“World of Warcraft Gold traders… conspired to create… the alt right… using Reddit and 4 chan… in order to fuel a global fascist uprising… that would stave off #metoo related inquiries into their… secret capitalist cannibal pedophile cabal!”

Elon Musk being so weird and uncool that other billionaire pedophiles refused to party with him sounds more like something out of the onion than any other real headline in the history of news

bluesky decided not to use the thumbnail so here's a few of them. LMK which one the A/B tester showed you!

I watched EVERY new anime of the most stacked winter EVER. Here's what you should be watching, too: youtu.be/F5SfMp6i8as

20 TV Sequels, 3 ONAs, 8 movies, and WHY THE HECK NOT? 4 TV Specials! Before we even get to all the new anime, Winter 2026 already looks like one of the most stacked seasons in history youtu.be/VxrJoAPTRAU

One thing I appreciate about anime review channel @mothersbasement.bsky.social is actively differentiating between 'Bad' and 'Trashy'. Trashy is just playing to base instincts and the lowest common denominator, mostly. It is frequently bad, but some trash is kinda great. This bundle? Peak trash.

What are your spicy Jujutsu Kaisen takes? 🔥🔥🔥

We've talked about 2025's Best and Trashiest Anime, but now it's time for the REAL Garbage. youtu.be/hCWQRnGUkck

At @mothersbasement.bsky.social's recommendation I just watched Milky Subway: The Galactic Limited Express. If you have half an hour, watch it. It's fun and free. milkygalacticuniverse.com/en/

2025 was one of the best years EVER for anime. Now it's time to name the Best of the Best: youtu.be/447mQ4PR9wo

Modern video games would look totally different without the influence of anime. In the latest Post Games, @mothersbasement.bsky.social walks us through the history of anime and video games, from the '80s to today

It's finally time to run down (and roast) the Top 10 Trashiest Anime of 2025! youtu.be/Hct0yyJP_Ag

People really will just say fuckin anything

If South Park made this episode today it would be about Cartman using Randy to grift hundreds of thousands of dollars out of GiveSendGo

Did you know that ONE GUY directed HALF of the Bottom 10 Anime of all time? His name is Yoshiteru Satou. This is his story youtu.be/MQ8K4PIwYdA

Good short video from @mothersbasement.bsky.social on Crunchyroll's destructive subtitle plans and ditching Aegisub in favor of OOONA: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty_7...

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

New article on ★ daiz.moe ★ Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason daiz.moe/crunchyroll-... A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes! Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

AniTube is on one recently and I am here for it 😍😍😍 @mothersbasement.bsky.social @bonsaipop.bsky.social @colleensmangarecs.bsky.social

"[T]he best possible world can only come about when everyone is free to dream." This quote came out of a video essay. About One Piece. By @mothersbasement.bsky.social. And it's just... I think it's just correct.

New Basement Life video! @yazy.bsky.social and I sat down to share our thoughts on the Chainsaw Man movie youtu.be/hknW76QVt2E

Absolutely essential viewing from @mothersbasement.bsky.social! If you’re looking for more on this topic, we just published an episode with some experts in the field: youtu.be/kn3q_XTwSE0

Let's talk about how One Piece became the official anime of The Revolution youtu.be/-VQ3e7YbFmw

American Fascism is so fucking lame, bro. Mussolini called back to Rome. Nazis made up this whole batshit aryan mythology to paper over Germany’s actual history as backwater barbarians. MAGA’s just like “remember when ads were full of white people and cars didn’t have pussy liberal crumple zones?”

finally watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes, it's kind of uncanny how much the Patriotic Knights Corps resembles a certain other group of masked thugs who brutalize the political enemies of their favorite guy whose name starts with T-R-U.

They should give the vice president a real job. This man clearly has far too much free time.

2025 was a year for the Anime History Books. But how does its last season compare to the past two bangers? youtu.be/cBwBDX_-7PA

"There's something different about the subtitles this season. Namely, they're all ass now." Isn't the problem that they're not .ass now?

It's time to talk about the enshittification of Crunchyroll youtu.be/B-DX0Zolr6g

Today is probably the biggest day for the fall anime season/Preview Guide and things are...not looking great on rollout today for Crunchyroll. Both MHA Final Season's first episode and the new season premiere for Spy Family are both up on Hulu. CR is 9 hrs late on MHA and it lacks EN subtitles

George Carlin neglected to mention that the Big Club we ain’t in is the Super Adventure Club

I think if Shinichiro Watanabe had waited until after the whole Tylenol Autism thing to make Lazarus, it would have turned out as a much better anime

y'all need to understand that "be more like FDR" isn't really an option for modern establishment democrats because their entire political project since FDR has been preventing the rise of the next FDR at any cost

Then they came for the Late Night Hosts, and I did not speak up because Fallon is annoying and Colbert fell off

Stop saying “oh so now you guys love cancel culture?” it’s called McCarthyism and the right has been doing it since The War. Proper, respectable free speech repression, from a simpler time.

With everything going on with YouTube lately, I think you should know about another problem that's particularly bad in the anime space, and getting worse everywhere. youtu.be/q95m-4Wm1to
