Screenshot from the 1969 television series of Moomintroll with a rifle. Jansson was known to have a very negative attitude towards the controversial content of the series.

Just a reminder that the Goat did not burn in 2019 or 2024.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

It is worth stressing that this was the number two story on CBC News yesterday.

Japan's viral 7-Eleven egg salad sandwich launches in the U.S. Why is it so popular? | CBC News 7-Eleven is bringing its famous egg salad sandwich to U.S. stores, announcing Wednesday that its Japanese-style tamago sando has landed, complete with "pillowy milk bread and creamy egg salad made wit...

Of fucking course.
"When reached by CBC News about whether the sandwich would be sold in Canadian stores, a spokesperson for 7-Eleven could only confirm the sandwich's launch nationwide in the U.S."

I sure am!

Man, people can get away with saying the dumbest shit on this website.

Maybe they'll just sell HBO off to Crave and they'll expand into the US, hahahah.

Awful, but the least worst outcome we could've hoped for. I expect Bell will still be able to hold on to the HBO streaming rights with all of that hockey yaoi money they're raking in.

i am going completely insane watching gamers make up shit about horses and interrogating every single thing the devs have said for inconsistencies and then deciding well it probably had cp in it. this is the easy mode version of the kinds of censorship that are to come and you're failing like babies

ICE ordering fleet of 20 armoured vehicles from Canadian firm U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has earmarked millions of dollars for a bulk order for 20 armoured vehicles from Canadian defence manufacturer Roshel that are built to resist bullets and bomb...

Ladies and gentlemen, make sure to keep your elbows firmly up while inside the vehicles bound for a country that's going to use them to illegally kidnap innocent men, women, and children share.google/ANhrgIX5WcIm...

I second the Panasonic 820. It's got Dolby Vision, really great upscaling and a little trick that lets you sometimes play BDs from other regions! The PS5 is OK.

Episode 104 - Underdiscussed Vancouver Fandom History I've finally found the courage to talk about the sometimes tumultuous history of anime fandom in Vancouver, including stores like Anime Jyan...

New podcast episode is out! Hieu Phan joins me to talk a little about Vancouver anime fandom history. www.zannen.ca/2025/11/epis...

"Don't replace the culture war with class war - Alice Thomson" the article snippet reads. Then beneath the snippet appears a crying guy who is saying "bro please don't worry about why you pay more in taxes than billionaires. Worry about the war on Christmas and the trans agenda. Please bro. Stay distracted bro."

So I did not realize that I can just switch my PS5 Slim to play Region B and Region 2 discs and just use my other player for domestic discs? Potential game changer here!

Why not get an antenna?

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.

I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

Thinking about the Rankin Bass Style stop motion short about the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima again. I believe it can be borrowed from a few libraries in Japan (It's an educational film), but most people would call that "Lost Media" wouldn't they? Source is Okori-jizō (1983)

Someone recently did a restoration of the Blue Water Dragon Ball dub using the Dragon Box masters, if that's what you're angling for.

I think so. Those movies were even on Crave for a bit. I think Adventures was on Netflix a long, long time ago.

I think this is the first time that Digimon Adventure has been streaming here in a very long time. I think it's been Hulu only for years.

This is the most broadly accessible Dragon Ball Super and Kai have ever been in Canada.

Disney+ Canada added Dragon Ball Super this month. And it looks like they are also adding Digimon Adventure and Dragon Ball Kai in December.

From the sailormoon community on Reddit: In the 90s, there was a Sailor Moon stage show at Ontario Place in Toronto. Here are some photos I found in an old photo album. That’s me with Sailor Venus! Explore this post and more from the sailormoon community

Here's some documentation of one of the stage shows I found on Reddit. Famously, Samantha Bee had one of her first acting gigs in one of these shows. www.reddit.com/r/sailormoon...

It was more than just toys, though. There were stage shows in Ontario! Department stores had to hastily throw together displays with the material they had on hand to meet demand! It got mentioned in a Royal Canadian Air Farce Sketch. This is the reason Sailor Moon was mentioned in BNL's "One Week".

And then of course there's this less concise podcast episode I did on it forever ago. www.zannen.ca/2016/07/epis...
