I don't even mention Dandadan until 45 minutes in to my 55 minute panel...
My YOKAI OF DANDADAN panel at @animelosangeles.bsky.social was a big success!!! I once again lured people in to thinking I was going to talk about their favorite show, but instead lectured them on the role of artists in creating and transmitting folklore and how it changes over time.

The people saying "fake fan" is the problem.

I had several people come up to my booth this weekend, look at my books, and say "I dont read."
I cannot imagine such an empty existence.

Two-fifths of Britons said last year that they had not read a single book in the previous 12 months, - just 53 per cent had read any book over the previous year, compared with 66 per cent of women — both in overall numbers and specifically when it comes to fiction.

I believe the exact words ere "I liked the girl from Felicity with the helmet face."
One thing that was proved today when an innocent person stopped by wearing a Scarif bag is that I LOVE talking about Star Wars. I will do it any chance I get.
I ALSO don't know any of the names of the directors, cinematographers, actors, and often even characters...

I truly loathe Timothée Chalamet in a way I don't think I have loathed any other actor.
Anything he is in is an automatic miss for me.

“Show me what comic you loved when you were 13, and that's all I need to know about you.”
Crisis on Infinite Earths.
It marked my transition from being a guy to read Marvel comics to a guy who read comics.

While the Lidice massacre is historical fact, I can find no evidence linking the phrase "One of Ours, All of Yours" to the massacre, or any Nazi propaganda.
It is essentially internet slang.

Many interactions this weekend made me realize how misinformed most Americans are about Shinto.
I think I'm going to put together a new convention panel called "You Dont Know Shinto."

Can confirm.
Can confirm.
You have an agency MBS with a 3% coupon. When rates go up, you want that bond to go away fast so you can buy a 5% bond instead. But lmao, homeowners are going to hold onto those cheap mortgages for grim death so you’re SOL

This reminds me of one of the funniest conversations I had with Miyuki.
She came home from work excited saying "The Jelly Band came into the restaurant tonight!"
She had no idea who they were, but the rest of the staff was abuzz.
Took me forever to realize she was talking about Pearl Jam.
