Alan L. Hart was a pioneering figure whose work in radiology helped save thousands from tuberculosis, a deadly disease in the early 20th century. In 1918, he became the first transgender man in the U.S. to undergo surgery.

This is a famously messy Norwegian biathlete who was banned in 2023 from the Biathlon World Cup because he accidentally fired his competition rifle in his hotel room (he was also teary and apologetic then)
new most bizarre moment of the Olympics just dropped

Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back

1931: NIKKATSU AND YAMAMOTO RETURN

Calling someone "the father of anime" isn't something anyone does lightly. But it might just be appropriate in the case of MASAOKA Kenzō. Elsewhere, YAMAMOTO Sanae continues to grind out cartoons.

This was the year when Nikkatsu Studios returned to making animation. It was also when Yamamoto Sanae simply kept going.

Post a banger that's not in English. This is so good, even though it took me years, I adapted it into English. Plan B's version misses the point.

Playing "good crip, bad crip" doesn't help any of us.

Disablist bigots don't care who's legit or not; they'll still accuse someone in a powerchair of faking and scrounging.

I have both visible/less-visible impairments; the less-visible ones are disbelieved constantly & visible ones over-hyped.

I'm praying they don't have any exclusive anime licences that I would need for my blog. That's the only reason I would pay as much as £5.
HBO Max is to launch in the UK on Thursday 26th March.

The Pitt S1 will be on there with S2 episodes out weekly.

It will be the home of TNT Sports (£30.99 a month). Four different other packages available from £4.99 a month.

1931: IWASAKI AND A NEW PILLAR

Today, the Proletarian Film League have an unfortunate logo, and OISHI Ikuo, "The Japanese Disney", makes a cartoon I can actually watch.

Bucks/GOA and Sky/Knight were both decent, though the latter wasn't the X-Division explosiveness I was hoping for. Both were dragged down by a limp crowd. I really hope that Scorpio Sky hasn't hit his ceiling. Is it too obvious to expect Sky Flight to win the Trios titles in Australia?

COLUMBO: Now, my wife, she thinks that being a homicide detective can really get to a fella so I should consider therapy

Dr. HANNIBAL LECTER: You bring your wife up so readily but I have to wonder whether she exists, or if she's just a way for you to reveal your inner thoughts

(to be continued?)
COLUMBO: So, let me get this straight, you solved the case before I got here?
MISS SCARLETT: Yes, lieutenant.
COLUMBO: And the murderer is...?
MISS SCARLETT: Me.
COLUMBO: So... you confessed?
MISS SCARLETT: Oh, no. I proved it deductively. I was as surprised as anyone.
COLUMBO: Okay, now you see...
COLUMBO: And these babies, you just… gave them away?

OBI-WAN: For their own safety. Their father had become a very great threat.

COLUMBO: So you leave the boy on his father’s planet, under his father’s name, where he buys his father’s droids—

OBI-WAN: We can’t all be princesses, Lieutenant.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist.

Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.
