Stunningly beautiful score for a flashback I was grateful for the chance to write. I probably have too much empathy for Lee, but loneliness can motivate some pretty bad decisions. One time growing up, I faked a tornado warning so my family would hang out with me in the basement.

The power of mu! There's an obscure bit of Chrono Trigger lore involving Masa & Mune's big sister, Doreen, that actually helps make sense of a random hanging thread in Super Mario Bros. 2. This one got super weird! www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/how-non...

The ACA made my whole self-employed life possible. For almost ten years, I was able to build a career that actually worked for me AND keep receiving necessary care to address the consequences of childhood medical neglect. And I still deserved better. We all do.

Centrists and Progressive Dems talking today

What's funny (in a crying way) is that the Democrats want to cave for a promise of a vote to only stop the pain long enough for Republicans to win the midterms. I'm hard-pressed to think of a stupider outcome.

In the latest Gayest Episode Ever, we look at a 2018 Simpsons that riffs on drag culture — and does a better Drag Race-style musical number than Drag Race actually has. Co-writer @carolynomine.bsky.social explains how this ep came to be. Hint: tupperwear! www.gayestepisodeever.com/episodes/sim...

If I’m ever kidnapped, please update all my profiles to include “happily taken.”

Considering the recent wave of nostalgic movie documentaries, it blows my mind that nobody has made one about the Sherman Oaks Galleria, aka The Mall In Every 80s Movie. Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Night of the Comet, Commando, Phantom of the Mall, Innerspace, Chopping Mall, Terminator 2 etc...

I spent all of Halloween on this, an explanation for the classic horror movie origins of Darkstalkers — now with more Kolchak: The Night Stalker than you ever expected in 2025! www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/darksta...

Last few weeks have been a marathon so I have selected a lowkey Halloween activity.

Hey.

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

The chokehold this game had on me...

For new arrivals, this playlist has every short so far:

I made 27 gifs (from scratch!) of video game characters dying like Mario does to discuss the origin of this peculiar bit of pixel animation. Enjoy!

The artwork of The Legend of Zelda 4koma manga by Hiroyuki Makino used on the cover of the first volume published by Enix in Japan. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. Thanks to @historyofhyrule.com for sharing these scans!

"I was married but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle."

Dating is hard because I assume at least 10% of single people are just time travelers here to stop any number of dooms currently on the horizon.

Historical legends are full of doom-foretelling prophets who were probably normal people that saw obviously bad decisions being made but had no power to stop it.

Every day I wake up and read news that sounds like the setup of a short-lived 1990s animated series. I can only hope that somewhere out there, an evil corporation is mutating/building/firing the very heroes who will one day bring it down.

✨Stuff like this makes me smile! It’s also one of the main reasons I draw stuff, making others happy! Crazy seeing someone take a photo inspired by my April O’Neil from Ninja Turtles interviewing Janine from The Real Ghostbusters piece from a few years back.✨

Hey LA, not to sound paranoid, but has anyone else noticed that recently police helicopters have been disrupting WiFi when they fly overhead?

There are much more important/terrible things going on in the world, but I've already been vocal about this issue. Turning a steep profit on students is sick. Educating your people IS the investment.

AI exacerbates the biggest problems plaguing society: climate, energy needs, jobs, trust in journalism/institutions while preying on our laziness and lack of critical thinking and undermining small comforts like art and therapy. Now we're threatened with mutually assured economic destruction.

This promo for "Fox Weekends" (or how the network celebrated it only having programming on Saturday and Sunday) is such a moment in time. AND if you don't happen to recognize these shows, may I suggest @gayestepisodeever.bsky.social's Patreon series Fox Files? patreon.com/collection/1...

On this day in Horror History, FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE SERIES premiered on television in 1987.

Coming Oct 7th. WARNING: Weird. Silly. Canon. @kevinburke20.bsky.social

Another birthday spent in my favorite place - work.

Super7 saved me an upcoming birthday wish by revealing their next SilverHawks wave. One little gay boy (at heart) has been waiting almost 40 years for this figure.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

More dark visuals and eldritch concepts from 80's cartoons. This time from Paul Dini, writing for Transformers. Cybernetic Lovecraftian terror that lurks deep beneath Cybertron.

Happy birthday to the DiC Sailor Moon. Huge thanks to @brettwhite.bsky.social for letting me get my feelings out about a show--and its world--that profoundly shaped me as a creator and person.

Okay, it's been a week (and this isn't particularly spoiler-y). I was really excited to write "The Screaming Earth" because it felt like an emotional bookend to my previous episode of NINJAGO DRAGONS RISING, "Crashing Together."

It's hard to overstate what this opening unlocked in the child-brains of so many future writers and animators.

Stealing all our work while also characterizing us as lazy feels a little too on the nose, but here we are

Daily DBZ 118-2. Having given up on his search for Goku, Vegeta returns to the only place that’ll take him, Earth. His stolen Capsule Corp ship crashes down at Bulma’s house. Bulma quickly realizes he hasn’t bathed or changed in over a year so she brings the stinky boy right to the showers. HMM.

This is the ideal adventuring party. If you don’t have someone bringing spitfire single mom energy, I’m not interested.

IT IS TIME!! Part II of NINJAGO DRAGONS RISING Season 3 has JUST DROPPED!! Whatever you are doing right now, it’s less important than WATCHING THIS!! Thrills!! Chills!! Spinjitzu drills!! See what EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT and watch NINJAGO RIGHT NOW!! (Then watch it again and again!!)

“Glen, which do you like more: mechs or dragons?” Me: “… Yes.” (Told myself I’d organize these shelves before the new season drops. Yes, this is organized.)

Day 7 (Final): BALANCE. Every action has a reaction, every question has an answer. Balance makes the parts greater than the whole. (Watch NINJAGO DRAGONS RISING Season 3 Part 2 September 4th!!!)

Day 6: LIFE. The heartbeat of the universe, Life is not just the means but the will to survive. (Watch NINJAGO DRAGONS RISING Season 3 Part 2 September 4th!)

YES! We could not be more excited for the 2nd half of NINJAGO: DRAGONS RISING Season 3 on Sept 4th!! This is a season about CONSEQUENCES – the risks, dangers, and responsibilities one has to take for the greater good – and how the smallest actions can have repercussions throughout the Merged Lands.

Day 5: FOCUS. Stillness brings clarity, study reveals knowledge. Focus leads to understanding - to act without it invites chaos. (Watch NINJAGO DRAGONS RISING Season 3 Part 2 September 4th!)

Day 4: STRENGTH. Like rocks against crashing waves or a sword splintering a shield, Strength resists or overpowers an opposing force. (Watch NINJAGO DRAGONS RISING Season 3 Part 2 September 4th!)

Day 3: ENERGY. Whether the spark that starts a reaction or its explosive result, Energy fuels existence. (Watch NINJAGO DRAGONS RISING Season 3 Part 2 September 4th!)
