Hey, get that flu shot. Knowing folks who are catching this current flu and it's kicking them in the teeth -- the shot will, worst case scenario, prevent it from taking you to the hospital or the morgue. It might knock it out quicker for you or even help you duck catching it. (Mask up, too.)

We are seeing world events like the kidnapping of Maduro through the lens of the most depraved AI you can imagine. And if you thought the Grok CSAM shitshow was bad, it’s likely getting worse. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Story by @jasonkoebler.bsky.social: www.404media.co/groks-ai-csa...

The success of Heated Rivalry makes the disappearance of Yuri on Ice and Sayo Yamamoto all the more sad to me.

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

I will review it (with disclaimers, since I contributed,) but wow Anime Herald magazine is a great read. It's giving that "cover to cover" feel I used to get from magazines in the 80-90s, when I kept my sanity by reading Starlog, Kung Fu Magazine and, eventually, Animerica. cc: @animeherald.com

Working through the slew of emails that piled up over the last two weeks. There are two REALLY exciting ones that came in for Yatta-Tachi that I think folks will also be excited about. Also I will be sharing fantastic news in the next coming weeks!

It's winter. Make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working!

It's HERE! 🥳 The first issue of the @animeherald.com magazine has arrived! It looks so damn GOOD! I cannot stress how big it is to have a publication like this in a time where media preservation is more important than ever.

The amazing team that made the Anime Herald magazine come to life! Proud to be a part of this awesome project! 🥰

for folks who are asking, "why should i care about journal with witch?" it's about an awkward teenage girl adopted by her awkward 30 year old writer aunt after her mom dies in a car accident. you get teenage angst AND freelance working adult ennui in one series

the journal with witch/ikkoku nikki anime adaptation is here!!!! first episode is great. please check it out

Knew Ikoku Nikki was going to be good because the source material rules and the staff's good, but goddamn what an amazing first episode. So far brilliant structure to bypass pacing issues, direction that really understands the core of the series, and waaaay better animation than it'll get credit for

A good read to feel a little more rebellious hope cybernews.com/security/inv...

Watching John Wick for the first time! (Yes, I look up the dog scene so I was prepared)

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

This thread is keeping track of misinformation circulating about the US' attack on Venezuela. A must read!

For screen readers to recognize headings, heading text can't just be body text or normal text that's been made to look bigger and bolder. It must be formatted as a heading. In Microsoft Word and Google Docs, this can be done in the styles box. In HTML, use the tags h1 through h6.

I've updated my Publishers & Imprints list with some new folks -- @kodamatales.bsky.social, @fantagraphics.bsky.social's Takumigraphics, and @23rdstbooks.bsky.social -- & added some of the suggestions in the comments. Keep them coming, folks! #GraphicLibrary www.graphiclibrary.org/info--news/p...

We're so excited to welcome @blerdyotome.bsky.social as a guest for #CitrusCon2026! For more info check out citruscon.com/guests

There's a new English release of Mushishi, lettered by Phil Christie (@kernedout.bsky.social). I adore how Urushibara-sensei utilizes texture in her art, and how the sound effects inherit that texture. Phil does an amazing job replicating that with subtitled SFX. Notes in alt text!

got my ALA ribbons in!!!! #animela21 Can’t read or don’t understand one? Alt text has you

Officially finished playing Metal Gear Solid for the first time! It was a wild ride y’all!
