Catherine O'Hara, the actor who starred as Kate McCallister in “Home Alone,” has died at 71, TMZ reports

Tragic really. 10 years on. Rocking back and forth in its pungent prejudice-and-nostalgia-soaked corner, begging the architects of their precious Brexit to make - whatever their impossible fantasy was - come true.
It’s truly pathetic.

It's #Japanuary and I wish some clever distributor could bring lectures by all the great anime directors, artists and scholars out on subtitled BluRay. There's a lot of material unseen by Western fans and scholars.

If Britain had a Department of Culture, it would be able to engage with this issue.

Well deserved. The film is a masterpiece and always has been.

The Verge laid off numerous gaming writers and an editor barely a week ago, and now has an article about how a writer used AI to generate his own copyright-infringing Nintendo games with detailed steps on how to do so.

This isn't games journalism. This is slop and clickbait, top to bottom.

A term to know in this world with AI: Cultural stagnation.

It’s the slow flattening of creativity into polished sameness.

The algorithm just doesn’t know how to be weird and creative like humans do. tcnv.link/pJci63b

Sorry but why the fuck would you *not* want to recreate 2006?Pre-financial crash, pre-austerity, pre-Brexit, pre-inflation. Britain's economically healthy, decent public services, largely competent government, fairly amiable political disputes. What kind of person prefers this period to that?

It's official. Anime Ltd are releasing AKIRA, GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES and ANGEL'S EGG in the UK this year!

Dates to come!

This is a Brexit fallout that is enraging, deeply undemocratic and damaging for the whole country.
Tories, Reform and Labour have all decided that their stereotype of the brexity social conservative red wall voter is the *only* voter worth bothering with. The rest of us can go to hell.
