以前、リモート会議中に描いた My ザクフリッパー。ほんとに参加求められただけだったので…。

My version of MS-06E Zaku Flipper (from the 1st Mobile Suit Gundam), painted during a virtual meeting before. Coz it was just a meeting to attend... One of my most favorite Zaku variations.

And most recently cut up a video I recorded of manga historian/translator Ryan Holmberg at @fantomcomics.bsky.social talking about manga, My Gorilla Family and Living the Line books and its SMUDGE vintage horror imprint.

Hi.

I hard launched making video content about comics, though, funny enough, I've somehow only discussed manga so far. I made a video on my SPX 2025 haul a few weeks ago.

Lurk me, baby.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

What the actual hell? The FBI director is really claiming that there's no credible information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors to anyone other than himself?

REALLY?

Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney.bsky.social · 29d

Kash Patel says the FBI has NO information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors to anyone other than himself.

SEN. KENNEDY: "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?"

PATEL: "There is no credible information, none ... that he trafficked to other individuals."

This is a great 1 sentence synopsis of the book

Lex Joy @aeneas-nin.bsky.social · Sep 2

This book is so weird and funny. It concerns a girl who happens to be filming a meme video behind Shinzo Abe when he gets plugged, so all the internet crazies think she's the mastermind behind the assassination. The first work that truly captures the spirit and texture of our profoundly stupid era.
