Kind of hate to do this but hey everyone. I'm glad people liked this but I am currently struggling to find work and we're tight on money once again. I write for free and that's great but also if you enjoyed this and want to help out just a little bit that's really appreciated.

Viendo Macross Plus de nuevo. Como cabía esperar, Morgan ha sido objeto de mi fijación desde el segundo en que aparece.

Me he limitado a observar desde la distancia y con cierta fascinación lo que pasaba, pero personalmente encuentro que el caso de Hank Green es paradigmático de como cierto tipo de informante sabelotodo y compulsivo de Internet se ha vuelto la víctima principal de psicosis inducida por IA.

An insane video game-related Lost Media find has quietly popped up on YouTube. Two episodes of "Say Powww!", a 1979 game show about video games that only aired in some markets. People in studio and over the phone played Intellivision (!!) games. Predates Starcade!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=29tJ...

Puma sisters and big guns - the spirit of B-Club in '93. 🔥 B-Club (1985-1998) was a magazine published by Bandai that mostly focused on gunpla and other models and garage kits, but would also cover general anime/manga stuff.

RIP Katsushi Murakami (1942-2026). A legendary designer for many tokusatsu & anime series (Gavan, Bioman, Giraya Ninja, Ulysse 31, Space Adventure Cobra, Gatchaman...), and toys. x.com/Alien_anvil/...

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, BofA Enabled Epstein, Wyden Report Says

Democrat Ron Wyden cited nonpublic documents held by the US Treasury in a report that says banks delayed reporting suspicious financial transactions and calls for tougher anti-money-laundering rules, ...

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

"[D]ockworkers unions ... are calling an international day of action ​'against war and militarization' on October 30. They are demanding an end to ​'the genocide of the Palestinian people' and the ​'US-Israeli wars of aggression in the Middle East and against Iran.'"

In These Times@inthesetimes.com · 5d ago

From Genoa to Tangier, dockworkers are refusing weapons shipments and shutting down ports to “create real pressure to stop this dirty war.” @sarahlazare.bsky.social reports that unions in six countries are organizing with the demand: “Public resources must be used to meet people’s social needs."

BTW Rowling’s pivot to transphobia came suspiciously on the heels of her losing some of the milennial epic doggo leftist credo after she went whole hogface in on the “Corbyn is an anti-Semite” smear campaign, class war always & forever, bigotry is the refuge of wealthy pedophiles

Kazuki Takahashi seemed like a cool guy and I'm glad he made a fortune within his lifetime once the card game took off, but I'm almost bummed we didn't get more like the early Yu-Gi-Oh where Yami was a supernatural imp doling out cruel Tales from the Crypt morality punishments through kids games.

Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.

Well FUCK What must Rowling’s lawyers have threatened to cow AMNESTY like this. “In particular, we apologise to Beira’s Place and other groups, which we categorised as gender critical organisations, which we should not have collectively labelled as anti-rights.” But truth beats TERFs.

one piece of information missing from this, which i'm super curious about but failed to find, is how far GPS got in this process while the rightsholder was awol. did the creator come aboard at some point, and give a go-ahead, after negotiating a revenue share? or did GPS get this far with no input -

krugman ＠動作不良品(カビ)@krugman.net · 6d ago

Interesting stuff here: GPS has received an ok to rerelease an old game that's considered basically "legal abandonware" (my words) under this new system. However, digging deep into the filing (literally the last sentence, haha), the number of downloads will apparently be capped to 100 total.

ICYMI: The Black Casebook is back and bigger than ever, baby. We're examining the good, the bad, and the ugly of Frank Miller and The Dark Knight Returns, a document of the '80s that still resonates profoundly with the way life feels in 2026.

The Black Casebook@blackcasebook.bsky.social · 6d ago

NEW EPISODE! The Black Casebook returns with a suitably epic analysis of perhaps the single most influential story in Batman's history. Frank Miller and his collaborators called down the lightning to make this book; four decades later, we're still interpreting the thunder. pod.link/1618791941/e...
