stunned that the home secretary's proposal to reform the UK immigration system involves... mandatory volunteer work in order to remain in the country? so if you're an immigrant you're just automatically part of a class of unpaid servile workers now?? what the fuck are we doing???

This was the first holiday to Spain where I feel like I properly cracked conversational Spanish (both with family and with strangers). Its still pretty limited and most strangers default to English anyway when they see how I look but I feel proud that I can express myself more.

a comic about fishing (1/7)

just so everyone knows how cool i am i beat that first red knight guy in silksong without any kind of dash. blanca kept on telling me to leave him and come back with the dash but i bounced on that mfers head till he died

absolutely mad how much a good haircut can change up your whole shit

youtu.be/XZ7Dk0stfy8?... gobou-san dropping another banger

we're planning another trip to Japan for next year and thinking of checking out the north more. anyone got any cool stuff you've seen north of Tokyo? Blanca wants to check out the Ainu museum south of Sapporo but I don't know jack about that area

more bleach posting, sorry: my favourite characters by far are Kurotsuchi and Kenpachi so I'm so happy they get a few chapters together later on. Kurotsuchi's Thousand Year Blood War Arc outfit utterly slaps, too

im at a stage where i must concede that the second DanDaDan OP is, in fact, peak. it's no creepy nuts but it's still unskippable

Its really bumming me out how I don't really have my priv twitter anymore. Don't have anywhere good to vent to a small circle of people lol

rereading Bleach (again) at the moment and remembering a lot of things I like about it. One of these is the kidō chants they do when they cast advanced spells, which (at least as far as I can tell) are just like cool-sounding abstract poems

a photo of my eyeball features in one of the first 20 episodes of The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. can you find it????????

A huge amount of the new Gumball team are Dead End alum and/or good friends of mine including the art director @torpordust.bsky.social who is phenomenal! I'm very excited to watch them all, I know it'll all be exemplary!

the UK's new online safety act is *utterly* stupid and vastly overreaching. Other countries take note: we started with "mandatory age-verification face scan checks to access porn sites" (already insane) and we're now looking at losing Wikipedia?!

i FUCKING hate those ads for uber with people awkwardly treating the train guard or whoever like an uber driver

really like the animation on SF6 sagat, the way he holds himself... he'd gotten a bit generically muscly and chunky in the last few games, he looms a bit more awkwardly like he did in his sf2 sprite this time, it's more fun to make him a bit gangly.

Finally watched Rebel Without A Cause tonight and realised that kaneda's red jacket is probably a nod to the one James dean wears

got to the bit in Death Stranding 2 where caroline polachek's new song plays. banger

www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6n_... new gumball opening finally dropped! this was pretty mental, lots of incredibly talented people worked really hard on it!!!!

This is incredible!! Go check it out!!!!

how long after release do you think it'll take someone to make and post a picture of a giant phallus made out of sand in the new donkey kong. my money's on <6 hours

this sounds mildly insane but I think Doom: The Dark Ages owes quite a lot to Banjo Kazooie in its overall design. Happy to elaborate on this if needed

first reveal of the thing I've been art directing on for the past 2+ years! Amazing team on this, it's gonna be so good

in a bit of an Ashes to Ashes mood lately. Never done good things. Never done bad things. Never did anything out of the blue

a jumping jester

fully immersing myself in the local idioms

went up to Hohenzollern castle yesterday and it was pretty incredible

just found out they call well done steaks "english" in germany. Literally was offered "rare, medium rare or english". utterly owned

duck strut

always thought they should have gone for a campy 50s vibe for a superman film. no idea whether fantastic 4 will be any good but i think it's a good idea for a direction

youtu.be/lOWfCVQBixs?... i watched like half the bob dylan biopic on the airplane the other day and this song hit me pretty hard for some reason. listened to it yesterday again and felt a bit weepy

youtu.be/uxTdTaNIUxo?... was yesterday but still

Looking forward to the signing at @gallerynucleus.bsky.social later today! Last week in LA's been really nice.

Another one of those weeks

finished listening to the audiobook of Limmy's autobiography. Really really lovely stuff

the radiohead album The Bends turned 30 years old last week, they did a thing about it on the news. i loved that album a lot. a bunch of the first songs i ever learned to play on the guitar were from it, and we covered the title track in the band i was in at school.

SIX DAYS NOW!! Art by @torpordust.bsky.social !! @tokyopop.bsky.social

I'll be at this! And I'll be around the preceding week in LA. Come say hi!

has anyone done an edit of Squabble Up by kendrick lamar but whenever he says squabble up it's replaced by the audio of the wizard from the zelda CDI game saying "SQUADALA!!"

we went to see The Monkey last night and it was so good. i liked Longlegs but felt like it didn't quite stick the ending, whereas everything here worked brilliantly, script, acting, tone. really tight, weird little story about death.

imagining denji's single brain cell rattling around like a bean in a tin can

animationobsessive.substack.com/p/making-the... really nice interview about a music video that had an incredible influence on me as a kid! Pretty sure the little CD single with the video burned onto it was the first music I ever bought. Still so so cool

If the only criterion for something’s success is that it’s the most financially profitable use of a space, we’re going to have a pretty shitty world. You can always make more money out of something by squeezing it differently. The question is: is that all there is?
