I was surprised how well it held up! I suppose the visual style is individual enough that it ages more gracefully than some of the more conventional animations of the time, and the plots are refreshingly loopy

There's a new Sugar single... And they're touring next year... Do these legacy bands know how fuckin' busy I am? This is why I can't keep up with new music, I've got half of the Late Show "No Nirvana" special reforming every six months

SPOILER: I did not. The Trap Door is excellent stuff though, as is this fine podcast!

“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like "save yourself who's able/can" and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

Black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten appearing to burst through a sheet of white paper in a dark frame. Text at the bottom reads “sauve qui peut”.

...and there's much more about Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends - and how surprisingly well it stands up now - here: timworthington.org/2023/12/19/i...

It’s Good, Except It Sucks: Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends With Garreth Hirons

Garreth Hirons joins Tim Worthington for a chat about Peter Parker, Angelica Jones and Bobby Drake very occasionally remembering to mention that they are also supposed to be at college in Spider-Ma…

Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends - animated Goblin-unbalancing escapades of college-bound Peter Parker conveniently sharing a dorm with stray X-Man Bobby 'Iceman' Drake and last minute Human Torch analogue Angelica 'Firestar' Jones. Watch out, Video-Man!

Quest 64 Official @quest64official.bsky.social · 22d

It is the invincible meme based on the "look at what it takes to mimic our power" scene

The top panel is "look at the cow" with a scene from Harvest Moon 64

The second panel says "moooo" with a close up of the cow

Harvest moon 64 is a well-known and loved Nintendo 64 game much like Quest 64

I love Black Mirror, but there's a big part of me that just wants Charlie Brooker to go back to BBC Four and make some silly little shows about obscure TV.
