Really good interview between Pep and Warnock, reflecting on the tough season so far and just chatting Football at large. youtu.be/fehxeF6qfpw?...

I’m an absolute tin hat about data privacy but I checked Screen Time and all the Apple Intelligence stuff had auto-defaulted to on. Worth a check; it takes seconds

regret to inform everyone this is a real guy who could be pope

DAZN has to be one of the all-time worst services out there. Even when something is free on there, the video player is so garbage, it's insane. Tragic that so much sports stuff is thrown on there.

The two Mega Man books are a lot of fun for longtime fans, but we think VEIL is going to really surprise and delight people.

Journalists in South Asia have been raising the alarm about this for so, so long. Meta etc helped incite genocide in Myanmar, they & Twitter & YouTube helped the ascension of Hindu supremacist mass radicalisation in India ages before tech oligarchs went full mask off for fascism.

Watching Smackdown and The Rock just showed up as The Final Boss, posed a whole bunch, then proceeded to go pick up a phone off the floor and hand it back to people like a lost kitten or something.

Desert Rose - Kaoru Shintani (best known by most people for Area 88)

Old #comic: The Breakfast of The Devil (1/15)

I love this, absolutely love it!

Nah, I'm tearing up, this is beautiful youtu.be/bRyUjYQlPcI?...

Picturing The Rock winning some kind of Acting Award for the Scorsese movie (if it gets made) and delivering a speech like SRK in that one scene in OM SHANTI OM.

What a good use of my Buymeacoffe page!🙏😌 buymeacoffee.com/ohotnig

India's censorious stranglehold on art and media only gets stronger as time passes. Full regression. Ban porn, then call anything with swear words and nudity porn, and keep going.

Comic publisher: We have a new, exciting business plan that creators will love and is going to revolutionize the industry! Me: Does it involve paying below-market rates to acquire publishing/media rights, recouping all of your expenses before splitting profits with creators, depriving creators…

Kobayashi continues to write the most meaningful and considered exploration of Asian footballing systems in relation to the European systems. This final arc is such a wonderful synthesis of so much of the comic's obsessions.

‘Free Luigi’ billboard has gone up in lower Manhattan the evening before his next court appearance. Sent in anon.

Reading the new piece on Pep, and perhaps no other manager in the game has ever had such consistently high expectations of them, I don't think. Just by virtue of having won so much since the day he began his career, in the way he's won too. With style, dominance, and an inevitability

Cover for volume #2 of Miyako Hillzuca’s “Sayonara Diamond” Runs in big comic spirits.

We need to be making weird art

Kogoro Mori is on the cover of issue #25 of “Advanced Time.” Advanced time is a Shogakukan lifestyle and fashion magazine geared at adults. This issue in particular has features on of Kogoro Mori, Gansuke Yamato, and Takaaki Morofushi, as well as an interview with Rikiya Koyama, Kogoro’s VA.

also... there's an exhibit of amano originals up at lomex in chinatown. completely bananas work. amazed at how amano pulled compositions out of these ink washes

Hirohiko Yokomi, known as inspiration for the “Tetsuko no Tabi” has passed at 63 years old The manga was serialized in several Shogakukan magazines ranging from Ikki to Sunday GX. Our thoughts to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

This is how we get Teremana and Zoa in Scorsese pictures. I can't wait.

The Rock being in the new Scorsese film... The Oscar Campaign about to go crazy. Dramatic Actor Dwayne Johnson era is gonna be hilarious. Funniest guy on earth.

Can't pretend I care about Bond in the slightest in the year of our lord 2025, but really Amazon should not be owning that or anything else. Shame it's not public domain really.

AIs needs to go, AI startups needs to go, their CEOs needs to GO, and their fresh graves should be pissed on daily Also, Silicon Valley should be salted, as a treat

Perhaps the most Western of all dissonances is being able to grasp that one lives at the decaying end of empire, rather like Rome, but in true exceptionalist fashion, wanting to and feeling entitled to escape all consequences of said empire's decay. Incongruous with both history and reality.
