After 7 years I'm cancelling my Discord Nitro subscription. Fuck their data harvesting bullshit.

Very special delivery today! Ichi the Witch volume 1, limited edition alternative cover from Kinokuniya! Big thanks to my friend Kewl for helping me get this! 😁

Under Doctor, three chapters in. Very very strong start. I'm really liking this so far.

46... Unbelievable. Fuck cancer. Such a humble man. Had the pleasure to chat with him at a couple of tournaments. He approached every player the same way, with openness and respect. Rest in peace, German Juggernaut. magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

DOWN AND TO THE LEFT

Symphony of Seasons fucking slapped.

Interesting, Viz's release of Centuria has a completely new translation, different than the one on MangaPlus.

SINNERS SWEEP INCOMING Jokes aside, Best Picture is the most stacked since 2019. It could honestly go to any one of them. Do hope Sinners gets the recognition it deserves!!!

My local bookshop understands their audience.

When I was 11 I invented manga piracy. My thought: "People should take pictures of all the pages and upload them online! That way we can all read it". Turns out it already existed, but I arrived at it independently.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I wish Hunter x Hunter was still around. Gon and Killua would've loved 67.

Got some old Ultra Jump issues in today! These 6 are all the issues that had Hiroyuki Takei's Jumbor on the cover, instantly completing that part of my "collecting all magazine issues with a Hiroyuki Takei series on the cover" collection.

Children expected to die of hunger in Darfur ‘within days’, says UN Sudan chief - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/darfur-children-expected-die-hunger-within-days-says-un-top-sudan-official

Over 2000 protesters are said to have been killed in Iran which is fucking insane.

The Iranians killed protesting: A student, a footballer, a husband and wife - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/iranians-killed-protesting-student-footballer-husband-wife

It's quite easy actually: fuck any government that kills protesters.

Well well well... Look what finally decided to show up. Man they knocked these out of the park. Just wish they were easily obtainable (in Europe).

Revisiting the greatest scanlation video ever made. youtu.be/uag3aVnpbTE?...

Some pretty nice pickups this month. Especially happy with the One Piece volumes, they're in Norwegian and were a Christmas gift from my (Norwegian) girlfriend.

People crying on X: The Everything App™️ about the new Grok AI feature letting you use anyone's posts, including images and art, to create new AI generated content. What did they all expect staying on Nazi Twitter? I can't say I'm surprised...

YONA SEASON 2 IS CONFIRMED!

My son is home.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Shiori Experience Chapter 83 shorturl.at/u3rmp

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I should probably shut up more.

Utterly unbelievable. Bungo Stray Dogs, published as a simulpub by @yenpress.com keeps getting leaked in English because they keep allowing webstores to offer a preview of the chapter BEFORE IT'S RELEASED. This means that the official English version is leaked before it's even out in Japan!

Mad Men 4K

look I live and breathe shonen manga, but I've been banging this drum for decades now there are *so* many excellent comics and shows from Japan that aren't for the shonen demographic--and more importantly--don't run in Weekly Shonen Jump

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

I fucking hate Adobe and their garbage software but I cannot deny that their support is goated. If you work for Adobe support, you're appreciated.

Quite excited about this new series by Shima Shinya!

Why isn't Pennywise in the Rings of Power?

Got a 📦 in from 🇯🇵! Got Afternoon issue 6, 2011 featuring VS chapter 73. I had never seen this cover before and ended up way overpaying for it in a bidding war... Next up is Look Back and the exclusive Original Storyboard given out at screenings in Japan. And the ending with Medarot DVDs!

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Oh damn, u heard about this? a.co/d/0mVmipB

They say good things come in threes. Cheney died, Mamdani won... what's coming next? 👀

The ICJ has ruled that Israel’s Gaza aid blockade violates international law, citing its obligation to facilitate humanitarian relief for Palestinians.

I still remember my grandparents landline number that's been defunct for years. 465928 lol.

WildWords hundred percent autoleading

Had the absolute pleasure to see Black Country, New Road tonight in a sold out Paradiso, Amsterdam. Especially appreciated the moment they took halfway to reflect on the fact that they've sold out the most iconic and important venue in Amsterdam two nights in a row. "It's definitely not lost on us."

Some fantastic news this evening: Ian Watkins is rotting in hell! 🎉

It's... complete. After more than a decade of following this series, I finally have the final volume. What a journey it's been. It's crazy to look back and remember what a different person I was when I started reading it. Thank you Vinland Saga, forever. 🌾

"We all get something out of respecting pronouns. The people that are requesting certain pronouns get the respect they feel they deserve and we're learning a little grammar and syntax." Love these boys. youtu.be/BN6_3EGAvnQ?... (From 21:05 onwards)

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)
