I think this is the longest I've ever seen the line for security at Haneda.. I'm about ready for the tourism boom to settle down a bit.

The kids are now ISS astronauts.

Came to see some space stuff

Every time I walk by Saitama Shintoshin I am reminded of @mikemignola.bsky.social @johnarcudi.bsky.social having Kaiju destroy it in BPRD. It was like two panels but left a lasting impact!

A few shots from NYC in the snow. Shot on the Lomo MC-A and digitized with my Valoi Easy120. #filmphotography #believeinfilm

Thanks to the public holiday yesterday, we got an extra hour of sleep because I forgot to turn my alarm back on 😬😬😬

We did it y'all. We survived the new year's holidays.

Happy new year from Japan! あけおめことよろ

To me, my X-Mas!

First batch of cookies with the 4yos is done! Pretty they ain't but tasty all the same!

Finally went back and finished Die so I can start Loaded. It was great. I'm feeling slightly defeated by the fact that every comic I read these days seems to be written by Kieron 😅

I'm gonna be so bummed when this mug eventually breaks. It's not only cute, its the perfect size for my morning coffee too. #merchtodon

The kids were playing with my genbakantoku today, gleefully snapping and flashing in each others faces... Didn't realize there was film in there til I heard the rewind motor 😂 lets see if there's anything worthwhile on this one. I have no idea when I loaded it.

Had to bring a few extra things for the office today, and when we prepared to leave our son asks "are you going on an airplane?" Dang, they're catching on!

Wow the trains are messed up something fierce today. Even standing room in the Shona Shinjuku green car is maxed out..

Oh fun, guess I caught the daughter's bug. Just in time for today's public holiday!

In case you were wondering how hot it was today...

Had a few hours to ourselves so we stopped by one of my old favourites in Shinjuku, Sangokuichi. The area was super crowded so I was really surprised they didn't have a line! The salad Udon still hits the spot.

Japanese burger king finally got caramel sauce sundaes - and its not a limited thing!! I'm unreasonably happy about this lol

So since they pulled paw patrol off of Netflix and put it on @paramountplus.com where it doesn't have German audio anymore, we picked up some DVDs while back in Austria. At least Japan has the same region code right? Well guess how many of these disks my player will read.

Just randomly found a category that I never thought about but makes a lot of sense - CD drives that connect to a smartphone via WiFi and convert CDs without a PC (which a lot of Japanese people don't own). Would've loved to own one of these when I was going to indie shows frequently!

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

My wife gave me the afternoon off so I'm at their cinema! Two huge comic book movies at the same time, what a glorious time!

We're on a boat y'all

Omg I found a half stairs half escalator entrance in Madrid. Thought this was a Tokyo thing...

VW means something different in Madrid.

Good morning from Madrid.

What a day to be traveling in the afternoon. Man I hope I have a Lounge to use at haneda...

I get the people snapping pictures of trains. The ones recording the announcements i will probably neber understand...

I'm this close to ditching OneDrive and moving my photos to Google Drive... I like how OD displays them the best, but the android app is garbage and just pretends the most recent folder doesn't exist even if you refresh.

This weather is some bull

Randomly remembered I had a black panther Lego set my best friend gifted me when I was in Vienna, so we started building it (the kids know BP from the Spidey cartoon).

Man listening to off panel is so hard, I always want to tweet right back at @davidharper.bsky.social with my own takes 😅 congrats on 500!

ext photo walk/meetup of the Tokyo Social Photo Club will be next Sunday (June 1) morning in Shinjuku. No photo experience necessary, everyone is welcome, and it's 100% free. Sign up for the newsletter (link below) for updates and more info. substack.com/@tokyophoto

LOL at anyone in comics thinking they have a ReSpOnSiBiLiTy to call out "bad comics," my good bitches: we are in comics, where probably 85% of us need a second or third job to get by, where many still have to be their own PR even when they get a deal; not one fuck is needed, not one should be given.

This cafe is too bright, i can't see anything in The last of us 😂

Off to the airport we go. Shanghai has been swell. I'm so thankful for translation apps, the level of basic English among service staff here remains incredibly low. Thought I might pop by Yu garden yesterday but opted for dinner with friends instead. Can't complain.

Found our daughter playing with this today, and wondered when she will understand what it is... It belonged to her great-grandmother, and once housed needles, in a darker time long long ago. Maybe I'll try to get rid of the rust and paint it a color she likes.

Got myself cocoichi because I thought the kids would be least likely to steal it but they still ate like a third?? I guess spicy doesn't work as a deterrent anymore??

My superpower is definitely going to shops on their day off.

I was going to post this article this weekend but Duolingo's recent doubling down on replacing humans with generative AI pushed me to get it out sooner. Here's a list of amazing apps for learning Japanese that DON'T use generative AI! #cancelDuolingo jtalkonline.com/japanese-stu...

You now have T-minus 3 days to back #TheExpanse comic by Wes Chatham, Francesco Pisa and me. The option to override this campaign expires in T-minus 3 days.

Did a bit of comparison with the a7riv today and... Just realized I shot all of them in jpg 😂 judging from the back monitor my a7cii might be in trouble, these look crazy good...

Movie you've seen more than 6 times, no Star Wars or LOTR.

Omiya station is full of people with suitcases. So y'all got 11連休 huh fuck off

Raising them right! 😁

Man I'm do tired of the overdone HDR on smartphone photographs... Bring back shadows!

Reading the last chapters of @aptshadow.bsky.social's Lords of Uncreation while listening to epic ES Posthumus music has been a mood. I'm going to miss these characters. (Especially Olli ofc)
