Looks like Banana Fish is getting an English dub!

Adolescences of Utena (1999) directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara

I loathe the cult of the car.

My love for/abuse of M dashes long predates AI and I certainly won’t stop using them because of AI.

The Avatar Aang trailer confirms my suspicions. My taste in men has not changed much since 15. Zuko looks and sounds great.

Back in my day, we had little coins called pennies. "Give me five pennies for a nickel," we'd say. On one side was a picture of Abe Lincoln and on the other side was another, smaller, picture of Lincoln.

This is an actual screenshot from the syllabus for this class. Beyond parody

In the year of our lord 2026, we have Dave Grohl quoted as saying “Kurt Cobain would’ve loved yuri”

At least they're not hiding their corruption. Go big or go home.

terrible translations that will shy readers away from titles translated this way, financed by the government. Incredible, genius

Yes, that's what it says. 114 children deliberately shot in the head and chest. In Europe this would be a major criminal investigation, but because it's in Palestine and therefore sanctioned by the U.S. and disregarded by Israel, it just gets ignored.

As much as I like Germany, even this 100k person town, I’m annoyed that I can come to this park/lake I’m weathering the heatwave in and can smoke as many cigs as I want, but weed is explicitly forbidden even though it is legal. The urge to moralize SOMETHING is still strong. 1/

The German Green’s demands to the Merz government on preparing the country for extreme weather are fairly straightforward. And sensible. Here’s a rough translation.

L O L — “Violating dress code” is the new Tan Suit scandal. In fact it’s actually far worse because they legit have literally nothing on him. I’m surprised they didn’t say “Mamdani fails to walk on water, proving he’s not actually Jesus.”😅

Akihiro Miwa, one of #Japan’s earliest most visible LGBTQ+ icons, singers, and film stars, has died at 91. Their best known role overseas was in 1968's Black Lizard. www.sankei.com/article/2026...

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

PHEW

"When I visited her in the Wichita Falls jail in May, her spirits were bright despite her circumstances. I wanted to ask her about what she’s been reading, but wondered if she was scared to answer. 'It’s crazy that we live in a world where it’s not safe to ask what books you’re reading,' she said."

My friend visited me this afternoon and by going on my balcony, said: "Your cactus have a very NSFW shape." Can't unsee now. I am sure you would like to see what shape it have, right? Well, here, I can show it to you but since it's a family friendly account, I had to censor it a little bit.

Customer service in Germany is something else. I emailed a FedEx broker Friday morning to ask for clarification on a question and heard back late the morning. He provided only SLIGHTLY more info than last week. 1/2

#1 reason I finally enrolled in an ADR writing workshop: I want to adapt an ADR script for Banana Fish. Even if it’s just for a few of the episodes. And I’ve learned in recent weeks that several VAs and a director (who I really admire) are also interested in seeing Banana Fish get a real dub.

My nine year old asked for a Rosetta Stone cake for his birthday

Was just explaining the plot of Manji and Momo to my husband, who was wearing headphones and in another room, and when I asked if he actually heard me, he says “Yeah, you’re talking about Minky Momo, right?”

My husband has been doing this for two years with Moby Dick and I honestly wish someone would stop him. (Do not read Moby Dick.)
