A screenshot of Discord showing I cancelled my subscription.

After 7 years I'm cancelling my Discord Nitro subscription. Fuck their data harvesting bullshit.

Very special delivery today! Ichi the Witch volume 1, limited edition alternative cover from Kinokuniya!

Big thanks to my friend Kewl for helping me get this! 😁

Screenshot of the MangaPlus app showing the page of Under Doctor, a new Shonen Jump series with 3 chapters released.

Under Doctor, three chapters in. Very very strong start. I'm really liking this so far.

Remembering Kai Budde The Magic: The Gathering world lost one of its greatest players with the recent passing of Kai Budde.

46... Unbelievable. Fuck cancer.

Such a humble man. Had the pleasure to chat with him at a couple of tournaments. He approached every player the same way, with openness and respect.

Rest in peace, German Juggernaut.

DOWN AND TO THE LEFT

This album has a handful of true bangers and then just a bunch of okay tracks. I still listened to it a lot when it came out and listened to it for the first time in years last week. Still like it, but it's definitely my least favorite blink record.

Symphony of Seasons fucking slapped.

I didn't know, this was the first MangaPlus title I picked up from Viz. I know this was the case when M+ titles were picked up by other EN publishers, but didn't expect it with Viz.

Interesting, Viz's release of Centuria has a completely new translation, different than the one on MangaPlus.

Ah okay that makes sense. I only watch independent critics and all of them indeed loved it! And so did I. 😁

Really? That's crazy. The handful of ones I watch all had it in their top 3.

SINNERS SWEEP INCOMING

Jokes aside, Best Picture is the most stacked since 2019. It could honestly go to any one of them.

Do hope Sinners gets the recognition it deserves!!!

My local bookshop understands their audience.

When I was 11 I invented manga piracy. My thought: "People should take pictures of all the pages and upload them online! That way we can all read it". Turns out it already existed, but I arrived at it independently.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I wish Hunter x Hunter was still around. Gon and Killua would've loved 67.

Six issues of the Japanese manga anthology magazine Ultra Jump flat on a table, showing the cover. Each cover features Hiroyuki Takei's Jumbor, showing the main character: a boy with spiky black hair and yellow robot like arms.

Got some old Ultra Jump issues in today! These 6 are all the issues that had Hiroyuki Takei's Jumbor on the cover, instantly completing that part of my "collecting all magazine issues with a Hiroyuki Takei series on the cover" collection.

Children expected to die of hunger in Darfur ‘within days’, says UN Sudan chief UN's humanitarian coordinator Denise Brown warns of 'horrendous' conditions 1,000 days into the brutal war

It never made any sense to my. They have their own entire Kodansha USA for this. Why license their stuff out to SS? I'm glad they did a great job with Tokyo Revengers, but I was holding my breath when they announced those physical releases.

That is a horrifying number. I sincerely hope it's not the case...

Over 2000 protesters are said to have been killed in Iran which is fucking insane.

It's quite easy actually: fuck any government that kills protesters.

Well well well... Look what finally decided to show up. Man they knocked these out of the park. Just wish they were easily obtainable (in Europe).

People crying on X: The Everything App™️ about the new Grok AI feature letting you use anyone's posts, including images and art, to create new AI generated content. What did they all expect staying on Nazi Twitter? I can't say I'm surprised...
