The kids were playing with my genbakantoku today, gleefully snapping and flashing in each others faces... Didn't realize there was film in there til I heard the rewind motor 😂 lets see if there's anything worthwhile on this one. I have no idea when I loaded it.

Had to bring a few extra things for the office today, and when we prepared to leave our son asks "are you going on an airplane?"
Dang, they're catching on!

Had a few hours to ourselves so we stopped by one of my old favourites in Shinjuku, Sangokuichi. The area was super crowded so I was really surprised they didn't have a line! The salad Udon still hits the spot.

So since they pulled paw patrol off of Netflix and put it on @paramountplus.com where it doesn't have German audio anymore, we picked up some DVDs while back in Austria. At least Japan has the same region code right? Well guess how many of these disks my player will read.

Just randomly found a category that I never thought about but makes a lot of sense - CD drives that connect to a smartphone via WiFi and convert CDs without a PC (which a lot of Japanese people don't own). Would've loved to own one of these when I was going to indie shows frequently!

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.
But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

I'm this close to ditching OneDrive and moving my photos to Google Drive... I like how OD displays them the best, but the android app is garbage and just pretends the most recent folder doesn't exist even if you refresh.

Randomly remembered I had a black panther Lego set my best friend gifted me when I was in Vienna, so we started building it (the kids know BP from the Spidey cartoon).

LOL at anyone in comics thinking they have a ReSpOnSiBiLiTy to call out "bad comics," my good bitches: we are in comics, where probably 85% of us need a second or third job to get by, where many still have to be their own PR even when they get a deal; not one fuck is needed, not one should be given.
