I guess Jordan Vogt-Roberts and Oscar Isaac are out?

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is catastrophic.

Not a lot happens in Studio Madhouse's second go-around of this quietly remarkable fantasy anime, but that's where 'Frieren' showcases its deepest magic.

Tell me when I'm telling lies.

"Luckily for fantasy fans looking for a superior magical school story that hasn't already been adapted for the screen, the anime "Witch Hat Atelier" just premiered on Crunchyroll and the show is off to an incredible start."

With Hat Atelier is, no exaggeration, one of the most mesmerizing comics out there. Kamome Shirahama isn't "good at drawing" - she has great technical skill, yes, but she controls the flow like no one else, comes up with imagery that projects a world, and roots all of it in the themes of her series

Witch Hat Atelier!! Watch on crunchyroll 🔥✨

Watched the first two eps of WITCH HAT ATELIER and I’m in. What a whimsically beautiful world with an actually interesting swerve when it comes to worldbuilding in the “magic school” genre.

It's kinda wild that the best character in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is Brian Tyler's original score

Disgraceful! The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering. It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov And Trump just bombed it...

Last year Kanye West took out a Super Bowl ad to sell swastika t-shirts. This weekend he sold out two shows at SoFi Stadium. To all of those in attendance—what the fuck is wrong you. That’s a rhetorical question.

Just like his animated version watches over Minako, a plush version of Sailor Moon's guardian cat Artemis has been spotted at Mission Control as Artemis II continues its Moon mission.

immediately enthused by Witch Hat Atelier – only passingly familiar with the manga based off reading the first volume, seeing rogue splash pages online and enthusiastic explanations from my cousin, but this already feels like a smart adaptation as well as a very pretty one

physical media is punk rock

Noice👌🏼

hmm

Very excited to be a part of the Crunchyroll Anime Awards voting body again <3

here I go judging anime again (I’m a judge for the Anime Awards): www.crunchyroll.com/animeawards/...

Tell me again about cancel culture being real.

Just spent like three solid minutes explaining to my editor how Jujutsu Kaisen evolves over three seasons from an above average anime to groundbreaking television that leans into Nicolas Winding Refn territory in terms of visuals. I am a woman transformed by an animated action series.

April Fools Day hoax launch, right?

The death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who was left on the freezing streets of Buffalo by Border Patrol officers, was ruled a homicide. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Apologies to THE PITT S2 - you are phenomenal - but you have been knocked out of my 2026 personal top three shows by JUJUTSU KAISEN S3.

"J. K. Rowling sucks, so why bother giving the time of day—ironic or otherwise—on a Deathly Hallows reboot lining her pockets when manga and anime have been serving up fresh magical-school-themed bangers for years?"

6 Magic School Anime and Manga to Discover Instead of Thinking About 'Harry Potter' Ever Again

Feels like the “I use AI to bounce ideas around” stuff is a labor problem. You wish you had an editor, and you don’t, or the editor you have is too busy because they don’t have enough supporting staff.

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! I wish I weren't one of the only (the only?!) trans leader of a nat'l digital rights organization in the US. But I am honored to do the work. And I'm so proud of the team @fightforthefuture.org for always throwing down against censorship and surveillance that harms us❤️

Thomson Reuters’ data, which can include peoples’ addresses and details on their ethnicity, is linked to tools used ICE. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Story by @josephcox.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/how-thomson-...

It's Trans Day of Visibility, so we've made our special series about being trans on the internet completely free to read for everyone, forever. www.theverge.com/cs/features/... Here are a few stories from the collection:

“we’re going to have to keep fighting.” thank you @l-toczylowski.bsky.social and @eltragon.bsky.social for joining me in DTLA.

Police break 17 year old kid's leg—requiring emergency surgery. Beat him repeatedly with baton while he was already detained by 3 other officers. "Grab his ass," witnesses heard him yell—before running over and winding up with batons. Kid was protesting ICE on 'No Kings Day' in Los Angeles, CA.

The fact that I learned today what a Clavicular and looksmaxxing is makes me want to pour bleach into my eyes while simultaneously touch some grass. But maybe I'll stick to the latter since I have to wait until Oct 2027 to see Frieren S3

This is a dance off! If you see this, post a dance or you’re eliminated.

And another thing… what kind of unhinged behavior compels people to sing during a movie in a theater when it's just the soundtrack music playing and there is movie on the screen with characters talking and plot happening? Who does that? A movie theater isn't your living room…

I'm pretty sure BMW drivers are predestined to be the worst drivers on the road

Springsteen: Well, this past winter federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. And this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand.

Speaking of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 3, I'm so glad they announced it coming back with a set date of October 2027 🙏 😭

Also, watching the Season 2 finale of Frieren somehow made me feel overly emotional during the post credits scene with Denken knowing what's to come with Season 3 and the Golden Land arc, which felt like one of the greatest pieces of fiction I've digested when I read it years ago. I can't wait 😭

Watching the OSHI NO KO S3 finale absolutely sent me. Knowing that moment was coming, they nailed it, but also lol I hope fans of The White Lotus S3 discover the wonders of this show if they found that shocking moment in that series to be jaw-droppingly must watch drama TV

No Kings #TwinCities

Just thought of this, but if you loved Project Hail Mary for its relationship between two beings who learned to understand one another despite language barriers, I invite you to watch Ranking of Kings, an epic and heartfelt fantasy series about a deaf & non-speaking prince who befriends a little guy

"Almost five years later, long Covid has had one of the fastest rises in diagnoses and become one of the most economically disruptive chronic conditions in modern medicine… as many as 400 million people worldwide are living with long-term consequences of a SARS-CoV-2 infection."

In case you want and need alternative witch programming that has incredible art, characters, production, and storytelling about a young person being swept up into the world of witchcraft and wizardry…  Witch Hat Atelier begins streaming on April 6 btw

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

It's giving young Toguro brother that skipped gym day…
