mobile suit gundam gquuuuuux — out in the US today — could be the perfect mecha movie with its apocalyptic premise and stunning, nostalgic visuals, but it ruins it all by sexualizing its young, teenage protagonist :p www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

So stark. A once self-sufficient institute is laying off hundreds of staff to put it “back on a stable financial footing” bc billionaires have bled it dry. And no, the answer is not getting another rich owner who’ll pay all the bills for nefarious purposes, but to be fan-owned and self-sustaining

Farewell to Roberta Flack, a pivotal soul singer of the early 1970s who deftly blended R&B, jazz, pop and folk. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "Killing Me Softly With His Song" are the classic hits, suggesting the riches that lay elsewhere in her catalog. variety.com/2025/music/n...

Goodbye Jerry Butler, one of my absolute favourite singers. So warm and expressive. I bought this LP when I worked at Our Price in Epsom in 1984, and I've been in love with his voice from that day on. His collaborations with Curtis Mayfield, then Gamble/Huff, all gold www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl74...

Yoko Ono is 92 today. She is also a great artist whose dignity and compassion in the face of more than half a century of unearned disdain, much of it unequivocally racist and/or misogynistic in character, is genuinely astonishing.

Terror of Mechagodzilla is on cable. Ishiro Honda’s final Godzilla movie, stylistically one of his most daring. Lots of night photography & awesome composite shots of monsters & cities with regular-sized humans. There’s even a flashback with a 4-panel split-screen. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_...
