly, affirmatively choose to consume" but people mostly seem to mean "thing I do not like"

Anime inspirations: Streets of Fire (1984) Fusing 50s rock-and-roll aesthetics with 80s cybernoir dystopia, SoF was an influential cult hit in Japan. One of the most direct influences can be seen in Bubblegum Crisis, with Priss' performance an homage to SoF's Ellen Aim and the Attackers.
