In my capsule hotel

I was about to graduate and had no idea what to do. I read Jay McInerney’s forgotten 2nd novel ‘Ransom’ about a dude who trains in karate while teaching English in Kyoto. A few months later, I was in Japan training karate and teaching English and I have never left. That was ~35 years ago

Posted some pizza pics on my insta story last night and multiple mutuals I have never spoken with have awakened to express their delight. Plus one guy I last spoke with in 2019 I have posted literally hundreds and hundreds of pizza pics. You never know

Packing for the weekend in Kyoto like: ok I need these 12 devices, awesome, done Hours later: maybe some underwear?

The secret of comedy

Update:

I also never realised how much the rise in deaths in Russia after the fall of the USSR wasn't economic at all - it seems to be caused by a Soviet public health campaign against alcoholism coming to an end blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

Finally found the perfectly-sized dough containers. Hey it makes me happy

A win, but not the comfortable one OKC really wanted. Now injuries might reshape the whole series

If Wemby can go the whole 4th, the Spurs have a great shot at this

Caruso should be allowed to drink triple espressos on the bench

In Sam Antonio, the castle storms YOU

This is more like how you expect a backcourt of first and second year guys to look like vs OKC. They’re doing amazing but the pressure is starting to take a toll. Finishing isn’t going to be problem but keeping the ball is much trickier

Dunk of the playoffs so far from Castle

An entire stable of sumo wrestlers could not keep me from watching Spurs OLC game 2, even tho it probably will be a letdown. It’s the tax you have to pay for alltimers

About a month ago, someone uploaded a ridiculously huge and varied collection of comic zines to Internet Archive -- hundreds, maybe thousands of 'em, both US and foreign. I'm still adding them to this list, but if you'd like to check out decades worth of zines you can find them here:

Thinking Basketball just coined the term ‘antigravity’ to describe Wemby’s influence. The inverse of Steph, who pulls every opponent toward him, Wemby can just stand there and have every opponent avoid a 12 foot circle around him

Largest fourth quarter comeback playoffs wins in the play-by-play era: Clippers, down 24 vs MEM in 2012 Knicks, down 22 vs CLE tonight Celtics, down 21 vs NJN in 2002 Warriors, down 20 vs NOP in 2015

I guess the motives of the two young shooters in San Diego isn't of much interest because there's very little discussion of it online.Seems odd. ICYWW:

Leaving Harden in for OT is a choice

Well holy shit!!!!! BING BONG

The coaches just let them play, amazing

The starting lineup problems that have dogged the Knicks for the better part of two seasons are back in a big way here. The Cavs' cross-matching — center on Hart, wing on Towns — has the previously free-flowing Knicks offense totally stuck in the mud.

Brunson being eaten alive here

Why does this feel like a mid-January game

THE HOLY WORDS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN

⚡ LIVE ⚡ 📡 twitch.tv/manicsocratic 📡 🎮 Game Boy Advance Medley 🎮 Astro Boy: Omega Factor is taking the starting slot on tonight's tour of the best the GBA has to offer. What's after this? You gotta tune in to find out! Hangin' out until 9:30pm Pacific. Let's live the retro dream!

Both teams are shooting like they watched Wemby last night and didn’t sleep a wink

Hyphenation PSA for you filthy casuals parachuting in: Karl-Anthony Towns, BUT Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

It will be such a relief when this dude finally unhinged his jaw and eats a live mouse on camera like he has been longing to for decades

Happy we have officially announced this thing I've been working on for ten freakin' years. Expect to hear more from me about it over the next little while. Meanwhile, here are details: www.superherohype.com/comics/65227...

OKC in 49 minutes Wembanyama ON court tonight: 36.9% from the field, 11-for-31 in the paint OKC in 9 minutes Wembanyama OFF court: 58.8% from the field, 8-for-13 in the paint

Thunder had the ball with 40 seconds left in the first overtime and a 108-105 lead. From there, Victor Wembanyama outscored Oklahoma City 12-7 by himself to end the game.

What a performance by Victor Wembanyama

Vuc Wembanyama is just absolute nonsense, man. Welcome to the start of his reign

This is one of the greatest games I’ve ever seen, absolutely living up to the hype

How did Dylan Harper do that

Spurs look more tired

Caruso may also be 1 of 1. The guy is incredible

DID THAT FRENCH MOTHERFUCKER JUST BANG BANG

Huuuuuge blunder sticking on a jet wtf

TOOOOOOOO SMALLLLLLLL

Whatcha got, MVP

What is a foul anyway

Caruso keeps happening!

Caruso keeps happening!

I don’t know how Harper scored flat-footed on Chet. It doesn’t make sense. He shoulda had that shit blocked into the stands

Great job from Shai forcing Wemby to follow him there, earned a legit bucket but would have gotten a great advantage for a pass even if he didn’t
