I think more of us should take Miyazaki’s movies to heart. We rewatched Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind today.

I don’t think I’ve *truly* listened to Alanis Morissette and I should probably remedy that

I absolutely can’t be trusted to function normally when I’m on deadline and working on revisions.
My brain is constantly in puzzle solving mode. This weekend while driving I missed my exit twice and later I placed these baking pans directly on my grill.

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

Big Honey thoughts:
Jack and Lil’s grandparents visit sparks a wild rivalry that escalates into a fight against a mega-corp.
Despite the chaos, the episode balances heart and humor well, capped by the expected but charming twist that Li’l Henry was Big Honey all along.

How to Bag a Beast thoughts:
One of the strongest Jack & Lil bonding eps yet, perfectly showing their growth.
The quest to get their stuff back is engaging, Sammie/Mrs. Withers/Mr. Bo feel genuine without overstaying, and the incorrect-name gag at the end had me losing it.

Hollywood is always trying to convince itself (and investors) that controllable, knowable factors are a huge part of the success "formula", when everybody KNOWS it's passion, taste, trust and luck that make a hit. By the time you can see the zeitgeist it's too fucking late.
Netflix fell backwards into KPop Demon Hunters' success
The streamer's approach to KPop Demon Hunters means that its next big thing will likely once again come about thanks to external factors.

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off
Animation ruled streaming in 2025. Again. Nielsen data shows 'Bluey' repeated as the most-watched title across all genres, while 'KPop Demon Hunters' was the most-watched movie, and Seth MacFarlane won the inaugural Streaming Icon of the Year award.

I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.
Are the humanities the only disciplines whose classes begin with modules speaking to the importance of studying the humanities? "Why study the humanities?" and "Why the humanities are important" must be cliches.
