I started a newsletter-blog with my friends Eleanor Davis, Lala Albert, and Ian Foster-Dimino. Today was my first post! Just trying to have fun posting on the internet again, folks garden-variety.org

Akihiro Miwa is a legend. Fukasaku's Black Lizard and Black Rose Mansion are both incredible heaters, Miwa just devours every scene. Here's the scene where you get to see Miwa turn Yukio Mishima into a human statue. Best bond villain in history.

First looks of Jillian Tamaki’s ‘Supermutant Magic Academy’ series. Coming soon to Adult Swim.

NITHYA

My estimate yesterday was that Raman needed to win what was left over Pratt by 12-13% . Today, after this batch (which she won by 21%), my estimate is that she has to win what is left over Pratt by 9-10%. So she is certainly on track.

The whatnow

Jeremy Sorese is one of our greatest contemporary painters!!!!! I'm just staring and staring and staring at this, pulling in all the details my flimsy rods & cones can summon

Truly, this man's impact on J-horror can't be overstated. RIP.

If they don’t pay taxes then who gives a shit. Bye 👋

newest Nancy ends with one of the most important panels ever, what a gift from @cashbrowns.bsky.social

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

It’s the future, it’s inevitable, just accept it, it’s the way we will all be working very soon and there is no point in trying to oh wait it sucks, no one asked for it or wants it, and it’s shutting down forever.

Eric Swalwell takes $$ from Palantir & AIPAC, was one of 75 Dems who voted to thank ICE, constantly votes to send $$/weapons to Israel's genocide, and spent all summer calling Zohran Mamdani an anti-semite. he shouldn't even be in Congress let alone governor of California

Meredith saying something I’ve spent a lot of the last couple years thinking about:

Or…ooooor it could be due to the institutions breaking the camps and punishing kids, selling them out to the Trump admin, very public kidnappings of several of the students by DHS and ICE, AND wholesale demonization by DNC diehards. It’s almost like repression has a cooling effect.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

Great wee Elden Ring section, featuring @remoteryan.bsky.social's daughter's zines and an amazing illustrated play diary from @stepickford.bsky.social.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

Some wild news! My daughter Naomi's fanzines are included in the GAME WORLDS exhibit happening at Australia Center for the Moving Image (ACMI) museum in Melbourne (!!!) The exhibit is features "original design materials, concept art and rare objects" about 44 video games and their virtual spaces

Makes sense that the man who stole from Satoshi Kon's work multiple times would make an animated series with a plagiarism machine. (clip via @ani-obsessive.bsky.social )

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

I picked up one of these old volumes of Golgo 13 a few months ago. I finally got around to reading it and was like "I wonder if Same Hat ever did an "early days of manga" post about this?" I go and discover that after 12 years of silence there was a new post about these exact volumes of Golgo 13???

My first Nancy strip, for New Year’s Day 2026❣️

Gender affirming care saves lives.

all zine orders in the store have been shipped and should arrived before Xmas (except the one to New Zealand, sorry my friend that's way too far to make it in 7 days) don't order any more books or i'll freak out and have to go BACK to the damn eagle rock post office www.youthindecline.com/products

shipped out all SEKIRO and MUSIC (and Frontier) zines orders pending. Everyone should have their zines before Xmas. Shop remains open and I'm shipping every day. If you order before tomorrow at noon I'll have it out tomorrow afternoon! OR buy them at Secret Headquarters in Atwater if yr LA local!

the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life

come up from zine world to read the news and curdled by the grimness. RIP, good lord

If you weren't at CALA, we now have SEKIRO and MUSIC for sale on our site, two new zines by America's favorite 3rd Grader. (Naomi is now saving up to get Mario Galaxy 1+2 for switch2) www.youthindecline.com/category/und...

Thank you to everyone who came by and checked out our zines at CALA, and thank you to the cartoonists who were supportive and kind to my daughter, Naomi. I think Naomi has internalized that she herself is a zinemaker (with 6 books under her belt!) and part of this community, and I love that

As always, PEOW2 continues to inspire me as the publisher pushing the envelope in the right direction. Fearless and intuitive and following their hearts. Patrick is the best! Peers make me wanna move Youth in Decline forward in 2026

Zines are now on sale on the Youth in Decline site! www.youthindecline.com/category/und...

See you at Comic Arts LA tomorrow?? Free show, me and Naomi are selling zines at Table 54B She has TWO new zines coming out, MUSIC and SEKIRo

The publication Dummy Zine is apparently selling Mark Beyer tshirts to benefit Mark Beyer, a comics legend who is dealing with expensive health issues. www.dummyzine.com/category/hel...
