Hi! I hope you fine folks don't mind one more self-promotion post about the album I just finished, but I am on the cusp of being devoured by work deadlines again, so I wanted to make a thread about the art & typography of "Psychic Battle" before I get too busy. This was a big project for me!

Hey, is anyone hiring film critics now? Looper just cut the number of reviews they're publishing per month in half so that's a significant shrinkage in my regular income. I write about blockbusters, indies, animation, film festivals, all genres!

Also, here is my semi-annual plea to news writers to keep an eye on the smaller, niche focused sites and creators when posting about games we specialize in. Our writers (and those over at @massivelyop.bsky.social) have been working on this story since it broke on Saturday - hours before anyone else

🚨 There's a NEW item on the Dropout Store!

A reminder from Brennan: laws are threats created by a dominant socio-economic group.

And what better way to remember this, than on a t-shirt to wear close to the chest.

So redact dipshit from the files, but leave out in the open the victims' information and images? Of fucking course, you would.

i checked, and yyyyyyep

haha

in a perfect world, crunchyroll would have a content review team that would catch issues like this. but they dont. its up to end users to report issues like this to CR. i just did that, now let's see how long it takes for them to fix it :3
It has now been over a month since @crunchyroll.com dropped episode 10's dub of Gintama: Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class with broken audio (the Japanese audio is playing over the top of the English audio). Still not fixed btw

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

🚨BREAKING🚨

Crunchyroll has allegedly rolled out a new "Slow Sellers" policy for the Crunchyroll Store in which products that fail to meet internal sales expectations are flagged, leading to order cancellations & delisting of product to prioritize "fast selling" products from Well Known IPs

Well, I have surgery in March (few days after my birthday) to find out if I got bigger problems (the c-word) to deal with

Until then, I’m going to keep chugging along and fighting fascism with each goddamn day.
