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...

ernie bushmiller’s ghost came to me in a dream and told me “Nancy NEEDS a mullet”

Okay, I take it back Risograph is good

(at that part of the Risograph printing process where i truly can't discern what is "Important step of the production process" and what is "Bizarre superstitions I invented for myself in 2011 and can't shake") 65% done printing Naomi's 2nd book that will be debuting at Comic Arts LA <3

RISOGRAPH PRINTING TIP: Every Risograph has an evil spirit living inside of it. The spirit waits until you've laid down 3-4 of your layers and have one final color to print. By law, that's when the evil spirit has to make every 10th sheet of paper slip and misfeed the machine. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

Here is one of my sequences from the Invincible Training program. Thank you to our directors @tannertrue.bsky.social Jason Zurek, Ian Abando, Sol Choi Thanks to the mentors Warren Fok, Emmett Yonemura and Karl Savage And thanks to Ryan Sands for developing the program!

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire". www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...

I shouldn't have to know the inner workings of media companies to work out if I will have a job next year lol

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

At a sold out 9:45 screening of Angel's Egg at Vidiots, feels like half of LA animation scene must be here

Yesterday was a great day to have a stamp unveiled by Canada Post! Rural places like mine depend so much on CP, we support the workers, and I’m honoured to be in this 2nd graphic novel collection with 5 others! 📬 www.instagram.com/p/DRTQlk4jG9...

Are you a Same Hat reader / early manga weirdo like me? 90 minutes of incredible reporting and history in the new YouTube post by "matttt". The video is named "How manga broke the US comic industry" Matt interviewed my friend Fred Schodt, Stu Levy, Alvin Lu, www.youtube.com/watch?v=W51Q...

Bought a few inspirational Reading posters for our son as he starts his phonics journey in TK U can buy them from ALA, even the wild ones with Channing Tatum or whatever
