6 months ago, in the shadow of the night, Israeli soldiers took 16-year-old American Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim from his family. He’s been imprisoned ever since. He’s suffered from scabies & lost 25 pounds.
Remember Sayfollah Musallet, the young American killed by settlers last month? They’re cousins.

I hadn't heard of Qzilla, the production company behind Crunchyroll's Sekiro anime. The trailer okay, but something felt kind of off. Looked them up on MAL and they didn't seem to have much motion in terms of the thirteen things its produced. Checked the company website and lo and behold.

So @toydonut.bsky.social asked if I intentionally use double spacing after my punctuation marks. Of course!? "What kind of uncivilized barbarian wouldn't follow a convention from the dawn of word processing?" "It must bother you reading everyone else's skeets." Now that I counted YES IT DOES!

Tonight’s movie was Zebraman from 2004. Billed as a sentai comedy, I was surprised how it more closely lands to Close Encounters. Loser dad and husband gains confidence and finds his calling along with a new family. Needed an editing pass. I’ll check out the sequel on a lazy afternoon.
