Mack to the Future

Only twenty-six years too late!

Birthdays are cool and all, but also I married the best person. I can recommend doing that every single day.

Corvax from Muzzy thinks about a helicopter and probably says it in the language you're trying to learn. Remember: those kids aren't French, they're American!

Hey, I know that guy! He helped teach me Spanish!

People, it's 2025! If they'd had to walk back from school in 80s New York they'd have died of shock!

I have never been as pants-pissingly scared as Charlie Kirk was walking to the Red Lobster in Times Square, not even that time in freshman year I was mugged outside a methadone clinic on First Avenue.

Liberty Belle! Cheetah! The (good) Sandman! Holy crap, the stuff that could branch off of this one illustration...

"Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?"

A corgi from the neck up, looking off camera over a balcony to the left. His tongue hangs out of his mouth.

Today is Monty's birthday, and he's looking forward to treats and attention. I hope we all see the future as brightly.

I drove a million miles to be there tonight.

I didn't realize my dog was an acting coach, but damn if Krypto didn't take all his mannerisms from him.

Superman was a delight, absolutely the summer movie we need right now.

Lucasfilm already tried this! It was called The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and I was the only person who enjoyed it!

The writers of Existo are interviewed at the Belcourt Theatre after a screening. Behind them is a huge splash of Existo drowning in alphabet soup.

Closed out June at @belcourttheatre.bsky.social to see 1999's wild experimental Nashville musical EXISTO. Coke Sams & Bruce Arntson were there to see how much we loved their Ernest-universe-adjacent piece of agitprop. Someone please get this on Bluray pronto!

"...wotashame."

This is my favorite comic of all time.

It's gotta eat him up inside that he got less popular when he moved to the Nashville suburbs. If you can't make it here, you can't make it anywhere.

My NYT Top 10 movies since 2000: Walk Hard, Best in Show, Three Identical Strangers, The Incredibles, Spirited Away, Fury Road, Atomic Blonde, O Brother Where Art Thou?, and Speed Racer.

All right, I did the ranking. This was impossible. I could have done a top 100 of just documentaries.

Remember that Zohran Mamdani has to beat Curtis Sliwa and Eric Adams in the general, thus completing the Triforce of New York's Irrelevant Past.

I've gotten far too many folks who are on the outside looking in thinking that folks in anime fandom media are making a living on what we do

Nope. A good 90% of us work multiple jobs, and moonlight to pursue anime journalism as our passion

Congratulations to the Seattle SuperSonics!

What could possibly go wrong?

--Pretty much my whole family tree, 1958

(But for real it's absolute horseshit what they're doing)

I had a model of this on my desk through the 80s and 90s, and the only drawback was that it wasn't in scale with any of my action figures. Matt Tracker deserved this car!

My local D'agostinos had the butcher counter next to the ice cream because they shared a power outlet in the way back. And the door to the on-sale VHS cabinet would let out a siren if you opened it. Now it's a apartment-building-tenants-only gym that I've never seen anyone enter.

Using a spirit medium to contact his dad to get even shittier ideas.

The ONE arrest at the Nashville protest was this lone numbnut.

"There are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade."

when joel hodgson left MS3K he initially wanted the character of joel to get hit with a Sex Ray and turn into a woman who is also still joel. so there's a lot to think about

About 3 dozen LAPD officers in full riot gear, standing around looking confused, bored, aimless. A waste of taxpayer money, a threatening show of force without morality or purpose. Behind them, the north wall of the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, covered with Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)" mural: against a field of stark red, white letters that read, in part, WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO DOES THE TIME? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST

Pulitzer prize for this Jay L. Clenendin image of LAPD stormtroopers in front of Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Questions)"

This just seems like a slap in the face to Los Angeles right now. Blasting "Heroes and Villains" while trying to figure out how I can help today.

Be seeing you every week for this one. It's the best TV show ever made and this is a great reason to revisit it.
