Found out She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is leaving Netflix in February. This sucks. No official DVD release exists. It paved the way for more LGBTQ rep in animation. It walked so Owl House could run. And like much queer art, studios are happy to let it vanish. Watch it while you still can.

Ranma 1/2 for sure. It wasn't the first anime I ever saw, but it was the one that made me a fan.

First sentence of my new book: written. LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

This is so cool! @squibbons.bsky.social has been really optimizing the speed-run of the PC version of Ultima VI. The record is currently just over 16 minutes, and there's potential to go even lower! (Squibs also developed an awesome randomizer for the SNES version! You should follow them.)

I think we can all agree that KPop Demon Hunters would have been even better if Majima had been in it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jATi...

I was hoping it would ultimately turn out to just be a rumor, but looks like it's confirmed now. Feeling validated in my choice to boycott the game, I guess, but it still sucks. Fascists and bigots ruin everything they touch.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

The farther I get into this first watch-through of the Blacklist, the more ridiculous and just plain silly the show gets. And yet I’m getting more and more invested in all of this glorious, ridiculous silliness. It’s a soap opera, but it’s a James Spader soap opera, so it works.

The problem with asking abolitionists how to prevent violent and sexual crimes is that it presupposes that the current system actually addresses sexual or violent crimes when it categorically does not. The United States has the lowest clearance rates for violent crimes in the developed world.

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.

the problem for transphobes is that at this point nearly everyone has met or at least interacted with a trans person and figured out that they're just people trying to live their lives. this is why they want to ban trans people from existing in public at all costs

doing promo is physically painful for me but i really would love it if you bought or read my newest book that came out a few months ago. i think it’s the best thing i’ve ever made and im so immensely proud of it. simplicitybook.xyz

What a great piece! This just gets better and better as you read. prospect.org/2025/12/11/s...

I have...I have no words. All I can do is hand Andy Serkis his well deserved "worst adaptation of an important literary classic in the history of film" trophy and find a nice corner to cry in. youtu.be/g8wLmj9SiKM?...

Speaking of Angel productions, I keep seeing that trailer for that awful looking King David film, and all I can think is how much it looks like the ad for a shitty mobile game.

Ok this is simply lovely. youtu.be/wimXeVpT8PA?...

Bang AND Blame? In this economy?

At the time I would have said either Uncharted 4 or Hitman, and while I still think both were really solid titles, now I have to say Titanfall 2. I just wish so many folks (including me) hadn’t slept on it for so long.

Bigender folks can and do enjoy playing Halo 3 and they’re still bigender because playing Halo 3 is inherently feminine

This has been in my head all morning. This is the very first song by スピッツ I ever heard, on a mixtape in 1998 a friend made while in Japan. It made me a fan of the band, but I think I can also credit this song with sending me down the JPop rabbit hole in the first place. This is where it all started.

our game is hand-drawn, pixel by pixel.

I don't make myself miserable fighting writer's block. I ride out my demotivated periods, and eventually there's an upswing and I write 50000+ words in like a week. Honestly, I sometimes wonder if there's some bipolar nonsense going on here. Either way, I can feel that motivation building again...

I always get these junk emails for tech training seminars, and one I keep seeing is for "Microsoft PowerBi," and listen, while I certainly appreciate their support of the community, I'm not sure we folks of that particular sexual orientation really need a dedicated software solution.

Me, looking at what my dog leaves on the floor every time she gets remotely stressed or excited.

Polling the hivemind: Since I'm boycotting Fortnite, what's a good alternative? Apex Legends is fun, but I don't like being forced to play on a team (sometimes you just want to solo.) PUBG can't run on Linux. What do you recommend to scratch that itch that runs either under Linux or on the Switch?

I should never be trusted with MS Paint.

objection, your honor - defendant is hypnotizing the courtroom

Logging on, gm

Took the kids to the nighttime Christmas stuff at Disney Hollywood Studios, and while I'm really glad I finally got to go on all the Star Wars rides (which were super fun!) I'm also glad Rock 'n' Roller Coaster was still open - AND we didn't have to sit through that boring Aerosmith intro skit.

kinda just feels like a good time to remind everyone that Kiwifarms is one of the most deeply sociopathic horrors the internet has ever spawned that mercilessly stalks and harrasses people (always in the worst faith you can imagine) you should never take a single piece of their "info" at their word

What’s your “how can one album have so many bangers?” album.

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

I can't find the news article, but there was a meme going around with a screenshot of a story about a group of monkeys (I think chimps) who beat one of their fellow monkeys to death for hoarding food. The caption above the image said "Follow me for more financial advice" 🤣

It goes into that weird thing that genuine appreciation is somehow considered less intellectual than criticism but everybody is getting trained to be such a cynical unfeeling asshole nowadays that I find the smartest people often are the “hell yeah cool song/drawing/story/video” people

one of my fav vids I've done in a while! About the surreal and vaguely evil children's book, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas youtu.be/JNhuqRbahBY?...

Phase one: telling people, in lieu of Xmas presents, to contribute to my "commission an artist to do a cover for my book" fund. Phase two: telling people, in lieu of Xmas presents, to contribute to my "therapy to deal with debilitating anxiety at having to reach out to artists to hire them" fund.

Ranking star wars movies is complicated because there are certain themes that resonate with-- no I'm kidding, in one of them an ewok hugs Han Solo's leg and says "Ay Chihuahua." So that's number one with a bullet

Annoyances finding a Fortnite replacement: PUBG and Apex Legends don't run under Linux. Both used to, but neither support it any more. PUBG no longer runs on PS4, and while Apex does, it looks like it's eventually on the way out there too. I think my only option at this point is Apex on Switch.

Well! Here comes ol' Jotaro Kujo! Good ol' Jotaru Kujo... Yes, sir! Good ol' Jotaro Kujo... How I hate him!

Dune is the first and perhaps only story in its own genre: force-fremenization

I named my fists Scooby and Shaggy because they're kind of weak and jittery, but are surprisingly good at making sandwiches.

Between Harry Potter shit, AI slop, & Tim Sweeney Tim Sweeneying all over the place, I'm done w/ Fortnite. It sucks: I love the game & felt like I'd finally found a comfortable streaming niche, but you gotta draw a line somewhere. PUBG can scratch my BR itch, but I'm thinking of branching out too.
