still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

In the year 2000, the landscape of Japanese professional wrestling was fractured when the legendary Mitsuharu Misawa led a mass exodus from All Japan Pro Wrestling to form his own promotion. My latest book, Freedom and Faith, is finally available worldwide. www.amazon.com.au/dp/1734945990

For some reason "AI is just like watching Netflix" is back in my feeds so I took that as a sign to update my data tracking for Netflix. The company's energy use rose 1% from 2021 to 2024. Compare that to: Google: 71% Nvidia: 88% Meta: 96% Microsoft: 119%

Kids can't hang out in parks. They can't hang out at the mall. They don't have 3rd spaces because no one wants kids around and then we are surprised when they rely on SM for connection. If you take that away, what do they have left?

I assume Jake Lee is part of the 2026 G1. Will he be able to wrestle on the opening night if that’s in the US? Being in the unique position of not having Japanese citizenship, getting a passport could be a challenge. He’s overcome so much to even be in the ring. #njpw

I'm reading Astro City by @kurtbusiek.bsky.social for the 1st time & it's a revelation. It feels real. Honest, human stories. Characters I can believe in and sympathise with. Stories that make my soul smile, wince, ache. Quality work. It should be mentioned in the same breath as the greatest comics.

Cover of the comic book omnibus Astro City Metrobook 1 by Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson and Alex Ross. It depicts the superhero Samaritan flying upwards with a city skyline behind him, a setting sun on the horizon.
