tonight is the last World Cup game here and I hope everyone who attended gets to experience the magic and wonder of hosting a game in their own neighborhood... roads closed at random, streets filled with stumbling drunks, taxis and Ubers and limos weaving, stopping dead, reversing at random.

my Sentai Sale Selection: if you haven't watched MONTHLY GIRLS NOZAKI-KUN yet now you can for ten bucks, it's laugh out loud funny. Also there is a SubGenius reference www.sentaifilmworks.com/collections/...

Former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter says President Trump "stands alone" in having substantial financial conflicts of interest and that, "for every other executive branch official, it would be a violation." n.pr/4gQq3ro

youtu.be/iSpontXbzKU?... Thanks so much guys, I'm honored

Fun fact: Apparently BEECRAFT were the ones who redesigned the small Galvion toys that went unreleased due to Takatoku's sudden bankruptcy and the show's cancelation so Mark/Select could sell them both domestically and abroad.

So this cop is a total racist who texted totally racist shit, like talking about murdering black people and laments that Hitler lost the war and wants to bring back slavery. His bosses and colleagues all know this. @gregdoucette.bsky.social says, ain't cops great?

Cleaning product or GWAR band member?

Saw the Worldcupmobile today! Entire body totally covered with Sharpie signatures of fans, etc

Wait, you have a mother named Martha who overlooks stupid plot points in Zack Snyder films yet nitpicks everything in Supergirl? I have a mother named Martha who overlooks stupid plot points in Zack Snyder films yet nitpicks everything in Supergirl!

yes, Mr. Dolenz, I *do* have my "Circus Boy" Whitman TV tie-in book on the shelf next to my "Monkees" DVDs, very perceptive of you

Happy Canada Day!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Who is surprised? Is anyone surprised?! Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm at a loss.

President Donald Trump reported more than $1 billion in income from his family's crypto ventures last year, according to an annual financial disclosure released Tuesday.

This seems so messy but I imagine if Tillie Walden's book got optioned, the researcher and historian of the book walden will sometimes credit (sometimes not) would be super pissed to see her work overlooked in favor of what I'm assuming is a tighter and easier to adapt retelling of the same story.

10 years ago, Congress put Puerto Rico's finances under an unelected fiscal board that put Wall Street first. Now Trump is firing its members and opening the door for even more of his Wall Street buddies. It’s time for Puerto Rico to have the right to determine its own future.

we did see the Supergirl Sunday night! I liked it, found it interesting that they're course-correcting towards Boy Scout Superman hard, and so Supergirl is the one that gets to Feel the Big Feelings. I think Siegel & Shuster would have loved the Argo City stuff, very Astounding Science Fiction

A very good write-up for anyone considering this recent investment opportunity at TokyoPop. If you're not tapped into financials, I found this very easy to understand: renaissancejosei.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-...

Manga!

Mamamamamanga! A little peek at what we have on the New Release shelf right now.

Trapped

took the bike out before work to the library and it's steamy out there, kids. Take plenty of breaks and stay hydrated!!

Bro what are you doing? SCOTUS was only 1 vote short of usurping the clear and unambiguous language of the document by judicial diktat Taking a victory lap for that is grim

what the last two AWA's downtown felt like to me, and I think I said this before, but it felt like a cruise, like an all inclusive vacation weekend. Get dropped off at the venue, you're in a sealed environment designed to drain your credit card. The price point is a hurdle for a lot of fans

last repost: that Forbes article is a great look at where convention ticket prices are now and how the game has changed from "small convention for the niche fans" to "basically a three day music festival, but indoors." Considering average music festival prices are $200, anime cons may be a bargain

Speaking of $65 for all four days at Anime Expo, it’s $195 at the door now. 103K turnstile attendance in 2008 compared to 410K in 2026. Uneven economic recovery aside, the unemployment numbers and CPI are higher than last year. I don’t expect people to lobby con. www.forbes.com/sites/kalaic...

Checking in on MAHA day at the American State Fair. Managed to get pretty close to the stage

"bleaker than expected" sounds like a pretty good description for the past few years, to be honest washingtonian.com/2026/06/26/i...

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

Enjoying this press tour so far. www.avclub.com/ben-collins-...

So, from the various things he's said over the years: Dr Oz thinks people who aren't wealthy are fat, lazy, welfare queens who can't afford crudite platters, watch TV all day, and scam insurance companies by, um, not using their insurance. What a poisoned little mind this guy has.

Went to see Supergirl and all I got was this cursed object

Drive-in tonight

man the US is just lockin' up everybody these days

shout out to my home boy here, fervently hoping bitcoin-enabled AI crypto will magically turn him into someone with a spine instead of a weird passive aggressive puddle o' goo
