See, it’s when you’re at your most at ease that death comes for you, unfortunately it wasn’t wearing a luchador mask this time.

But….

We need more people like May McGee in Ireland, not less.

Positively earth shattering.

Oh no, is this the all encompassing lockdown we were promised?

Folks watching House of Guinness on Netflix might want to pick this one up. You know, so you can secretly sit on the couch while the gang binge the show with you and then hit them the Da Facts ™️

Best Wes Anderson movie for me.

Rob Jabbaz's THE SADNESS comes to grisly Limited Edition 4K UHD from @ArrowVideo. Not for the squeamish! 🤢 #Halloween #SpookySeason www.easternkicks.com/reviews/the-...

What in the name of Sir Isaac H. Newton…?

I’ve been hauling and dragging all day in work. Six o’clock can’t come fast enough.

Attack on Titan needs to die faster than Solo Levelling. I’ve said it, I’m not taking it back.

You’ll be fine, let them do their work, concentrate on anything in the room that isn’t the staff, breathe, and try to un-tense when you feel yourself bunching up.

I know how to put a stop to that!!!!

I know this sounds silly but if not for @vf5ss.bsky.social’s posts about Zillion and Metal Armour Dragonar, I’d still treat them as entries in the anime encyclopaedia instead of enjoying them. Thank you for your efforts.

After watching Rogue One and Andor with her, I was watching Girls with my wife and came to the episode with Jessa going home to her family. Upon spotting Ben Mendelsohn, I shouted at the TV “ARE WE BLIND!!??! DEPLOY THE GARRISON!!!” My wife smiled at me and rolled her eyes.

Welcome back, lad.

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Just read about Kenya Suzuki being let back in. Man, manga publishers just can't help themselves, can they?

Image is of a digital illustration or AI-generated image featuring a middle-aged man in a formal setting. He has short, neat graying hair, a warm smile, and is wearing a dark suit with a white collared shirt and a striped tie (dark with lighter diagonal stripes). A hand is resting lightly on his right shoulder, though the person it belongs to is not visible

What in the name of all that’s holy…? Where’s the hand coming from???

You feeling in a Gundam kinda mood? I’m at “bout to slap a guy for telling me Kamile’s a girl’s name” level right now.

To the lady who approached my wife and I outside Lidl in Moore St. for crisps & chocolate, we had your request when we came back out, looking for you up to Parnell St. and back towards Henry St. We hope you were able to find food and shelter for the night, and that the world is kinder to you today.

A photo taken of the bedsheet of someone’s room. On the bedsheet is an art book and several Blu-rays for the anime TV, OVA and movie series Dirty Pair.

Dirty Pair finally arrived. Case for Flash is crushed on one corner but I’m not losing sleep over it. I know about the label issues for the two movies and audio issue for episode 24. I’ll wait to hear from others when they get their replacements. Otherwise, I’m happy.

Hey, you’re there, you’re trying. It’s their loss if they don’t follow through. When you guys stop having Nazis running the country, I’ll be back with my wife and we can meet up then. 👍🏻

Huh. FedEx just emailed me to say that my remaining Dirty Pair order is held at the warehouse in Dublin because I needed to declare its value. Even though the value was declared on the outside packing…

In any event, I sent them my old RightStuf PDF for the order, maybe they’ll get back to me today.
