Personally I think Reform winning anything would be a disaster and that they represent the opposite of what the UK needs to be truly great. But that's just me. Apparently populist rhetoric, fake patriotism, and masking everything behind 'common sense' while hiding your true beliefs is a good thing?

At the end of my Digimon Adventure 02 rewatch. In many ways it holds up better than I expected. In others? Decidedly less. And oh boy......does it nosedive in the last quarter.

I'm watching the Black Wargreymon arc and I'm repeating myself here, but 02 isn't a letdown because it doesn't have good ideas (it is stuffed with great things). BWG fits right in with the more subtler, darkness and anxieties and existential themes of 02. It's what I expect Digimon to do.

Moments like these make it really hard to write off a show like this when the character writing and substance are this good. I vividly remember watching this as a child. Ken's trauma and redemption from being the bad guy are still really heartfelt and holds up to my adult eyes.

Love the Performance Improvements, but disliking everything else about the Switch 2 right now. I'd love to play the new Pokemon on it but it makes more sense to stick with the OG Switch version and take the performance hit, over unsustainable pricing.

soranews24.com/2025/04/02/s... It's 2025. Why are we still region locking Consoles. The practice should stay dead.

It's far too warm this time of the year and this early in the morning for England. And they say Global Warming is a myth....

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home... This is a horrifying situation for the people involved but unfortunately we're not going to care because this country had a disgusting attitude towards refugees and Muslims.

Every now and again I am reminded of how adrift at sea I feel within the wider anime community. Things are either the best or worst with little room in between. Guilty of fangirling and being an opinionated ass myself, but there are precious few spaces to have the kinds of discussions I want.

Sadly this is the truth about America and England right now.

From a friend in one of my discord channels. A passage from a 1933 book on sexuality. JK Rowling, your argument is invalid.

ULTIMATES........assemble! @denizcamp.bsky.social the original Ultimates by Millar and Hitch is my favourite Marvel comic ever. So I'm very excited how the new Ultimate Universe reinvents the the team. And some current affairs reading for good measure too.

Zeta Gundam Episode 13 It's a great meme, but still a legitimate highlight from the show. Yeah. Enjoying the Heck out of this rewatch.

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

Switching from the Pocket DMG to Micro for GBA games. I started with Blue, but Emerald was my favourite growing up.

Ayaneo products are very expensive for what they offer. But I have to be honest: I'm really quite fond of them. I've been getting stuck into the Pocket DMG and Pocket Micro recently and honestly? they're really quite great. DMG has much better battery life, but the Micro's full metal build is 🔥

'Humans like to worry' (笑) Very funny bookmark that came with a sci-fi novel I ordered recently.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

All that packaging for a movie and a poster....

I'm hearing good things about the new Spider-Man animated series on Disney + But after reading the new Ultimate Spider-Man, I'm just personally bored of Peter in High School or College AGAIN. Jonathan Hickman really spoiled me. Peter is so much more interesting when he's allowed to grow up.

www.bloomberg.com/news/article... This would be an incredibly backwards, short-sighted idea. Don't charge people who have no intention of watching live TV. Is it too much to ask them to move with the times?

Believe in a sign of Zeta, beyond the hard times from now! Ahead of its 40th anniversary next month, I'll be dusting off my blurays for a long overdue rewatch!

No disrespect to John Stewart at the Daily Show, but please stop trying to 'both sides' the current situation in America. It's really not helpful, no matter how any grievances people have with the Democrats, when the other side has made it clear exactly what they're doing.

While these things aren't going to immediately affect me (I'm British), everything that is happening right now with my transgender siblings in America breaks my heart. And there's not a damn thing I can do. Why can't we be left alone?

Coming to the end of rewatching Kamen Rider Kuuga in time for the shows 25th Anniversary. There is so much that can't be said within the character limit. What I can say is that this holds up exceptionally well. A real gem of a series that is more revolutionary in 2025 than it was in the year 2000.
